::John Tsunam - Not too intelligent, But extremely resourcedful EP (Self-Released) With a machine gun delivery, it would be easy to pass Johnny off as all style, but he proves with this release, it's a lot more than just delivery.

::Typical Cats - "Easy Cause It Is" 12" (Galapagos4) The first single from the upcoming LP, Civil Service shows a different side to the Chicago group. A little more mature and the lyrics and production a little darker. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED "Easy Cause It Is" MP3 "Justice Coming" MP3 "Butterfly Knives" MP3
::Uncommon Records - Sampler EP
::The Presence - Member's Only EP
|
::Shambhala - The Lotus Of... LP (199 Records) I'm really enjoying this album. Intricate, sweeping and organic, the production perfectly matches the agressively meditative and conscious lyrics. For fans of Dead Prez, the Fugees, K-OS, Jeru, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
::Arcane - Groundwork LP
::The Alchemist - 1st Infantry LP
|
::Mouse on Mars- Radical Connector LP (Thrill Jockey) The most developed and eclectic album to date from this super trio. Choppy beats, bounce around with a variety of vocal treatments overlaid. For fans of Funkstorung, the Notwist, Schneider TM, etc.

::Terms None - Terms and Conditions LP (Motion Recordings) After the first track, this mc really settles in with a comfortable flow. Not too abstract or literal, Terms held my attention throughout the whole disc. That's quite a feat.
::The Mole - WhirlWindWorld LP
::Time - Litterture LP (dirtylaboratory)
|
::Truth Enola - 6 O'Clock Straight LP (Solid Records) It's been a long time coming, but his solo full-length is finally here. Raw and concious, Truth breaks it down to the production of Kutmaster Kurt,Beatminerz,Spinna,De La Soul,Celph-Titled,and many others. Phife and De La add some vocals.
::Outerspace - Blood and Ashes LP
::Grit City - Compilation
|
::Calamalka - Shredder's Dub (Plug Research) Swollen bass and beats collide in this dub tech, hazy sound. Could compare the sound to Red Snapper...
::Butch Cassidy Sound System - Butches Brew LP

::b.fleischmann & herbert weixelbaum present : Duo 505 (Morr Music) First brought together for a live performance at a street festival in Berlin, these different perspectives were joined by their love-hate relationship with their Grooveboxes (Roland's MC-505). One would produce an entire track, and the other would continue the next as an interpretation or partner to the last. So, each Duo 505 track is actually 2 tracks. You'd expect this to sound like a split album but they meld together for an entirely new sound. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

::Qwel and Maker - The Harvest LP (Galapagos4) Another G4 album you should just buy...it's straight forward, Qwel on the words, Maker on the beats. You should love them both, so putting them together is good. Album release August 17th. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
::7L and Esoteric - Bars of Death (Babygrande) |
::Main Flow - Hip Hopulation LP (Brick Records) A former member of the group "Mood", releases his first solo effort. Just looking at the list of guests, you should be able to tell the quality and scope of this work. Raekwon,Planet Asia,Talib Kweli,BlackThought,Hi-Tek,Defari,Mikah 9,7L&Eso,and Killah Priest all make their presence known.
::Insight - The Blast Radius LP |
::Theodore Unit - 718 LP (xxxx) Another Wu-Extension, with notable members Ghostface and Cappadonna, along with 5 lesser known mc's. Not the revelation of 36 Chambers or Liquid Swords, but still decent quality, nonetheless. Tracks recorded previously intended for the Pretty Toney album and guest verses by Meth and Bonecrusher round it out... ::Benyomen - Circles in Which We Walk 12" EP (lftb) A nice little diy treat from the Life For The Better member, Benyomen. "Isn't It Funny" shines with guests, Afcelfe and Offbeat critiquing the current state of the US. Very well done. Production by Afcelfe. | |||||||
| : July 2004 : | |||||||||
 ::The Butch Cassidy Sound System - Hear What I SAy 12" EP (Fenetik) An amazing EP of exclusive tracks from Michael Hunter's latest project. The LP Butch's Brew will be available in late August. The sounds range from dubbed out to stomping beats. A record that should be in the crates of every reggae, hip-hop or down tempo DJ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Click Here for an MP3 (718 kb) of the 1st Track, inspired by Junior Byles’ 70’s reggae classic ‘Fade Away'. |
::Goodie Mob - "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" LP + Bonus DVD (Koch Records) They've gained praise and fans for consistently defying mainstream ideals...but nonetheless, you'd think it might be time for The Mob to fall off. Hell, it's seems to happen to everyone else. Think again, Goodie Mob is back(even minus Cee-Lo)! No one can so easily combine personals diatribes and the party jams. Organized Noize on the beats, so no recycled breaks here! Click Here to View the video for "Play Your Flutes" |
::Guido Mobius - Klisten LP (klangkrieg) A member of the bands "blinker_inc" and "Hildeguard", produced this beautiful piece of work that is beyond description...full of soft organic electronics and unusual instruments. Post punk and free jazz influences abound...For fans of Tortoise, Daedelus, Mice Parade, Mouse on Mars, Etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ::Thought Breakers - Episode I LP (Ever Reviled Records) with songs ranging from socially concious to almost hilarious, the potention is here. The Mc's play nicely off each other, creating a nice pace throughout. For fans of both Extended Famm and Talib Kweli. Production by DJ Stealth and Bender ::Omni - Burgandy Brown LP (BLX Records) The 2nd solo LP from this member of Gershwin BLX...Straight up hip hop, appoligizing for nothing. A definite West Coast feel, production from too many to mention... | |||||||

