LISTED REVIEWS

Maylay Sparks
Maylay Sparks Truckdriver Fortuneteller EP Felix Records/Soulspazm Digital • 2011

Maylay Sparks, with his typical rigid, hungry flow and raw delivery, refers to his multiple travels, his fiend for alcoholic beverages, independent chicks and explains the rap mission he’s on.

Sol Infinite
Sol Infinite Within, Destination SR • 2011

Sol’s debut album is –oh contradiction- preferably to be played at night. Or at least at that particular moment when the sun dusks or dawns, when dreams and deeds overlap. When the horizon inspires.

Apathy
Apathy Honkey Kong Dirty Version Records • 2011

Ap loves rap, he stayed loyal to its purity (‘I never made it, cause I never tried to make you dance’) but it’s revealing to hear that, unlike many other artists, he doesn’t pretend to be the navel of the world. Nor does he incite his fans to put him on a pedestal.

Luckyiam
Luckyiam I Love Haters LRG • 2011

Luckyiam concentrates on love and the lush life. He’s a rapper who can make the most interesting song about shooting the breeze. Probably a Pacific breeze.

Rasheed Chappell
Rasheed Chappell Future Before Nostalgia Kay-Dee Records • 2011

Project City, New Jersey lyricist Rasheed Chappell is a painter with words. As an author of a poetry book, Chappell plays all the cards of his vocabulary in order to turn his debut album into a sound palette full of imagery.

Kyo Itachi & LMNO
Kyo Itachi & LMNO Born Again N/A • 2011

With an impressive career path, from starring in a video with D.O.C., Dr Dre and Eazy-E in 1989 to conquering the world with The Visionaries crew, and a slew of solo recordings, LMNO still makes progress and that is, pardon our French, f-ckin grand.

Mr Brady & Sha Dula
Mr Brady & Sha Dula Lava Lamp EP N/A • 2011

Tired of the bad weather these last few days? Get back inside, make yourselves comfortable and turn on the Lava Lamp.

Sunspot Jonz
Sunspot Jonz Galaxy of Dreams Outhouse • 2011

Living on a dream and it just don't stop...Sunspot Jonz's creativity seems endless as he explores all kinds of musical milky ways. After releasing dozens of solo albums and guest featuring on an abundance of songs, we can call the level that he's still reaching unearhty.

Random Axe
Random Axe Random Axe Duck Down • 2011

Ever since they made a pact in 2007 while touring the world together (Belgians surely remember their passage in Ghent), the triumvirate of Detroit’s Black Milk and Guilty Simpson and NYC’s Sean Price conquered the underground fans' hip-hop hearts in a dazzling tempo.

Statik Selektah & Termanology
Statik Selektah & Termanology 1982 ShowOff • 2011

Statik Selektah and Termanology have a few things in common. They are both from Lawrence, Massachussets, they love authentic hip-hop ànd they were both born in 1982. Let those things be the fundamentals for this solid collaboration.
