I loved Wolf Castle's other album, 'Waiting for the Dawn'. Stephen Hero is new to me.

https://www.wolfcastle.ca/

Wolf Castle is an Indigenous rapper, producer and singer from Pabineau First Nation, New Brunswick.

Stephen Hero (Matthew Elliot) makes raw, working-class hip hop from Canada’s east coast. His style is influenced by alt-rap legends like Kool Keith and MF DOOM, with a strong penchant for the relaxed and joyous experimentation of groups like De La Soul and Beastie Boys, but with a contemporary feel.

Our Qobuzissime award is traditionally reserved for an artist’s first or second album—a debut statement that brings something fresh to the musical landscape. However, every so often, an album comes along that warrants bending the rules. Te Whare Tīwekaweka, Marlon Williams’ fourth solo album, is one such rare exception. This record, his first sung entirely in te reo Māori, is a stunning departure from his established sound, offering an intimate and profound exploration of identity, language, and connection.

Having spent the past decade crafting his distinctive Southern Hemisphere take on folk-pop, country, and bluegrass, Williams returned home to Lyttelton, Ōtautahi, reconnecting with family and deepening his understanding of his ancestral tongue. With the guidance of Lyttelton-based rapper Kommi, he embarked on a journey to express his deepest emotions in te reo Māori, resulting in a work that is both a personal milestone and a cultural triumph.

The album’s title, Te Whare Tīwekaweka, draws inspiration from a Māori proverb meaning “The Māori language is a window to the Māori world.” Through these songs, Williams discovers a new means of musical expression, embracing a lyrical honesty that transcends language barriers.

The album from Tron Legacy is one of my favourites. What do you think about this?

Guess what card I just pulled

I replaced a Giant Cape

My current deck is

Oh wow, I got the same two full art cards: https://lemmy.ca/post/50794322?scrollToComments=true

What are the odds that two people in this small community pulled the same full art cards within a few days

 

For the low rarity missions, I use a Druddigon + spiky helmet while I build up the Dragonites. I usually need to restart if I don't pull a Druddigon. With the new item card, I can evolve quickly and continue attacking while Draco Meteor is charged up.

I would love the Flareon EX, and I think I can give you a Celebi EX A1a 003 since I have a variant of it. I'll add you and try to send it. If not, I also have these from outside your wishlist:

A3 122	Solgaleo ex	♢♢♢♢

I should also have some low rarity cards from your wishlist, and I can slowly send them as we get new trade tokens.