::Babbletron - Mechanical Royalty LP (Embedded Music) Volatile and composed, mc's jaymanila and Clam Pete rip in completely different manners yet remain comfortable in the thunderdome of beats by DJ Pre. Maybe like CoFlow, Shadow Huntaz, Tes . Additional production by MF Doom. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
::Mestizo - LifeLikeMovie LP |
::Illogic / DJ Eyamme - Split 7" (Dove Ink!) Nice little record with the expected quality verses from Illogic and the beat. Jazzy instrumental of a different track from the same producer on the B side.

|
::Not For Nuthin - 12" (Embedded Music) This 12" includes one track with a collabo with Mr Complex (Polyrhythm Addicts) and the group is made up of E-Dot, Loer Velocity and Donnan Linkz.

::Diverse - One AM LP |
::Vast Aire - Look Mom...No Hands LP (Chocolate Industries) Vast Aire has his moments, but with the production coming from everywhere, the album never really comes together. A bunch of strong tracks, just a couple that could have been left out...
::Epic - Local Only LP
|
::Unauthordox - The EP LP (RedBalloon Records) With a run-on type flow, Dox keeps up and sounds convincing in his first formal release. And he has enough to say, keeping it pretty interesting...Mostly self-produced, but guest producers include the Orphan, Rob Viktum, and a remix by Nomar Slevik.

::Pilot Balloon - Ghastly Good Cheer LP (2.nd rec) From a haunted basement somewhere comes another incredible album from 2nd rec. Pilot Balloon, made up of KaeoFLUX and Judson MacRae, have created an invitation to the future of abstract hip-hop post rock jazz. Sorry I had to say that. Seldomly heard vocals by Kaeo and Stacs of Stamina. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Pilot Balloon - "Vampire Tonic" MP3

::Mercury Waters - Brushstrokes in Black Ink LP (Murky Waters Records) Impressive in the quality and direction of this release. Mercury Waters lays the intricate vocals over self-produced bump, a collision of hip hop, jungle, and broken beats. Recommended if you like Aesop Rock, Dizzee Rascal, plaguelanguage, etc Listen Here

::DJ DNA The Exploration EP |
::Northstar Bobby Digital Presents: LP (Koch Records) Discovered by RZA, this duo from Long Beach releases their first full length, after spots on the Wu's Killa Bees Comps, as well as the Ghost Dog Soundtrack.

::Antifiction Self-Titled LP |
::Nomar Slevik - Paper Bullets (An Album of Duets) LP
(Blueside Recordings) Nomar continues to be one of the most productive and experimental artists of independent hip-hop. With close to 20 guests, this album is veritable cornucopia of sound. Bizarre and Breath taking, guests include the Mole (of Motion Recordings), Gabe FM, Geneva B, Luke Geraty, Joe Rath and Jd Walker, to name a few. This album must be heard to be believed nomarslevik.com |

