REVIEW: IV The Polymath

.:ALBUM REVIEW: IV The Polymath - New Vs. Old

In the past few years, instrumental hip-hop albums have started to garner widespread attention. Previously, MCs used to seek out beat tapes to practice their rhymes or find producers for their albums. Nowadays, producers can release entire projects that don’t sound out of place without a rapper spitting over the tracks. This tradition of showcasing beats without rappers started back in the mid 90s with the help of artists such as DJ Shadow and his album “Endtroducing.” The latest release to come across my desk in this genre is IV the Polymath’s “New Vs Old.”

.:EVENT REVIEW: Idle Warship at the Key Club (Los Angeles)

In the City Of Angels, no matter what day of the week it is.. if you're a fan of any particular artist, chances are you'll be coming out to see them. In this case, this past Wednesday night was no different, as the Key Club became a fully packed house, waiting for Idle Warship artists Talib Kweli & Res (w/their band) to come out and jam for their fans.

Analog Architects - No one gets the prize

Analog Architects is a group from California. They dropped this album as a free download last year and its well worth the download! It's got enough to please everybody, its 22 tracks deep. Even though this is a mixtape its more of a album as they use all their own beats apart from one track which is a remix of a Nas track. The above preview tracks are my four favourite tracks on the album. You can download the album below and find out more about them too. If you like what you hear or don't like what you hear drop a comment in the comment box, let us know what ya'll thinking!

it would be cool if you could have a contest for producers to work with a group or an artist to collaborate on a mixtape or an album. It would really help connect the music world better/

Funny you mentioned that, as we’ve had something similar cooking behind close doors for the last couple of months.

Will share it once ready. ;)
