-
Image
California production team The Inner Realmz back for their 7th beat tape. Founded by  Masta Cypher Devine  &  Goomson , they’ve been making waves in the west coast underground scene since the beginning of the current decade off their first 2 beat tapes  SP 1000  and  Build & Destroy followed by  Low End Wizards  as well as it’s sequel &  Digital Chains . Goomson so happened to team up with Broke for a collaborative beat tape  Heavy Wreck  displaying Broke’s talents behind the boards for Side A & of course Goomson on Side B except for Masta Cypher Devine doing the closer. Omnipotent masterfully selected & arranged jazz samples catching my attention, coming off Mass Collide to reform & teach the world Beat Maker Ethics . “Space & Time” spends the opening minutes drawing inspiration from 90s east coast boom bap/jazz rap reminiscent of a top 5 producer of mine Pete Rock whereas “The Math” works in an occasional vocal sample from the late Prodigy p...

“Songs of Samhain V: Outside of Heaven” Might Be the Most Mild Entry in Majik Ninja Entertainment’s Series of Halloween Compilations (Album Review)

-
Image
Here is the 7th showcase compilation from Detroit, Michigan underground hip hop label  Majik Ninja Entertainment . Founded by Twiztid  & their manager George Vlahakis in 2014 after departing from Psychopathic Records  only 2 years before, they quickly built an empire or their own from bringing a few other PSY alumni along for the ride to help introduce  G-Mo Skee  &  Alla Xul Elu to a much wider audience. The label’s first comp showing off their roster  Year of the Sword  has to be my personal favorite of the bunch thus far with all respect to Songs of Samhain  as well as the Attack of the Ninjas compilation &  Songs of Samhain 2: Haunted Record Player . However, they’re coming off  Cult of Night  & The Liminal Space  to describe the  Outside of Heaven . After the “Pumpkin Boy” intro, “Glow in the Dark” by Jamie Madrox  produced by DeadBoyGrim kicks things off with this trap opener talking about being crazy above intelligence whereas “Maybe I’m Dead” also by ...

Ras Kass is a 53 year old MC from Carson, California whose his full-length debut  Soul on Ice  under Priority Records celebrated its 30th anniversary at the beginning of the month. The father of both  Ras  &  Taj Austin  from  Coast Contra  would go on to drop 13 more studio LPs as well as 7 EPs & 8 mixtapes since, with the Mello Music Group-backed  Blasphemy produced by  Apollo Brown during my senior year of high school landing at my 2nd favorite in his discography. Coming off  Leopard Eats Face distributed by Soulspazm Records only 8 months ago, The Waterproof MC’s not looking to slow down with his 8th extended play . The title track kicks things off with a soulful boom bap intro produced by P.A. Dre talking about the authentic ones being ostracized whereas “Summer Jam” takes a more seductive route topically, wanting people to understand how beautiful this woman is. “Only You” goes for a crooning trap vibe instrumentally talking about more people needing to becom...
