Soul Position - Things Go Better With RJ and AL [2006]

Although this album did not get the critical acclaim that came to Soul Position's first album (8 Million Stories, ill get that one to you later) there is something to be said for this album. RJD2 does his thing on the beats, and they bump hard. Blueprint does pretty well on the vocals, nothing amazing, but he holds it down.

1. The Beginning 
2. No Gimmicks 
3. Hand-Me-Downs 
4. The Extra Mile 
5. Blame It On The Jager 
6. I Need My Minutes 
7. Keep It Hot For Daddy 
8. I'm Free 
9. Keys 
10. The Cool Thing To Do 
11. Priceless 
12. Drugs, Sex, Alcohol, Rock-N-Roll 
13. Things Go Better

Hail Mary Mallon - Are You Gonna Eat That?

Hail Mary Mallon is a hip hop supergroup consisting of Rob Sonic, DJ Big Wiz, and Aesop Rock. All of them kill it on this album, and with signature Aesop style, almost every line on the album leaves you thinking, "what the hell?"  However, it's in a good way, not like how you would say, "what the hell?" after Lil' Wayne rhymes the same word 4 times in a row. The question is, Are You Gonna Listen To It?

1. Church Pants 
2. Garfield 
3. Grubstake 
4. Meter Feeder

6. The Poconos 
7. Breakdance Beach

Grieves - Together/Apart [2011]

From Rhymesayers:
"Together/Apart is the highly anticipated Rhymesayers debut album fromGrieves coming June 21st, 2011. Teaming up with longtime friend and producerBudo, Together/Apart is an album infused with soulful horns, keys, and guitar. Lyrically, the album encompasses both the difficulties and joys of maintaining professional and personal relationships when on the road and back at home."


I've personally been waiting for this album since the announcement of the album, so its been a while. A quick listen through quickly told me that it delivers in full. My only gripe about this album is that pretty much every song sounds the same. Its kind of like the TV show house, it follows a formula, and you know what's coming, but its still a good use of time. check it out


Tracklist:
01. Lightspeed
02. Bloody Poetry
03. Falling From You
04. On The Rocks
05. Sunny Side Of Hell

08. Pressure Cracks
09. No Matter What
10. Vice Grip
