3582 Situational Ethics Humdrums • 2003

The fact that the Belgian summer of 2004 wasn’t so hot (literally speaking) as the year before (more info at www.kmi.be) made us grasp back to some albums that would set a tropical mood

3rd Bass
3rd Bass Derelicts Of Dialect Def Jam • 1991

Ok, 'The Cactus Album' was a fantastic album with fantastic cuts and the introduction of Zev Love X. But their second LP 'Derelicts of Dialect' never received the credit like the first album did.

7L & Esoteric
7L & Esoteric DC 2: Bars Of Death Babygrande • 2004

Hip-hop, girls, politics and society, Esoteric has an opinion ànd his flow is unbeatable, stuck on the beat like Pattex glue.

Quasimoto The Unseen Stones Throw • 2001

Lord Quas has the microphone mathematics, he’s 'the new breed fuckin up the mainstream', he’s ready 'to put ya head up in the guillotine'

Masta Ace A Long Hot Summer M3 • 2004

'A Long Hot Summer' proves that, after almost 20 years, one can still reach higher grounds. Respect.

Viktor Vaughn
Viktor Vaughn VV 2: Venomous Villain Insomnia • 2004

This album is a direct reflection of quality 21st century hip-hop and it’s also nice to see that two lyrical geniuses have finally found each other on a track

Capital Tax
Capital Tax The Swoll Package MCA • 1993

No gangsta ish on this one, but plain street rap. The beats, produced by Smooth G, are (indeed) smooth bass lines, funky drum lines with lots of saxes in the background.

Hard Knocks
Hard Knocks School Of Hard Knocks Wild Pitch • 1992

Hardhead’s easy way of rhyming with a raw voice and analyzing social and political problems is impressive.

The Roots
The Roots The Tipping Point Geffen • 2004

Back on memory lane with The Roots’ newest album: glad to see that some veterans keep the hip-hop spirit alive in 2004, it takes skills and, most of all, guts!

Dark Sun Riders
Dark Sun Riders Seeds Of Evolution Island • 1996

This album is highly underrated, not a classic but way before it’s time, maybe that’s why cats just weren’t ready for this one in 1996. To the East, blackwards!
