(ESCAMA)

Now, this was an anticipated record. CRIMEAPPLE was my runner-up for ‘Most consistent artist of 2024’, and so he was on my radar to see how his career would go in the new year, and this is the first instalment, and so let’s talk about it! This time around, we have an 8-track project withContinue reading “(ESCAMA)”

(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)”

(F.L.A.W)

What defines a legend? I’m sure if you asked 100 people you’d get 100 different answers. But to me it’s when an artist can create something beyond amazing with consistency that others can’t. When a man or woman gains the respect of their peers with every new piece of art they release and to doContinue reading “(F.L.A.W)”

(Eucalyptus)

As someone who’s spent most of my life in Australia, this is the kind of album that makes me happy to cover! Although obviously this is regarding the pocket sampling app (Koala Sampler), it’s still a sick reference to the most native animal to Australia, so let’s get to it! This is the latest BeatContinue reading “(Eucalyptus)”

(The Happening)

Oh boy, let’s fucking go! Two of my favourite artists in the game right now together for a collaboration album of the decade. Umbrella Collectives own ‘Josiah The Gift’ alongside producer ‘Machacha’ and together they create an unstoppable force that no one can fuck with! This album is 11 tracks with 34 minutes and firstContinue reading “(The Happening)”

(WORD)

Ladies and Gentlemen, when I tell you that this is one of my most anticipated albums of the year, I fucking mean it. Last year, Maze had an untouched album run, so much so that I had to list him as my ‘Most Consistent Artist Of 2024’, and since then, he’s been featured on aContinue reading “(WORD)”

(More Than Memories: Prelude)

We’re back again! This time it’s the album by ‘Yo Pyro’ for a record I can only assume is the first of many sequels of a series based on the album title, but regardless, it’s 8 tracks long with 3 features on it, so let’s get to it! Let’s talk about production, because it hasContinue reading “(More Than Memories: Prelude)”

(Couldfellas)

I gotta be honest, it’s been a minute since I’ve even listened to a ‘supergroup’, let alone reviewed one. I think the last group I remember fucking with was ‘Army Of The Pharaohs’, so this is an exciting opportunity for me! So let’s talk about it! This is the second studio release by group ‘WiseContinue reading “(Couldfellas)”

(Sincero)

‘Perfect Piece Of Art’ has to be the best way possible to describe an album like this. As the intro states ‘To do each job so skillfully, so honestly that it’s like the perfect piece of art, sincere’ I wish I could have thought of a better intro myself but Louie beat me to it,Continue reading “(Sincero)”

(Forgotsies)

Time for a new EP release! This time around, it’s a collaboration album by rapper ‘Freddy Stone’ and producer ‘Oldboy’ with 5 songs and 8 minutes of heat to drop. Let’s talk about it! Firstly, the production has this old-timer quality to it that I really love. It’s like a combination of Classic Jazz/Lo Fi/90’sContinue reading “(Forgotsies)”
