Note:

I make no secrets on this blog about the artists I am feeling.  And usually, the pattern repeats, as consistency appeals to me.  This brings us to the latest work by Boston artist, Rite Hook.  I have spoken to his appeal before but to recap previous posts, Rite Hook has great song making ability.    He is able to put intelligent and emotional music together.  He also has become a master at being able to construct dope hooks.  His dark crooning really ties his songs together.

Notes:  If you are not familiar with Gotham Green and DJ Quickie Mart then this is a perfect opportunity for you to do so.  Haze Diaries Vol. 3 features a full range of production, dope flows, and a good assortment of guest shots throughout.  Gotham Green continues to show his competency when he is confronted with a microphone.  He simply slays his verses.  The female vocalist, Jes Hudak, is also very noteworthy.  I rarely give credit when it comes to the vocalists on releases but she really makes the songs so much better when she comes on over the chorus.  I think in all there was one song I might skip over but that should not detract from the overall quality of the project.
