"Don't get me wrong, Del is one of the most innovative and original rappers in the game. That being said, I've grown accustomed to his ability to spit ferocious and create thought provoking lyrics. He has also proven himself to be a dope producer with his funky bangers on "Both Sides of the Brain". D..."

"Being from Boston, and cool wit Slaine..of course I had to cop this, but I also am an MC myself so I don't hesitate to speak my mind and criticize where I see fit. This Album is dope..Jaysaun is a beast, EDO G is a staple in the Bean's Hip Hop scene, and Newcomer Slaine has fast risen as Boston's "P..."

"Binary Star is an underground duo from Pontiac, Michigan. These two emcees (Senim Silla and OneManArmy [aka OneBeLo]) recorded their debut entitled "Water World" in 1999 on $500 budget, released on their own label, Terrorist Records. They only pressed 1,000 copies of the record. So you would have be..."

"I purchased this album on pure recommendation from Los Angeles based rapper Murs. I read an interview with him on the web, and he was just raving about how good One.Be.Lo was. I figured that a well respected rapper such as Murs would have great taste in hip-hop music, which he obviously does, becaus..."

"One Be Lo's "S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M." Was my favorite album of 2005. So naturally, my expectations for "The R.E.B.I.R.T.H." were high. Notably, this album is quite a bit shorter than it's predecessor. One Be Lo's lyrics don't sound quite as personal this time around, nor is his word play any sharper. Also,..."

"This is only my second exposure to the up and coming Dutch producer Nicolay. If it weren't for Little Brother's Phonte teaming up with Nicolay on "The Foreign Exchange" album in 2004 (classic material), I would have never paid him any attention. Nicolay has one of the most diverse styles in the game..."

"I've been a fan of the Boston-bred Akrobatik since the day I heard him collaborate with Mr. Lif & Fakts-One on The Perceptionists' "Black Dialogue" album. The record is flawless in many ways and remains classic material in my book until this very day. It's been years since that gem dropped, and I've..."

"I had never heard about Grip Grand until yesterday. Since then I've spun this album 7 times, bought the CD, and will be following his career from this point on. Simply put, Grip Grand is an extraordinary talent in hip-hop today. Not only is he a very gifted songwriter, he also produces soundscapes o..."

"Bottom line... the album is a work of art. It has an old school style with a progressive mix of beats and solid lyrics. You can feel the effort that he put into this album. It's considerably different than his other works, but it's every bit as good. All these years later, he still sets a standa..."

"The much anticipated and hyped comeback album from Del the Funky Homosapien is a solid offering. Although fans that yearn for Del to return to the older styles he has become known for (sample heavy, complex, tripped out storytelling) may be a bit surprised. Del is evolving and making a concerted ef..."

"This may be the most forgettable album I've heard yet this year. The beats are average at best. And Del can't write a hook to save his life. The lyrical content is well below average. Nothing about this disc grabs your attention. 8 years and this is what we get? Behold! Del's first weak album!..."

Then with the additions Abstract Rude baritone voice provides a very smooth flowing relaxed feel. These relaxed moments are perfect for Abs free flowing lyrical dynamism as in "My experien..."

"Simply amazing album! Intelligent lyrics that lead to thought provoking imagery of the pressures African-Americans deal with in the United States, issues on relationships, stream of consciousness raps, and braggadocio. All along with wicked rhyme schemes and a various lyrical rhythm changes over ja..."
