Moses Herman Jacobs

Grandmaster Flores This album picks up where the "bold school" circa 1989 sound left off. Insistent drums, layered loops, precise scratches, with the three MCs frantic flows dosed by DAISY-age whimsy. The anti-gentrification theme is explored without heavy handed rhetoric, opting instead for a triple narrative arc, "album as city" approach that rewards repeated listens. These artists do a lot in under 30 minutes, and the sequencing and transitioning is the icing. Cop it, the proceeds go to a good cause. Favorite track: I Am.

jdsoundbite That kick drum on Off the Block! Great production and vocals to match. "The meek shall inherit the dirt." <3 Favorite track: Off the Block.

about

“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” - Jane Jacobs

It’s been 60 years since Jane Jacobs’ seminal book The Death and Life of Great American Cities was originally published. Her vision for a city “created for everybody” has instead, become one in which economic inequality and gentrification have forced us to confront the idea of Home: what we’ve created for ourselves and what has been shaped by the socio-political forces beyond our control. These questions seem ever more pertinent for those who live in the dense city space during the pandemic.

Seasoned New York City MC’s Sir Tumes, Mikal Amin, and Long Division, led by the production of San Francisco-based DJ and producer Professor Brian Oblivion, navigate us through this existential journey.

Moses Herman Jacobs is named after some of the central figures who helped shape NYC and San Francisco into what it resembles today. It was a project started years ago by Jacques Dupoux and given life by everyone involved. It’s being released under DUPO, a design studio that occasionally tries to do more than just design.

All proceeds from album sales are being donated to our favorite grassroots organization, Equality for Flatbush. For years they’ve fought gentrification head-on, fighting landlords and the city, to keep people in their homes and neighborhoods.
