Note:

I really want to close out 2013, but I can not do so without cranking out one more review for a very dope album.  The first thing heads will notice about the album Daes & Times is the production credits.  There are some heavyweight names creating beats for One Dae.  When listeners see names like Statik Selektah, Marco Polo, Analogic, Domingo, and M-Phazes, they are bound to pay attention.  But as the man, Mike Zoot once said “a wack rhymer can kill a raw beat”.  In this case the opposite is true: One Dae accentuates what these beatsmiths provide making this album memorable.

Single You Out: Ugly Heroes – Pay Attention

a1195398700_2

 

Off of the forthcoming Mello Music Group Compilation, Mandala Vol. 2, Today’s Mathematics, comes the first single from Ugly Heroes.  The crew is of course comprised of Verbal Kent, Red Pill, and Apollo Brown.  This is a stellar joint if my opinion counts for anything.  The sound is really an extension of their self-titled album from earlier this year.

“…some pay dues…I pay attention…”

The compilation drops on January 28th so save the date…

Some new freshness has been gift wrapped via Cool FD from Orleans, France.  You remember, Cool FD right?  We did this write up on him not that long ago?  Well he’s been back in the lab and he and Sdotkeen have been cooking up something delicious.  This is almost like getting taking to church on a Friday.  It’s a very soulful joint.  As for Sdotkeen, I am going to have to check for him some more because once he got started, he really held your attention with the gift.  Please partake!

Meta P – Animal (ft. Block McCloud and Fresh Jones) (Video)

Meta P gives the listeners something a little different with the track, Animal.  Initially you might think that he is dropping something “animalistic” on the mic or an “animal” in the streets.  But those tracks are a dime a dozen.  He delivers a track who’s content is about protecting animals, in particular pitbulls.  He spits about the topic from a lot of different perspectives.

His album, Evolution, is dropping on March 31st so stay tuned for that.
