The Latest Round of Music Ala Mailbox brought 2 Standouts:
DJ Egadz : Monotony Amir : Album Sampler
Instrumental hip-hop just got a lot more melodic. In the vein of Nobody and DJ Shadow, Egadz creates delicately layered compositions with plenty of drums.

Amir's 'My Life Is Done' could be the huge crossover hit for 2003. Who Knows. It helps that Dj Quik's latest freshness is backing him. Erick Sermon's on there too.

Escape Artists : Plot Against Theme LP Ramjac : 002 EP Motion Recordings : 2002 Compilation Fez Dispenser : S/T LP
With guest spots from 2Mex, AwolOne and TommyV the expectations were high with this release.

No dissappointments here.
Xczircles handles the bulk of the production, keeping the beats haunted with an undeniable bump.

these broken beats and bass stabs thrive on the bare essentials .....

You won't believe how good simplicity can be.

RMJC are currently working on soul talent Natalie Gardiners debut EP

RAMJAC.ORG

running a record company like a lemonade stand, the Mole has been helping bedroom mcs release their work to the W.hole W.ide W.orld. And Cheap. Cd's run $6 each, 10/$50

The highlight of the comp is definitely the production work of the Mole. His inventiveness and curiousity shines through as he explores the range within HipHop

MOTION RECORDINGS

starting off as pretty standard ode to the NinjaTune beat hybrid sound, nothing jumped out as being very original.

But as I listen to this album again I start to question my own doubts about this album. "Lucky 14" is just woderful...oh shit,so is the next one!. OK, I take back everything I said. As soon as the sounds became less familiar, I really started to enjoy. But a couple of the first tracks shoulda been left off.

an unconventional delivery
bright and dusty production

don't let the title scare you
quality lo-fi goodness
interesting beats stray from
the standard patterns
thoughtful lyrics
upcoming LP "the 26th...causes and effects"
almost sample-free production
consistency the same
grows a little monotonous
the potential is there
especially with the lyrics
continuing in the lines of the WestCoast Legends before them Gershwin BLX brings a solid project that may not be recommended if you're claustrophobic In true battle royale style these mc's surround and suffocate
