Sound of Teejuana is a collaborative project between, Tom Caruana (Beats and a bit of rhyming) and Teej (Rhymes). They had previously worked together on albums such as Caruana's Bric a Brac, The Boiler Room Collective LP and Teej's Step In My Adventure EP. The two met at University during the earlier part of the decade and shared a smokey, grimey student house, where no one ever did the washing up but lots of amazing Hip-Hop was made.
After finishing Uni, Tom moved to Brighton and Teej would often come to visit clutching his rhyme pad and a bucket and spade. The Sound of Teejuana is the result of those visits. The result of long nights, early mornings, scrawled chains of thought and obscure musical alchemy.
Lyrically quite a few different bases are touched. From the festivals and messy nights of 'Glastonbury' and 'Another Typical Weekend', to the unfortunate view of females in western religion: 'The Divinity of Femininity'. With just enough room for some stuff about trapdoors and politics inbetween. Also featuring the insane tea-swilling Victorian ringmaster Proffesor Elemental and the Orwellian anarchist witch doctor Dizraeli.
Musically its the beautiful stew that Caruana fans have come to know and love. Eccentric, grooving, dusty, soulful platters of delight that have made him a cult UK beatsmith to those in the know. This is the Sound of Teejuana.
