Dezmatic & Mr. Dibbs - Bigfoot's Dick

MySpace: Dezmatic

MySpace: Mr. Dibbs

Upstate New York rapper Dezmatic dropped a mighty fine debut, Behemoth, on the defunct Fingerprint Records, then disappeared.

Ain’t shit changed with Dezmatic though. He’s still raunchy and vicious with the bars and he’s back with a new mixtape featuring hip hop’s sucker punch break-cutting DJ Mr. Dibbs.

Big Foot’s Dick is not for the weak at heart or the politically correct. Recommended listeners should enjoy prank calls, sex on Camaro hoods and scratch routines with porno clips.

Kan Kick - Beautiful: Opus of LOVE, Deeper Than Flesh Vol.1 / Vol. 2

MySpace

Kankick has made a name for himself in the West Coast hip-hop scene alongside fellow Oxnard natives Madlib and Oh No, crafting laid back, smoky instrumentals, occasionally releasing an album with guest spots such as, "From Artz Unknown", in 2001.

"Beautiful: Opus of Love Deeper Than Flesh" continues Kankick's tradition of low-key loops and fuzzed-out jazziness. "Thursdays at the Good Life" rocks a lounge piano and background bells, "Black Women Candle Wax" uses a little static to augment the simple synth melody, and a river of bubbling crowd noise percolates under the mellow loop that powers "Continued Togetherness."

Piano figures heavy on "Beautiful," and some of Kankick's best work throughout the disc's 58 minutes is anchored on lilting, mid-range keywork ("NightTime Beauty," "Serenade the Outdoor Visitors," and what kind of sounds like an electric piano played in reverse on "OX Coming at Ya").

If you're looking to get your party started, "Opus of Love Deeper Than Flesh" might not be quite the right vehicle. But once the party's winding down, and you and your people are just settling in during the late night hours, it's the perfect accompaniment for slowly nodding your head and drifting into a daze on the couch.

Unbelievably they are still relatively unknown so I implore you to check this album out and all their free material on myspace and make sure you cop the Trapeze album because it's a classic!

Big Tone - The Drought

MySpace

Emerging from the Motor City underground, emcee Big Tone delivers an impressive debut, "The Drought." While consistently smooth and soulful throughout, it manages to be cool without being soft. Tone maintains enough edge to reinforce his rugged Detroit roots while spreading enough knowledge to please backpackers and college radio stations.

Tone touches on a multitude of topics, demonstrating his diversity as a lyricist, a refreshing change from the stale monotony of recent releases. From women ("Girl") to day-to-day life ("Real Life") to past memories ("Good Ole Days") to ending urban violence ("Peace"), Tone tackles one challenging subject after another. While his lyrical wordplay may not be as strong as others, they are genuine and believable. We have to give Tone credit for not taking the easy way out and spewing only braggadocio, which he does well by the way ("Watch Me").

The varying topics are glued together by the soundtrack. Heavy usage of sped-up samples and R&B vocalists mesh the album into one cohesive whole. Even Tone's measured delivery does little to deviate from the uniform sound. The Detroit soul drips from this album and makes it a winner from front-to-back. Sure, the downside is that at times the cuts sound alike and some would complain that the consistency makes the long player predictable and boring. You can't please everyone. For me personally, this album is perfect background music for low-key parties and trendy coffee shops. Not overly pretentious, not overly street. Another bonus is that Tone limits his cursing. Usually I have no problem with swearing on rap records, but after listening to such a tightly knit album, it's apparent how much more polished an emcee seems by not blurting out four-letters in every bar.

Master 3 - Light Up The Darkness

MySpace

Since the tender age of 3, Delbert Hunt III has been in love with music. He bounced from instrument to instrument, never really choosing which one to continue. He realized that the instrument he loved the most was the microphone, and he began writing rhymes in 6th grade. 7 years later, here he stands. His group with fellow Naperville rapper Sey, Suburban Eloquence, continues to make great music, going so far as to raise their own money to put their album, Revolution, on iTunes. Soon, Master 3 will drop his solo effort, Women & Music. In his own words, "women and music are all I ever cared about..." He vows that he will keep making music as long as he can... All he wants is for you to listen.
