I Know You Gonna Dig This #4
Since the turn of the New Year, the “major” hip-hop releases have left somethin’ to be desired. I mean it’s gotten so bad, I’ve been bumpin’ old Mic Geronimo and Doobie Brother’s records. Anywho, thank the Lord for the underground–peep the goodness:
Domination Recording artist and Chi-town representative, Cos
mo Galactus serves up the “Appetizer” ; a mix-tape prelude (if you will) to his upcoming Domination Recording LP Hunger Strike. Sounds like dude has thing for digestive themes(???)
The Wise(n) Rhymer:
Not to be outdone–yet another Domination Recording artist hands out a few freebees, as Praverb the Wyse (gotta luv the spelling, right!) makes his latest mix-tape “The Gospel Is Free” available for
download. (And what do you know its free!!) Mix features Praverb’s take/lyrics over contemporary hits and features fellow mic-mashers Billybo, JC Rymez and Change. Check for Praverb’s official debut Center Of Attention coming soon.
The One Man Army returns!
If One Be Lo’s ‘next-up’ effort, The R.E.B.I.R.T.H is anything like his last (the relatively slept-on classic from a few years back S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M) then the hip-hop sonic drought should be over! Check out: “Gray” and judge for yourself!
And one to grow on…
Queens, N.Y. emcee and graphic artist Bisc 1 will be taking the plunge into the sound game with his ‘official freshmen’ release, When Electric Nights Fall. (Sounds like a title for a great poem!) Not
necessarily a newjack in the game, as Bisc has held down on the art direction tip for a number of well-known indie’s (Aesop Rock, Murs, C-Rayz-Walz), and like every other rapper in this world his 07′ mix-tape, The Stay Up Project has made its rounds…
But even with all of that, the folks over at indie hip-hop label, Embedded Music are givin’ Bisc 1 the industry co-sign! And if that’s not enough to peak yuur interest then perhaps the first single, “Turbulence” will?
P.S. I Love You!
Nah, not really..and that had to be the lamest Hillary Swank movie ever. (???) But, ya know..a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do–especially when the better half is pickin’ the movie. But, I digress–one mo’ freebee to keep y’all amped: Clan Destined feat. Laws “Older and Wiser.”