| ::Adventure Time - Dreams of Water Themes LP (Plug Research) Daedelus and Frosty (from Dublab.com) join forces to craft a wonderful downtempo album similar in sounds to Fila Brazilia or Fourtet...featuring vocals by Saul Williams, Pigeon John (of LA Symphony), and Mia doi Todd.
::DjEgadz thecardboardbox LP(Monotony Records) |
::Greenhouse Effect Life Sentences LP (Weightless Records) The first full-length from the Columbus trio of Blueprint, Inkwel and P-Dunbar (formerly Manifest) simply stated, is just plain dope. The 3 emcees build off one another seamlessly while still remaining unique on their own. Produced entirely by Blueprint, guest spots by Vast Aire, Illogic, and the Cryptic One.
::LFTB Compilation LP |
::Meaty Ogre - Leo Vs. Pisces LP(Galapagos 4) I don't know where to begin with this album, there is just too many good things. The production, the vocals, and the arrangement of the album as a whole. Every track is as complete as it could be, whether it's layered with Meaty's own vocals or the deep lineup of guests (including Inf Pwr, Qwel, Denizen Kane, Robust, Actual Fact, Rift Napalm, Offwhyte, and Mestizo) Truely (in my most distinguished voice) an album for the ages...so cheesy, but true. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |
|||||||
| : OCTOBER 2003 : | |||||||||
| ::Ms. John Soda - While Talking EP (Morr Music) A little more rock and less electronic sounding this time...Stefanie Bohm and Micha Acher of The Notwist once again create a wonderful tapestry of sound. Also, features a medley of their first album remixed by Anticon's Subtle. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
::Ensyght Quiet Nites LP(AlmaNegra Records) |
::Komadose Beta One LP (Gig City Records) A crew of 11 artists from Boston to Brooklyn make up Komadose. Agressive, abstract lyrics run head on into destructive beats. Listen:SpadeMega "Crave" prod. by KaeoFLUX : www.komadose.com/SpadeMega-Crave.rm |
::Dakah - Live: California Plaza 7/5/03Double LP(Kufala Recordings) A massive, 58 piece hip-hop orchestra, conducted and composed by Double G. Disc 1 is an interpretation of some of the best hip-hop acts to date (Gangstarr, The Roots) Disc 2 starts (and almost ends) with an epic (almost an hour) composition entitled, Reepus II In A Minor. A very talented pool of dj's, mc's and the more traditional musicians keeps this release interesting. Latin, Funk, Jazz and Psychedelia all influence this sound. |

| ::Royce - Subtleties of the Game LP (Galapagos 4) One of my favorite albums I've been sent this summer...a live hip-hop band of sorts. A huge range of styles, but never seaming incoherent. Mostly instrumental, but when the guy sings it sounds a lot like The Sea and Cake. Also, Qwel contributes lyrics to 2 tracks.
|
::Maker - Honestly LP (Birthwrite Records) An incredible debut LP from the producer, Maker. A little on the lo-fi side this album is about half instrumental, but you don't get bored. Fresh samples, layered high keep it moving nicely. Lyrics brought to you by Adeem, Qwel, Nacrobats, Josh Martinez, Thawfor, Lord 360, Gov Bolts and Sarcazm.
|
::Donna Regina - Late LP (Karaoke Kalk) A slow down electronic type album that is just simply beautiful. Saprse electronic twerks litter the compositions built around Regina Janssen's sublime voice. A bed time materpiece. |

| Monsta Island Czars are here. MF Doom and friends release the highly anticipated Escape From Monsta Island. Call it a bizarro Wu breed, just as sharp and more dangerous. No filler neither. Micranots' cassette-only, Return of The Travellahs is formally released, sounds like it could have been recorded next year, you should have this. Complete with the "So Deep" Remix. Also,Don't forget the new Mr.Dibb's 30th Song due out late March. Also, Nikoless Skratch & The Surgeon General-Turntable of Contents (Street Date: 3/25/03) Brother Ali-A Room with a view, Star Quality, Bitch Slap 12" [ prod. by Ant of Atmosphere](Street Date: 4/1/03) and full length soon |
Meanest Man Contest release their 1st LP. Merit is a beautiful piece of work. Quarterbar on the beats and Eriksolo on the vocals. A must-hear for abstract fans. The 2nd album from Soulo, entitled Man, the Manipulator questions more than it answers. But most of the time the answer's not what you wanted to hear anyways. Good staring at the wall type music. To steal from the press release, "Soulo stands singular. You can reach for days trying to glue them to comparisons: dots connect the glacial crescendos of Sigur Ros, cosmic rock of the Flaming Lips, and the hyper eclecticism of the Beta Band; but these are only dots." It's true. After releasing the truly inventive, Invention by Daedelus, PR has released a nice little Super Single/EP, Quiet Party complete with Madlib and High Priest Remixes, as well as an unreleased jem featuring the Busdriver and Abrude. Don't miss out. |
Nomar Slevik has released quite an impressive album called "purple lights & april foolishness" with guest slots filled by jdWalker, the mole, and the Dreadnots. You should just listen to it. His new album is called Paper Bullets, which is comprised of duets between nomar and a bunch of other people, including the mole, Joe Rath, Demune, Dreadnots, Brzowski, Sontiago, phlegm, Node, Kthei???, Luke Geraty, and more. Listen to Nomar Slevik here
The CD-R Album king, Joe Rath has struck again. Complete wih his ransom note style collage covers, and lovesickened lyrics, Joe vows to never rap again. Look out for the new interview. Most definitely the strongest production backing to date. Beats handled by Rorschach and Poor Richard.
