LISTED REVIEWS
Energetic, lively and raunchy, they’re pissin in the mainstream and do whatever they feel like doing. Backed with homemade production from Dusted Don Govone and cuts from the likes of Camu Tao, DJ Mighty Mi ànd El-P, this album has a very consistent sound.

Hollasidewayz because Infinito is definitely not in the building once again! It’s good to see this talented lyricist and one of the hardest working MC’s in the industry have a distribution deal, so the name can be put out properly.

With Kan Kick, Exile, Hoax One and Mr Brady on your album, not much can go wrong. Funk at its most seventies-t, jazz at its coolest and soul at its smoothest is mingled into the 13 songs of Blame One’s third full solo album. Of course, the artist has to hold his own and lace these cuts with some in-depth, refreshing and cool lyrics with a strong flow to make the album fully enjoyable.

A celebration of hip-hop and clearly PUTS’ best album till date, that’s what 'Stepfather' really is. People who listened to hip-hop when Souls Of Mischief and The Pharcyde dropped their first album, will know how today’s audience will feel about this album in ten years time.

Clearly there is a good reason why 'Grandmasters' pops out on a large amount of the internet 'best of 2005' lists… Protect your pawns and other pieces: this album is lethal!

Take one of the best lyricists in the game, put him in a prison box for a few months and then release him; he’ll be a monster on the mic. Only one track deep and 'Institutionalized' starts off with Ras’ anger, persistency and metaphorical wizardry.

What else than musical greatness could you expect from two independent artists with a strong cultural consciousness, a huge musical interest and a very own, creative sound? The 'Oriana Lee EP' runs not yet 20 minutes deep, but it’s already been on rotation ten times more.

On the mic: Tame One, the Notty Headed Terror from New Jerusalem, in a former life partner of El Da Sensei in the super formation Artifacts. On the boards: Xing N Fox, a promising and creative production team whose main concern is to push the boundaries of hip-hop into new dimensions.

People get ready because there's a train coming straight out of Kentucky, Louisville aka the dirty South. It took a while before I decided to jump aboard, because Southern rap never ever appealed to me, unless the kind that stays away from the kakalak, crunk or whatever related.

This project is not bad, the man knows how to make songs, how to hide his inabilities, he knows how to put together an album and completed two pretty cohesive EP’s, of which the instrumental one, 'Monkey Vs Robot' is our favourite.
