SAN & THE KRITIK presents CLASSIC DIRT(2011)

2011-04-24T19:22:00.000+02:00

FINALLY!!

The long awaited, most anticipated album finally drops. This is a CLASSIC DIRT dropped right at ya door step. This feature host the best and the dopest emcees, vocalists and poets alike.

A word from the producers self SAN & THE KRITIK: "The project in simple terms can be explained as the

end product of like minds, the consequence of understanding the musical
and artistic benefits borne from international relations. Classic Dirt brings
together on one record, some the world's finest emcees, producers,
vocalists and poets to wax lyrical with prowess over production by the
Kritik and the San."

Here are few joints to lookout for, the whole production is on point, but as u know each man has they favorite cuisine. The songs that stood out for me and gets 5deathstars (a blog's highest rating).

in no particular order: -Next of kin pairs seasoned South African emcees Lyrical TIP (Thought In

Parenthesis) and Nawty P over a Kritik beat. In a similar fashion to how
most if not all the tracks on the album were created by the respective
artists, next of kin was never a pre-conceived concept. In fact, much like "full
throttle" (which we break down below) and a couple others, the name "next
of kin" was only selected after we got and heard the track back from TIP
and Nawty P. Needless to say, TIP and P, like all the artists on the album,
were sent the beat with carte blanch and what we got back was something we
couldn’t have drawn up. The chosen concept alone didn’t just grab our
attention, but rather that, the execution as well as the articulate narration of
the tale.

-Oh well is produced by San and features Sage, a poet/emcee from

Lesotho. The song marks a slight yet complimentary shift of flavour since
the intro, as the role of production credit is handed over from the Kritik to
the San once again. The transition is one that should almost suggest to the
listener, "take a deeper look", as the musicality from the two producers and
artists on the album promises to offer more surprises.

more information on Sage, you can follow him on twitter here: @LabaneSage

-Full throttle features super emcees Little Vic and CP straight out of Long

Island, New York City over a Kritik beat. Hands down, Little Vic is perhaps
one the best straight spitters in the game today. Ask any true school head
he’s worked with, be it BuckWild, DJ Premier, KV Beats or DJ John John, not
many can touch him on flow let alone rhyme scheme. To have not only an
emcee of his caliber but also a label mate of his in CP on our tape, is an
incredible blessing. Make sure you check for Apocalypto and The Ugly Truth,
the latest mixtape offerings from Little Vic and CP, respectively.

LASTLY I FOUND MYSELF LOST IN THIS .....
-Mpalamise is a song by poet/emcee Pitso Ramakhula accompanied by

Sledge, over San production. Pitso Ramakhula is one half of Other Intelligences
(O.I.N.T.S), a group that although does not mark the start of their
relationship, was formed by Pitso and San around the early 2000s. In the
song, Pitso speaks (in his native language, Sesotho) on the history of “man”,
the need to reclaim pride in one’s identity and the fruits of oneness in
humanity. Make sure you also get your hands on “Ntsoana Tsatsi” the latest
offering from Pitso Ramakhula dropped under Audible Braile Entertainment.

Fellas, ladies all ya'll who digs the real raps, this is sure fire to set your 2011 alight, this album comes at a right time of the year just when'ts still fresh. Any other awards shows on the hip hop community shud give these two legends heads up!!

MOFF G - CYBER CIPHER: The Phantom Menace

2010-12-04T13:03:00.000+02:00

ON the 02/10/10 after a delay on the initial ddate for release MOFF G finally dropped the link for a classic record.
With that the 'CYBER CIPHER' began it's menace!!

That intro really embodies the idea behind this masterpiece of imaginative music writing. He then jumps on announcing his claim to the microphone with a banger on the lighter side; 'MY TIME'. I also found out Guy likes to be a big man in this business as he states on the track titled 'CLASS ACT', He takes it back to where it began with that joint.
MOFF then tackles the corrupt government that governs AFRICA as a whole, but he is being local, this is all reflected on the track; 'ORDINARY SLAVE'.
HE makes an unofficial take over plot on 'NU DAY' whilst all unravels with a back up of his long time buddy nd rhyme partner WARLORD in a track duly titled HOSTILE TAKEOVER'

THE production line up is off the hinges with the all time favorite, ZEB representing AFMP. Then FIN takes over the baton with laid back melodics, that kicks a hard snare. J-oNE is on that ol skool feel but with a bump and grind.
WARLORD is the mastermind for this takeover, representing CLAN -ORANGUTAN.

SOULYRIST/MR. VENICE takes out his android for on a joint by FIN, the NU DAY.

MOFF extends his word of thanx to all involved in making this project a success. LEBZOTIC we rise up from the ashes like a phoenix.

THIS is a true reflection of the man's skills and microphone prowess. he is versatile as that ...as he would say "DO ENJOY"

U CAN CHECK MOFF G @: www.reverbnation.com/moffg

i can't wait for an official leak or drop of this album.

this is what he had to say:
"“Golden Chariots VOL 2” is a remix project and is the second instalment in the four part producer series. With this offering my focus was much more on trying to understand the multiple dimensions of production and not just the beat making aspect of music creation. In more ways than one, the project is designed to put on display one producer’s rich versatility as well as uniqueness and growth in beat design. Moreover, VOL 2, being a remix project also humbly serves to give the listener a FRESHER take on their favourite songs"

the cover alone takes u on another level. so just wait on the music to drop....coming soon!!
