1. Original
2. Hectic Remix
One’s from Russia, one’s from the USA, together O. Crow and L’Raquel are definitely a force to be reckoned with. These kick ass ladies release their ‘It Is What It Is’ on the Rub-A-Duck label. This sturdy glitch hop track is an obvious warning to the world; O. Crow and L’Raquel are taking over!
DJ Hectic has taken up a remixing this track adding extra spice to it, making the release complete.
Hailing from California, U.S., 23 year old L'Raquel is an exciting new name in the world of electronic / dubstep and trap. Active for over a year now, she already released a long list of tracks like "Never Drink Wine", "Blaze", "High For This", "F*ck With Me", "Mirror Mirror", "Roll One Up" (with Yung Incredible) and many others. She had her debut release on Rub-A-Duck only a few months ago with ‘Mind Ya Bizness’ together with F.I.69.
Not pussyfooting around with a dime a dozen lyrics, L'Raquel represents a much needed breath of fresh air in today's avalanche of sugar coated, radio friendly female acts.
Having grown up on the art of British electronic musicians (Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers left their imprint on the fragile teenager mentality), Russian O.Crow could not ignore the emergence of U.K. Garage in the late 90's, which led to her interest in dubstep. Although O.Crow always preferred the underground in her music preferences, she does not limit herself by one style and believes that high quality and interesting music can be found in any direction. However, the most bright emotions of the O.Crow causes heavy bass music, and it’s special musical vision she always wants to share with others.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Rub A Duck manage to put in the map of global EDM artists from all over the world with creativity and fresh approach. When two amazing talents O.Crow & L'Raquel connect you can always expect miracles happen. Their common clubfloor shaker is called It Is What It Is and you can expect a brand new hybrid of dubstep, trap and hip hop in one explosive package. The rhythm is deadly, the groove is hooky and the vocal is the coolest that you can hear with so much attitude and honesty. The remix comes from Hectic who plays around and experiments with music and sounds with explosive fire burning results. Packed with bass power and funky addictive rhythm to the maximum the man in the gang shows to the ladies his talent and he does it with so much style. Like IT!
