LISTED REVIEWS
Three years ago you left us dazzled, in despair, and doubtful. How could one of the most stubborn, pursuive and hungriest emcees step away from the game? After dealing with seven years of bad luck, reaching deadline after deadline, and having vented frustrations on 'Chain Letters' album, who would've figured?

‘Let The Right Ones In’ shows how hip-hop can do without a sample. With multifaceted musicians like Pope and Rain, how could it ever be dead?

'Once there was always something to get excited about, now it's like ‘look, there's another hip-hop album out. Woopty doo’, Eso Tre said about today's mindset. After hearing this album, you'll be more excited than 'Woopty doo.' though.

Having AG, Roc Marciano, Kool Keith, Kurious, ànd OC forming a group sounds like a dream to any hip-hop aficionado. Unreal, unbelievable. Or tricky? How would these lyrical giants fit together on a sonic canvass that’s not even 35 minutes long?

Despite the fact that Amp twitches the most electronic moves out of his keyboard, and Zumbi is on a quest for the deepest idles of the human spirit, this exquisite earworm still sounds accessible and refreshing.

If 'Cancer 4 Cure' was a book, it'd be compared with the sci-fi cult of Philip K Dick, the urban paranoia of Paul Auster, the numb nihilism of Bret Easton Ellis or the anti-authorism of George Orwell and Hunter S. Thompson.

Due to his left coast internship, Sene is not your usual Brooklyn MC. We doubt he would ever line up for a Brooklyn anthem like OC, Buckwild or Chubb Rock did. But then again: what’s a Brooklyn MC?

Their music is, like mathematics, no nonsense, upright, and, unlike mathematics, soulful with warm basslines and lush rhyhtms. Summarized: 'so fresh so polished so solid'.

Drop ‘The Akashik’ - Akasha is Sanskrit for ‘sky’, ‘space’ or ‘aether’- in your iTunes list, press play and you open up a can of worldly, folky hip-hop with hilarious lyrics and delirious concepts.
