Whoa! New Swollen Members?!?! Say it’s so…and apparently it is.Prevail, Madchild, and Rob The Viking are apparently making new music again, and that’s a breath of fresh air. I loved these guys when they were at their zenith. Balance is in my mind a classic album. I know others will disagree but that was a game changer when it dropped in 1999.
Let us hope that there is new music in store for the listener in the future.
I just caught wind of this new release from emcees Obnoxious and Madchild, entitled, Mobsters & Monsters. This video is older in the blogging game and I should have caught onto it sooner, but this joint is really tough and the album was released about a month and a half ago so I am sharing now. Lots of dope bars in this one.
Swollen Members are back together and making music. This is good news for hip hop fans. There are few emcees that have developed the chemistry that is exhibited between MadChild and Prevail. Aspect is on the production.
I am pretty sure there is a new album in the works, and we will bring you more information as we receive it.
Another video single from producer Rawmatik’s album, The States vs. Rawmatik. You’ve got a couple of dope emcees in Merkules and U.G., riding a beat where Rawmatik sounds like he is rocking some Phantom Of The Opera type shit, and I am definitely good with that. Madchild takes care of the chorus.
Be sure to check out the album!
New video from Madchild’s forthcoming album, Silver Tongue Devil, which also serves as an introduction to the newest member of the Battle Axe family, Demrick. Madchild drops tha demented lyricism and Demrick has a very straight forward and heavy flow. C-Lance on the production.
Slaine’s new album, The King Of Everything Else, dropped today and I have to tell you that it’s the best music he’s put out in a while. I really enjoyed listening to each cut and the album as a whole. Bobby Be Real is an excellent joint to feature from the album that is brought to life in this video. TechN9ne and Madchild are invited on the cut to narrate part of Slaine’s nightmare. This is one of the better video productions I have seen in 2014. I strongly suggest that you listen to his album.
The Swollen Members realize that we all crave the ‘power’ and they deliver that message with a high energy track that hits with an impact. This is all a prelude to build the anticipation for their new album, Brand New Day. As an aside, I particularly like The Coup reference that Prevail uses in his verse for us old school heads.
A resurgent Swollen Members crew is about to set it off with another album, Brand New Day, in about a month. and though not a part of the project, this is just a little teaser of what to expect. I like the fact that DJ D-Rec got to mix it up on the track, giving this cut that little something extra to go from good to great. Prevail and Madchild are back mixing their Battle Axe wordplay and haven’t lost one step . So ‘keep the doors locked, and the dead bolts fastened’.
Madchild is taking no days off when it comes to releasing new music. A few months after releasing Lawnmower Man, the Swollen Members emcee, releases a video single for his upcoming album, Super Beast, which is due out later this year.
