Kooley High - Never Come Down (2018)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: March 30, 2018
||| Label: M.E.C.C.A. Records, Fat Beats Records
Третий LP Kooley High прибывает через 7 лет после "David Thompson". Важное возвращение коллектива из Северной Каролины началось с отличного видео-сингла "Ceiling". Альбом "Never Come Down" почтила своим присутствием и Rapsody, когда-то имевшая самое непосредственное отношение к Kooley High.
Description:
Kooley High has seen many acts come and go since their inception in 2008. This perseverance has led to several acclaimed releases, and the opportunity to craft their newest album with the assistance of Grammy award winning producer 9th Wonder.
'Never Come Down’ is a testament to Kooley’s growth sonically and serves as their most complete work to date. MC's Charlie Smarts and Tab-One have elevated their wordplay along with DJ Ill Digitz' scratch work. In house producers, Sinopsis and Foolery also show inspired progression on 'Never Come Down', which showcases production from 9th Wonder's production team, the Soul Council as well. Features on the album include Jamla Record’s own Rapsody, along with long time collaborators Median and Carlitta Durand.
Ten years after starting their journey in music, Kooley High comes full circle. This new album serves as a reminder to the world that even despite the current climate you should evolve, stay true to yourself, and Never Come Down.

Jean Grae & Quelle Chris - Everything's Fine (2018)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: March 30, 2018
||| Label: Mello Music Group
||| Produced by: Jean Grae & Quelle Chris
Это правда, что Quelle Chris давно уже никто не нужен кроме своих тараканов, но от коллабо с Jean Grae отказались бы не многие, тем более с Jean Grae, которая решила вернуться в строй после 10 лет дуракаваляния (в отношении музыки это правда). Сольного альбома Jean мы так и не дождались, но её появление на MMG - неплохая компенсация, тем более с Quelle Chris, который всегда в хорошей форме. Ещё интересно, что делает актёр Ник Офферман на 13 треке.
Description:
When you hear the phrase, “everything’s fine,” we immediately understand it as emotional shorthand. In daily life, we depend on those perfunctory clichés (hope all is well, good to hear from you, etc.) to spare ourselves from the psychological unpacking that the truth requires. For that, there’s art. For that, there’s Everything’s Fine from Jean Grae and Quelle Chris, a jagged, acerbic odyssey that brilliantly riffs on this dystopian zeitgeist.
The thing is, anyone without a lobotomy and a toxic red hat understands that things are definitely not fine. The crush of modern anxiety, the late capitalist scramble to survive, and the brain warp rot of social media has left most of us half crazy.
“We have a dickhead for a president, and before our eyes, racial, religious, and sexual identity rights are moving backwards,” says New York’s (by way of Detroit) Quelle Chris. “Money is still a thing (I’m waiting for Star Trek life to start). There’s war, your kids may be sick, but if someone randomly asks "how's it going?" most people will say "fine."
Released on Mello Music Group, this album replaces that reflexive cliché with honest and eloquent tangents. It’s specific and subtle in its execution, achieving equilibrium between lackadaisical detours to smell the flowers and the frantic acknowledgement that there’s an inferno raging outside.
If the great political albums are often grim polemics, Everything’s Fine achieves its goals partially through withering satire. See the opening skit, a Prince Paul-style game show in which three contestants (including a futuristic robot) numbly croak that everyone’s fine despite flying high on every imaginable drug, crying themselves to sleep at night and being unemployed for a decade and a half despite having a Master’s in Fine Arts. I promise it’s much funnier than it reads off a screen.
“We’re both perfectionists in different ways,” Jean Grae describes their working relationship. “We both see huge pictures and concepts. So while listening, pay attention to the subtleties, the nuances, the dissonance and the harmony. The conversations and pieces of ourselves in the words, the flows, the beats. All of the open spaces. .Be uncomfortable and be okay with that. Be layered and be okay with that. Be angry and be okay.”
It’s rare to find a record where two rappers are so seamlessly intertwined. Yes, that’s partially a by-product of the teamwork that goes into being in any normal relationship where you wake, sleep, and dream together. But the album also bears the hallmarks of two singular creative geniuses trading bars, collaborating on beats, and combining fun with internal therapy and external observations. It features indelible cameos from Denmark Vessey, Grammy Award winner Anna Wise, Your Old Droog and Big Tone, as well as comics Ashok “Dap” Kondabolu, Michael Che, Nick Offerman, and Hannibal Burress.
In the streaming era, we tend to naturally overlook albums that require multiple listens. This is a record that will grab you on first listen, but it’s greatness only reveals itself through its careful construction, slick wordplay, and esoteric allusions.
On “Zero,” Jean artfully references Rachmaninoff and The Donner Party in the first two bars. With “Scoop A Dirt,” she name-drops the Babadook alongside the truth bomb that Friends was little more than a whitewashed rip off off Living Single. Meanwhile, Quelle balances boasts about bags of cash the size of Chris Christie with poignant existential laments. Somewhere in between, Jean will stealthily slip in jewels like, “it took me until my 30s just to put my finger on it, once you accept the knowledge/solace doesn’t follow/honest.”
It’s a record with only a couple antecedents: De La Soul is Dead, Organized Konfusion’s Stress: The Extinction Agenda, Blackstar, and maybe Cannibal Ox’s Cold Vein. Yet it doesn't sound remotely like any of them. It’s spontaneous and free, yet refined and meticulous. Even if everything is abject, it’s a reminder that music can transcend.
“This album is full of our minds. Our hearts. Our love for production, and words. flow and a lot of musicality,” Jeans says. “We don’t approach topics, issues, writing, or making beats in the same way. I’m harsh, blunt, quick, technical, I arrange classically and play more than I sample. I make joints with 80 tracks. I’m layers upon layers upon layers. Quelle is patient, he’s kinder. More loose and minimalistic. He makes sounds work together that shouldn’t fucking work. How? I have no idea. These are dreams within dreams.”

