You know it’s going to be a good day when you wake up and spot a “5 out of 5” rating for an album that you took part in….What makes this occasion even better is that the person who wrote the review lives in a different country, doesn’t know me whatsoever on a personal level, and seems to be well versed in Hip Hop, past and present…
My only complaint is that CLAAA7 referred to me as a newcomer….I understand where he is coming from somewhat, but I’m far from “NEW TO THIS”…
1..I have been involved in all elements of this artform since I was a child (my father was in a mobile DJ unit crew in my formative years, so DJ’ing is in my blood)…
2..Over the years I have “put out” a wide array of mixtapes, remixes, productions, etc…
3..I’m a member of a few heavyweight crews that are DOWN BY LAW….Period. (NSZ/GFC/AYAK)…..
4..Hip Hop Battlefield has been up and running for nearly 7 years…Those years have included countless live mixes (BATTLEFIELD FUNK RADIO), interviews, and all types of action…
5…Even though some might be aware of me from the DJ/production side – I also have slayed many suckers with my rhymes…..Ask around, you might find out that my bars are dangerous as well cuzzo….
6…A few Hip Hop notables have rocked over my beats in the past…Go track that shit down if your halfway interested…
7..I could go on and on about my life long dedication to this artform, but that would seem as if I’m trying to pat myself on the back….Take a listen to the music, I’m quite sure you can tell it was made by someone who has studied the scrolls for a long period of time…
As far as the review goes that’s my only true gripe..Salute to you CLAAA7 for taking the time to go in-depth with our music it is appreciated to the fullest…..
Legendary, yet unfortunately often criminally underrated, emcee MF Grimm and relatively new-on-the-scene producer extraordinaire Drasar Monumental is back with “Golden Triangle”; the very limited vinyl only release of the sequel to last years slamming “Good Morning Vietnam”. In my original review of the aforesaid project I gave the 7 tracks EP a 4/5 rating, a rating which I still stand by, but the second installment in the series is even better in most every respect, and works as both a stand alone piece and as a complete back-to-back listen together with the first EP. On “Golden Triangle” the chemistry between Grimm and Drasar has been even more solidified into one of the most magnificent emcee/producer collaborations in recent memory; the music is more powerful and dynamic; the album’s metaphorical key themes have seriously been amplified and weaved into the music on a whole ‘nother level, through both powerful skits, samples and Grimm’s lyrics; and the running time and included tracks is almost twice as much amplifying the original EP into a full-blown LP.
