Reks – This Is Me (feat. DJ Corbet)
Reks, an other dope rapper from Boston, recently released his latest album called R.E.K.S.(Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme). This track is one of the many great songs on this compilation. In overall, great productions & Reks has that good hiphop vibe going on through out the album. Been doing his thing for quite some time and also had the chance of collaborating with some of the biggest names in the game (The Clipse, Ghostface Killah, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Redman, De La Soul, Method Man, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Boot Camp Click). Make sure to check him out, he also has a dope song on the album featuring Freeway. gotta looooove it

Knux – Bang ! Bang !
Knux, from New Orleans, Louisiana, is best known for their alternative hip hop style mixed up with a bit of rock and electronic music. This track is considered one of the singles off their debut album called : Remind Me In 3 Days. Sure is a bit more energetic than Reks’ track. You can also easily recognize the influence of New Orleans on their style.

Rich Boy – Get To Poppin (Produced By Brian Kidd)
Don’t know if you quite remember, but Rich Boy was the shit back when this album dropped in 2007. You got a lot of good southside gems on this album. The infamous Throw Some D’s anthem was also part of that. Get To Poppin was one of my favorites. Let’s get it.

enjoy your Sunday,

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

·February 9, 2011 ·Hip Hop

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, both from Seattle, are 2 incredibly dope artists. Macklemore is the emcee of the duo. He’s been recently featured on Zion I’s album “Atomic Clock” on a track called Polarity, which was one of my favorite on the cd. He has a different and quite interesting flow. Seems like he’s telling you a story coming straight out of his guts. You can really feel the emotions flowing through his lyrics.

On the other end, Ryan Smith is a “jack of all trades” artist. He produces amazing beats but also does artistic stuff on the side. The sounds used for the instrumentals are different than your typical hip hop chords/snares. This EP (The VS. Re-Release) is worth your time, 7 originals & 7 remixes. Good Stuff.
