Tuff Kong Records presents a truly special and one of a kind project from the multi talented producers/artists Lee Scratch Perry and
Mr. Green. Using the same ethos as his popular #LivefromtheStreets series (as seen on VICE/ Noisey as well as Complex and Netflix)
Mr. Green's goal was to do something that had never been done before. Although at the surface the record is a standard 18-19 minute
EP, digging deeper, listeners will find a sonic roller coaster that seamlessly combines over 20 different genres of music and styles.
"Super Ape vs. ?: Open Door" includes some truly heavy hitters and cultural icons contributing vocals, including Sheek Louch (The
Lox) , Daniel Son, HR (Bad Brains) and Eric"Scratch" Andre (Adult Swim, Disney's Lion King etc.) . Lee "Scratch" Perry is an iconic
music producer, singer an inventor noted for his innovative studio techniques and a pioneer of the development of dub music with his
early adoption of studio techniques. He has worked with and produced for a variety of fellow iconic artists such as Bob Marley, Beastie
Boys and The Clash and was sampled by Kanye West for his production for Jay-Z's "Lucifer." He has been named by Paul McCartney
as one of his greatest inspirations and included on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 most important musicians of all time. At
the young-age of 83 years old, he still tours and headlines shows and festivals all over the planet.
Although Lee Scratch Perry began making music over fifty-years before Mr. Green, he maintains that Green is one of his inspirations
and even may have helped launch his career, presumably through time travel, portals and Open Doors. "Are you ready out there for
me? I'm ready for you... Mr. Green, opens all the doors in the United States of America for me, so listen to our new project and the
open door."
