(DøøF & ESCEE 2)

Another opportunity to discuss a dope underground duo! Two men I’ve never heard of until this point, but after this project, two who are bound to be on my radar from now on! Døøf & ESCEE are two MC’s who come together for a new 9-track project entirely produced by the legendary August Fanon, aContinue reading “(DøøF & ESCEE 2)”

(The Trauma Center P2)

Not even a full 24 hours since listening to the first one, and I was sitting in my room, in tears listening to track 11 and thinking to myself, ‘how could a project hit even harder than the first part?’ I honestly didn’t think it would be possible, but I can confirm not only doesContinue reading “(The Trauma Center P2)”

(Gentleman Caller)

It’s officially that time of the year again, Valentine’s Day! And although I may have just gotten my girl chocolates and a bear, Caos is back with yet another EP, and this time it’s for the ladies, so let’s talk about it!  So, this time around, it’s 6 songs with 21 minutes in length. ProductionContinue reading “(Gentleman Caller)”

(Satisfied Soul)

Let me tell you all something, back in the day. We’re talking a good 15 years ago, the world of ‘Underground Hip-Hop’ was a very different world than it is today. It wasn’t nearly as recognised or heard as it is now. Some could even make the argument that today’s underground is the new ‘mainstream’,Continue reading “(Satisfied Soul)”