Sivion - Dark Side of the Cocoon (2017)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: October 6, 2017
||| Label: Illect Recordings
||| Produced by: Sebastian Hochstein
В конце 2017 Sivion выпустил короткометражный альбом "Dark Side of the Cocoon", на котором ему аккомпанировал немец Sebastian Hochstein, известный по работе с группой Scribbling Idiots. Борьба и жизненные неудачи стали основными темами этого опуса ветерана христианского рэпа, а европеец, потрудившейся над атмосферой, заслужил свою, инструментальную часть альбома.
Description:
Sivion's "Dark Side Of The Cocoon" is a record about struggle, uncertainty, failure, pain, and redemption. The overarching theme is "love" as seen through the lens of growth and patience developed from adversity and challenge. Sivion brings passionate words with soulful melodies to the organic, fluid, and emotionally-charged music compositions of European beat-smith, Sebastian Hochstein of the crew, Scribbling Idiots. What results, is a heartfelt collection of works that display transparency at a level not previously seen by Sivion. The door is open, waiting for you to accept the invitation to come in.
"Though the butterfly lives a life of absolute freedom and beauty, the caterpillar enters the darkness of the cocoon faithfully holding onto the hope of attaining this same freedom. And so, each of us must enter the darkness of our own cocoon..." - Sivion

