MySpace

The Leak Edition Vol. 2 is the mastermind of label owner and Bronx & Far Rockaway resident artist, John Robinson. Having been in the music game professionally for roughly more than twelve years, the artist John Robinson, aka Lil' Sci has worked with the likes of Gil Scott Heron, Run DMC, KRS-One, Slick Rick, The Roots, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and and host of other legendary hip hop heads. It’s no wonder his CD The Leak Edition, Vol. 2 is a mastery of no holds bar licks and hard core hitting tracks. Cuts to check out such as The Visionary, Don’t Test, Action Flick and Makings Of U only solidify John Robinson as a force to be reckoned with and a testimony to his artistry and swagger that often comes with the rough rugged street style that is associated with so many rappers from the Queens bridge to the Boogie Down. For those who miss good old fashion hip hop, this is surely the ticket to ride.

John Robinson & MF Doom - Who Is This Man?

MySpace

Who Is This Man? In this case, the man is John Robinson. Formerly known as Lil Sci from Scienz of Life, a group who had put out records on Bobbito Garcia's Fondle 'Em imprint and Sub Verse Music in the late 90s and early 2000s. Robinson later went on to release his debut solo album I Am Not For Sale, followed by a collaborative effort called Lil Sci and Carlos Nino present What's The Science? After working with John on previous projects such as King Gheedorah and multiple Scienz of Life albums, MF Doom suggested they embark on a full-length concept album, to be executive produced by The Villain himself where Lil Sci would take on his government name, John Robinson. The result is Who Is This Man?, an incredible group of songs produced entirely by Doom, with DJ Rhetmatic of the World Famous Beat Junkies laying down all the cuts. The album was completed four years ago but due to complications it remained in limbo and unreleased. Fast forward to 2009 and the project has been picked up by the good folks at High Water Music and will finally get the official release it deserves. Who Is This Man? showcases Doom's diversity as a producer and contains arguably the best display of his talents from behind the boards since his debut album Doomsday. From the dark tone of "Black Gold" to the melodic love tale of "There She Goes", this album is filled with Doom's signature sound bites and production style. He also lends a verse to the album's closing track "Sorcerers." John Robinson shows incredible lyrical range throughout the album, like on "Indy 102" where he breaks down the indie Hip Hop grind or on the aforementioned "Black Gold" with its social commentary on the war for oil. Join John Robinson and MF Doom on this journey and see if you can figure out who this man really is...
