In Betweens

Yo, thank you for checking the blog. The schedule has been irregular, but that is due to Work and Family, but more than anything listening to a lot of music. The Summer is in Full Effect and it's like no other with amazing music to check out and enjoy. I'm just going to drop a few gems that I have been enjoying so far.

Daft Punk's Radom Access Memory was a classic before it was released, the hype that was produced and how well it lived up to all of it is a rare vision. Buy this record!!

Thundercat's latest album Apocalypse is the perfect match to contend against R.A.M. It's a dreamy funk journey through a hazy magic land. Some of the albums have songs named after films, but they remind you nothing about them and instead just take on their own life. This is a wonderful breath of fresh air.

The Black Opera follow no rules for their Hip Hop and by doing so (or not doing) they come with lyrics that break boundaries and smash misconceptions. They have three albums out and you need to check them all out as they are all insightful and diverse.

Finally (for now) I want you to know that Hip Hop as a music is being redefined as a Culture. It is no longer about selling albums or singles or even who is played on the radio (Radio has been played out for at least a decade). It's not about rappers, but about EMCEEs and it's being reborn with an entirely new perspective that is going to send your favorite rapper to The Grave. Brooklyn's Finest has produced a hefty roster of artists and the still young Progressive Era are proud to show their ancestors what they have learned. Twelve deep, The Pro(gressive) Era joins the Beast Coast crew that draws members from all over the United States and represents their vision with skilled finesse.

Yo, that's it for now, I hope I made up for some missing months and yes I'm still working on the GZA Liquid Swords box set review. Thanks and Peace, people.
