ALBUM REVIEW: John Graham – Success In Retrograde
John Graham - The Ground Floor (prod. Kuddie Fresh)
Success In Retrograde is a 7 track EP from John Graham. The opening starts strongly with “The Ground Floor”, which encorporates a furiously fast BPM and a celebratory feel. It is most striking for it's sense of purpose and hunger which almost fly out from your speakers. John is making sure you pay attention to his lyrics which range from politics to the apocalypse. He knows how to flow and is showing off on this record by making it sound easy.
FREENESS: S.M.R.G. – Behold! (UK)
Cop the description below to find out more. This gem has been in my rotation for a little while now, so I had to share the dopeness.
"S.M.R.G was formed in august 2010 with 2 members and long time friends Superior Thought & OphQi. After knowing each other for almost 10 years & pursuing very separate musical ventures, the pair decided to join forces after ST agreed to produce OphQi's debut album "Taking The Piss" This quickly turned into the entire project being produced by ST and a Hip-Hop synergy like no other being formed
The debut album from S.M.R.G is finally here.
Simply listen and BEHOLD!"

FREENESS: Gee Wiz – The Wu-Fanatic
Fresh off the press the good brother Gee Wiz hits us with another selection of beats. All inspired by the work of? you guessed it, The Wu-Tang Clan. He doesn't miss a beat in paying homage to the clan who have been such a huge influence on him. So sit back relax and enjoy. As the homie 602Diggler would say... MUCH DAP!!

FREENESS: Beatsofreen & Medaforacle – Global Soul EP (Holland/US)
Beatsofreen (Netherlands) and Medaforacle (United States) present their EP ‘Global Soul’. Overall a good listen, although I feel the lyrical delivery occasionally doesn't match the production, however I've grown pretty fond of some of these beats over time. Props to Mr. Miranda for a dope appearance, he's been catching a lot of ears around here recently.

VIDEO: Rashid Hadee — Night Train (feat The Primeridian)
CLICK IMAGE TO WATCH VIDEO
What a great way to start the weekend! I just stumbled upon this video (err... I mean opened my inbox) and I had to share the goodness with you. Chicago-based MC/producer Rashid Hadee just released a brand-new video for Night Train, taken from his recent Leakage The PrEp, a great track featuring fellow Chicagoans Simeon Viltz and Racetac from The Primeridian. His verse is simply incredible and really blew me away. I may be a bit biased, considering my newly-found love for Chicago, but I find the visuals quite amazing and really appreciate the city by night approach. The video is courtesy of Dave Galaxie aka Thaione Davis, another very talented and multi-tasking Chicago-based artist who adds the necessary magic to make this video a work of art. Once again, images and lyrics match perfectly and it is always a pleasure for me to witness such a beautiful combination. As if I was not already dying to go back to the Windy City...
