Quality freeness is what got this lil blog of mine started. This one is one of the best i’ve had the pleasure of posting. Hawaiian Hip Hop at its best. Peep his words: ‘we had our most authentic feelings and emotions as children before people started coaching on us on how to feel towards things we were exposed to, so I wanted to take that energy (childlike) into what my love for Hip Hop is. The "beta" in the title alludes to my desire that I want people to try it and really dissect it, and on a more artistic level, I hope that other artists after considering my work, try to put more of their artistic side and energy into their work’. –Juander-. Enjoy… I did!

I was gonna do a review piece for this one but i will simply say that this is the best Hip Hop release of the year so far & I would argue one of the best produced albums of the modern era. Anyone who wants to supass this is gonna have to go some… over to you Mr. Young.

I recently wrote a piece that I am still unsure whether to post or leave behind. Their is a part of that piece where I acknowledge the relatively recent pool of talent that makes up the current crop of UK Hip Hops bold and brave. I remarked on impending decisions for some of our great and good. It seems that with his 2nd effort, Micall is intent on grabbing the proverbial bull by the horns. Such is the crisp, sharp quality and execution of this album that you have to wonder how all of these producers are still only well known figures in Hip Hops underworld. Parky the MC is still the working mans champion. Lines like "I've come so far, I'm a man with a plan I ain't no rap star; I'm a man with a fam I ain't got no car, its my wife who can drive all I got is bars" are a testimony to what the man is about.No gimmicks, no banter, just real world lyrics with out of this world production. The engineer also deserves his props as the whole package is superbly mixed. Oh and having your son tell us not to 'bootleg my dads cd' is genius (as is the Erick Sermon inspired hook on Holdin' It Down). UK stand up!!!

Oh and keep an eye out for another Preach project which sees him partnered with Marc Mac from 4Hero.

Words by M. L. Rook

‘Around 1995, I was playing bass in a Dutch P-Funk outfit called Groovin' Pict. It would be an understatement to say that I could write a book about the many adventures of this group and its various formations, but that is a different story altogether. Back then, one of our rival bands had a new female singer called Moon Baker, who was both gorgeous and incredibly talented, and after hearing and seeing her in action, we all knew that we had to get her to join our ranks. To our delight, we were eventually able to persuade her to come sing with us, and Moon and I ended up playing music together in different configurations of the group until around the year 2000.
Fast forward to 2004. Moon called me up one day and told me she was at long last going to start working on her solo debut, and she wanted me to be the album's main producer. Over the course of two years, we worked on and off on writing, arranging and recording her album, titled "ABC Of Romance". It was released in 2007 by Supertracks Records, and knowing that, the term 'Off The Shelf' should not be taken literally in this particular context. However, I think that the release was limited to The Netherlands, Germany and Japan, so I don't think you'll mind if I drop one of my favourite songs that we did together, "Stay". If you like this track, you can find the full Moon Baker album "ABC Of Romance" on iTunes, Amazon and CD Universe.
Not only is she a phenomenal singer, but Moon is an amazingly humble, down-to-earth and sweet person. In my opinion, she hasn't yet gotten the full recognition that she deserves. I'll continue to do whatever I can do on my end to change that. If you dig the music, make sure that you spread the word! As always, thank you for listening’.

I've just finished listening to one of my favourite releases of the year so far (Percy Filths Elbow Grease EP) & its suddenly struck me that the level of respect for the UK MC/Producer has risen dramatically in the last year or two. Or is it the case that the level of respectability has always been the same and its the internet that is bringing everybody together? But the internet been around for far longer than this sudden spate of togetherness. The lines could have been blurred long ago yet apart from 1 or 2 exceptions, it didn't happen. Bare in mind we are not talking about the Jay-Z's or Kanyes of this world (and no, Chris Martin doesn't count) but the 'underground' fraternity. I read on some blog reply recently (I forget where) that we over here are simply riding the Dick of our US counterparts (I left out or replaced all the other explitives). 10 or maybe even 5 years ago I might have agreed. But due in no small part, to the calibre of MC that was being churned out across the pond, my mic/MPC wielding peers have been forced to up there game. As a result, the level of our game over here has risen drastically. The UK MC we can revere are now commonplace, while British Beatsmiths worthy if the title can be found in any back alley studio from Dorset to Dundee and everywhere in between. My little collection of tracks, both new and not so new is the pudding that holds the truth. Enjoy! Now let's just hope that our government can show the same level of improvement as our MC.

i'm not Suicidal

noreply@blogger.com (nofrillz) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:29:00 +0000

When an MC's major release is as short on time as Suicide Music is, setting the right tone is probably the best way to win over the listener. That being said, i'm still yet to decide if L.E.G.A.C.Y achieves this. Yet, when taken in context with the rest of the album, it fits like a glove. The concept & execution of the album as a whole is second to none. Some of the musings found on SM are typical of todays MC but more importantly they are typical of todays human beings. L.E.G's triumph is that he easliy uses these views & weaves them in with the more macabre final thoughts of his album persona. You could almost call each track an argument for or against the final outcome. Yet for all that to work, just the right atmosphere is need to sow it all together & Khrysis duly obliges. In my view this is easily his best work behind the boards. We all know that the man can make bangers but that isn't all that was needed here. His beats are either thumping, sombre, leftfield or dark in all the right places (which also says something about the albums arrangement). Even if this album creation was simply a case of I make beats you spit over them, the key is, that is not what is conveyed to the listener. It is quite simply put together too well for that to be the case. Now I know that stringing this kind of concept out would go against it, but my only gripe is the length of the album. Not neccessarily the number of tracks, but the length of the tracks themselves. With an average of under 3 minutes, everything is over before you know it. Maybe thats part of how it's all supposed to feel given the overhanging theme. But regardless, as you may have guessed, what the album lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality. Ignore this at your own risk,

Just finished checking this one out. Definite niceness here. Soulstice has easily kept his more than solid catalogue going with this one. This time he is backed from start to finish by SBe (who is one to watch for sure). Plus the guest list is crazy. Supastition, GLC, Oddisee, Eternia, Kohndo, Zap Mama, Krewcial, Wordsmith & Kev Brown all make an appearance. If that isn't enough to put you up on this then nothing is. I've dropped a couple of tasters for the good people to try out. Enjoy!
