Home Of The Mighty
Feat. Perry Porter & Paolo Escobar
"After a year of working with film and production, Spekulation is back on the mic with his upcoming release of “Home Of The Mighty.” The song features a 20-piece horn section performing over a synth-driven, West Coast rap instrumental that pays homage to the Northwest’s varied musical history. The powerful and perfectly pieced production is no surprise effort from Spekulation, who spent the last year scoring for the short film Enemy Within, an official selection at the Cinedans International Film Festival, and promoting his instrumental album, Doc Watson.
“Home Of The Mighty” also features up-and-coming emcee Perry Porter and vocals by Paolo Escobar.
The song is a follow-up to his hit song “Bout That Action,” which Pitchfork described as “probably the best song I’ve heard in 2014” in their Mixdown feature. The instrumental received over 200,000 plays. Then, Prometheus Brown of hip hop duo Blue Scholars picked it up and the song “This Ain’t A Seahawks Anthem” took over the city during Super Bowl.
It’s clear that Spekulation is a Northwest gem, “Home Of The Mighty” is an inside perspective on where he and his collaborators work and play.
