Born Ruffians "Say it "

Born Ruffians have been one of my guilty pleasures for sometime. They have their own sound something like on the verge of country pop crossed with dance rock. This new album is more Ruffian goodness, I have to say their sound has matured in this Album with the lead howling less and the sound more honed in to a clean while still having some of that playfulness that I enjoyed from the 1st album. 

Mr.Focus "Laser Vision" Mixtape

Today I listened to this Mixtape and was rocking it all day. The lyrics are boss and the the productions work the trunk tight. Its all original stuff and all good to the ear. Its not street heavy so you feel more like bobbing you head as opposed to capping a bitch. Take a listen

Kanye West "G.O.O.D. ass mixtape" mixtape

Kanye West comes off this week pushing a mixtape that got the works. Kanye is no stranger to productions and setting up original backdrops and hooks so its no surprise that you get good on what thumps in the back. The Spitting is on point as always with guest rappers stepping in for a few bars.The album isn't a focused beam with clean tracks that cut to the bone.What we get is a machine gun spray of awesomeness, You got club tracks ,trunk thumpers, and gutter mean muggin shit. If you don't got the ears to take in Variety then step off  but I recommend you sloth through the tracks that don't vibe with you cause the ones that do are worth it.

Hypernova " through the chaos"

This is the second album released by these guys and I must say its phenomenal. 1st off the lyrics are catchy,memorable, and meaningful  ranging on topics like love and peace but without the hippie pretentiousness. The delivery is done in a close to monotone like style as if Interpol played on happy pills and went for energetic dance rock. Its an awesome album all around one I highly recommend.

Harlem Shakes "technicolor"

I've head these guys on my Itouch for quite sometime. The sound is good and varied but what really caught my attention was the lyrics and the vocals. The lyrics get you going on a good step and the vocals remind me of a favorite band The Born Ruffians  in terms of delivery. Speaking of Born Ruffians they came out with an album this year so I'm looking forward to that along with Interpol and Cut Copy.

H2-O "Reset" mixtape

I guess Karma stepped in and gave me a breather. Last post I did a relatively short awkward review on "Black Hitler" a wholly awful experience. H2-O is refreshing and done well. I enjoyed most of the tracks and its a nice delivery. My only gist is the whole "dissing other artist to claim I'm the best" motif in some tracks personally I don't feel its creative since many artist do it and few do it well. Anyway here's the link and enjoy
