Signed copy of Section 80 can be seen on the left hand side…
Kendrick Lamar - Section 80: I've been listening to Kendrick for quite some time now, I thought his Self-Titled EP was crazy and I never thought he'd top it. To me, it was a modern day Illmatic - not in the sense that it was anywhere near that level. But in the sense that it was an artist breaking through with something fresh, slow and melodic like we hadn't heard. And yet it was a release that I never thought Kendrick could top either. He arguably proved me right on Overly Dedicated, which to me personally, was a solid release yet lacking the self-reflection that was apparent on his Self Titled EP. But this month, Kendrick Lamar has, in my views, dropped the album of the first half of the year. Incredible. Production is superb and suits his flow, yet he's always pushing the envelope. He's experimenting with his flows, taking styles from Bone Thugz yet dropping tracks with the same social commentary that would have been apparent in the 90's; namely with Tupac. To me, this is a great album that I've already purchased via iTunes, but now, have the signed copy too.
Y Society - Travel At Your Own Pace: Back in 2007, I caught wave of a track called 'Never Off (on & on), I thought the production was incredible, old-school feel and old school flows. Y Society are a duo, made up of Damu The Fudgemunk and Insight, who have both produced/been DJ's in the past… Insight handles most of the rhymes and the release was a truly remarkable one that caught me off guard… definitely came out of nowhere. I have Damu's Spare Time release that dropped a year later, but this remains my favourite that I've heard from either.
