Reviews
Katalyst: Deep Impressions
"I'd market Deep Impressions as your party friend and protector."
Evidence: Cats & Dogs
Few albums go to such extraordinary lengths to please the listener as Evidence's brilliant new album.
Ovall: Heart Fever EP
There is that trademark abstract output we've come to expect from Ovall
Roots Manuva: 4Everevolution
"If you're a diehard Manuva fan, you'll have fun with this one."
Jehst: The Dragon From An Ordinary Family
"The man has lost absolutely none of his ability to paint a picture with his words."
Push T: Fear of God
The Little brother of Clipse, Thornton, is back for the first time with his long awaited solo mixtape, Fear of God.
Embee: The Mellow Turning Moment
"The Mellow Turning Moment is probably Embee’s furthest venture from his musical starting point to date."
Slum Village: Fantastic Vol 2
Slum Village's and some might argue J Dilla's finest piece of work
Oskar Linnros – Vilja Bli
Oskar Linnros has made an album set to take him on a transition from Swedish hiphop’s melodic poster child to a celebrated pop singer
Madlib: Medicine Show Vol.6—The Brain Wreck Show
It’s been right in plain view during 2010: no musicians can do what Madlib is currently doing.
