CINE is the first collaborative project from rapper Cavalier and producer Child Actor, dropping November 15, 2024 on Backwoodz Studioz. Both artists have already had an active year; Child Actor crafted big singlesfor ELUCID, Navy Blue, and Open Mike Eagle, alongside a full album with shemar. All Cavalier did wasput out what might be the album of the year with Different Type Time in April, as well as We Gon' Need Each Other, a side project with Quelle Chris. It is a special moment when you have two artists on the rise team up for a project of this weight, and CINE delivers. This is a midsummer's dream of an album: languid, alluring, mysterious and beautiful-and through it all danger lurks in the wings.Cavalier is a visual artist in every sense of the word, so it is fitting when he describes the album in cinematicterms. "This is a rhythmic biopic, " he says. "Child Actor didn't just produce this record, he scored chapters ofmy life for processing, framed buried thoughts, and illuminated the grittier parts of my journey."If Different Type Time was Cavalier's sprawling magnum opus-his "Do The Right Thing", if you will-then CINE is his "Crooklyn". Equal parts memoir and memorial, CINE pulls from sepia-toned summers and black- and-white nights; one of ten million stories from a city that is gone but not yet forgotten. For his part, ChildActor saw where Cavalier was going and built upon those themes and ideas as their collaboration deepened."We talked about how these beats were somehow drawing him into a specific period of his life for whateverreason, and I wanted to find a way to have my post production provoke a feeling of genuine recognition, touse sounds and textures to turn whatever vague notions those beats might have been giving him into true sensememories, " the producer explains.So, on "Sojourn, " while Cavalier immerses us in a world of bus depots and liminal spaces that are the provinceof all traveling salesmen, Child Actor weaves air brakes, running engines, and stray conversations amongpassengers into the soundscape. That creative feedback loop became their shared process on CINE, working hand-in-glove like a director and cinematographer."I first met Cav at the Armand Hammer pop-up WBDTS release show. Woods surprised us by using the occasion to pitch us the idea of doing a collaborative EP, " Child Actor says. "woods went back to greeting fansand Cav and I got to talking through initial concepts. Cav told me something like "I don't do small projects, Ialways make sure to give people a full meal."While Different Type Time came to Backwoodz as a work-in-progress, CINE was conceived, developed and nurtured entirely under the label's auspices. Cavalier traveled back and forth from New Orleans to Brooklynto record with Backwoodz mainstay Willie Green, who also mixed and mastered the album at the GreenHouse.Meanwhile, Child Actor's come up started with Backwoodz Studioz, having produced extensively for ArmandHammer (Shrines, WBDTS, BLK LBL) and for woods and ELUCID individually (Terror Management, I Told Bessie), as well as big records for Fielded (Plus One), Moor Mother (Brass), and ShrapKnel (Metal Lung).
