C-Rayz Walz – The Digi-Box (Video)

It’s ok for me to be bias, right?   Of course it is!  HHD is littered with my bias.  But one thing I can tell you as an unequivocal truth is that C-Rayz Walz is ill.   He is one of my favorite wordsmiths period.  He’s in the same league to me as Ras Kass and Chino XL as a lyricist and that’s the highest praise that I can pay the man.

The highest praise he could give me?  He just did in this video.  Throughout the song he pays his respects to various blogs and web venues that have shown him love and low and behold, HHD is on there!   It’s a great surprise and honor.

But on the merits of the video alone this deserves posting.  The artistic touches and the way he “embeds” his video on the various web locations is awesome. You can find this track off of his latest album, The Code.

Note:

Yeah, I am feeling this album from PremRock and Willie Green.  My first impression from the album was how well produced it was.  There is such diversity in rhythm, sound, and tempo that the album always had my attention which was of course helped by the fact there was only eleven tracks on the effort (which I like).  The album also flowed very well for being so diverse.

Kyle Rapps – On Air Mixtape (2011)

Artist: Kyle Rapps

Album: On Air Mixtape

Source:  Can’t Remember

Tracklisting:

1. Lost Message
2. Streets Move On
3. Universe Traveler (ft. Talib Kweli)
4. Angel
5. J’ai Dormi
6. Modular (ft. C-Rayz Walz)
7. Lost In Translation
8. Love Love 2  (ft. KRS-One & Homeboy Sandman)

Note:

This is my first time noting, Kyle Rapps musical efforts on this site.  I have previously listened to his other releases, Great and ReEdutainment, and while I think those were both good, I think On Air really takes a giant step forward.   I really enjoy listening to Kyle’s flow on this joint.  It’s slow and deliberate but still shows a lot of personality.  His lyrics are also very accessible and relate able.   There are a lot of dope guest shots but none of them really overshadow what Kyle Rapps has done with this project.

Note:

Yeah.  No…HELL YEAH!  As a big C-Rayz Walz fan, this release is exciting! It has been a long time since I have heard some new music from this ever talented emcee.  Not only that, but I feel this freebie may contain some of his best songs,…ever.   This bodes really well for his upcoming album.  Just a few weeks ago, Canibus, released the album that everyone knew he could make but was since missing from his discography.  Now I have the feeling that C-Rayz Walz himself may be on verge of that vaunted, yet elusive, classic album.