Chuck Strangers - Consumers Park (2018)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: Mar 16, 2018
||| Label: Nature Sounds, Pro Era Records
||| Produced by: Chuck Strangers, Animoss, The Alchemist
Очередной участник Pro Era в одиночном плавании, рэпующий продюсер Chuck Strangers обзавёлся первым сольным альбомом, который он готовил несколько лет.
Description:
Pro Era's Chuck Strangers has officially released Consumers Park, an album that took him four long years to create.
Checking in at a hearty 14 tracks, Consumers Park is produced almost entirely by Strangers himself and includes features from Issa Gold and his Pro Era comrades, Joey Bada$$ and Kirk Knight. The Bada$$ feature is called "Style Wars," and it's the third track on the new project. On the song, Strangers delivers a pretty strong verse for folks who may have doubted his pen game.
"My flow is as pure as your daughter on her way to kindergarten/Now the conflicts is starting, and everybody watching/Plus your desire to be popping/Could have the illest nigga out here weighing his options," he spits on the track, referencing his own internal struggle with straying away from conformity.
Speaking With XXL, Strangers revealed that his debut rap album is pretty much a snapshot of his early 20s. "If you were listening, on 'Fresh' I'm 21 and on 'Style Wars' I'm 24. [Laughs]," reveals Strangers, who's been known more for his production skills than his prowess behind the mic. "[On 'Fresh'] I'm 21 with no court dates, but then on 'Style Wars' I'm 24 years old, you know?"

||| Produced by: Black Milk, MNDSGN, Exile, Preme

Место и время предопределили дальнейшую судьбу дуэта MED и Guilty Simpson записали множество совместных треков, но лишь в 2018 году созрели для совместного альбома, и то маленького, что впрочем никак не умоляет знаменательности события. Близкие по духу легенды андеграунда из Лос-Анджелеса и Детройта на одном релизе.
Description:
J Dilla's protege Guilty Simpson first collaborated with Madlib's protege MED on the hard hitting 'Jungle Love' track off J Dilla's 'The Shining' LP. They continued to reunite on several tracks after and now offer us the Loyalty EP.

Выпускать сиквелы своих старых альбомов всё ещё модно, вот и Fredro Starr продолжает историю дебютного сольника 17-летней давности и наконец спускает на воду "Firestarr 2". Альбом был запланирован несколько лет назад, ещё во времена "Made In The Streets" (2014).

||| Category: Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul

||| Produced by: August Greene
Творческий союз Common, Karriem Riggins и Robert Glasper оформился в супер-группу August Greene в начале этого года, первый одноимённый альбом не заставил себя долго ждать. Модель такого трио уже можно было оценить на самом позднем альбоме Common'а "Black America Again", вряд ли с 2016 года правила сильно изменились - любителям истого рэпа, возможно, будет трудно, ну а в том, что музыка на альбоме высшей пробу, нет никаких сомнений.

Calvin Valentine - Plush Seats (2018)
||| Category: Instrumental
||| Release Date: March 9, 2018
||| Label: Mello Music Group
||| Produced by: Calvin Valentine
Новый человек на Mello Music Group, базирующийся в LA продюсер Calvin Valentine, который может петь и рэповать, но на его первом релизе с MMG пока только биты.
Имя парня, которого, кстати, раньше звали G_Force, не у всех на слуху, но он уже успел сделать немало интересных вещей для разных интересных людей. Например, он спродюсировал трек "Got It" для De La Soul и Nas. Весь инструментал прошлогоднего альбома "Home" поющего Illa J - тоже его рук дело. Valentine родом из Орегона, поэтому он уже поработал и с Braille, и с ILLmaculate, и даже с Sapient.
Конечно, "Plush Seats" не первый инструментальный релиз Calvin'а, но Mello Music Group - это уже не шутки, а музыкант, по всему видно, очень способный.
Description:
Plush Seats. Recline for a minute, spark a spliff, and savor the cozy luxury. Enjoy the foggy velvet majesty summoned by the new beat tape from the LA-by-way of Oregon singer, rapper, and producer known as Calvin Valentine.
In theory, these are merely instrumentals, but each is a self-contained narcotic universe. Novel strains invented from the finest hybrids of past and present. The genre tag on your iTunes reads “Bong Rips,” and conceivably, this is the chill soundtrack to the weed dispensary in your heart, mind, and favorite herbal habitat. You can detect the DNA of past originators, J Dilla and Madlib, Kanye West and The Heatmakerz, but it's more than just tapping into the best of this millennium. Valentine drills into the atavistic soul that made their beats so cold. A brilliant new recipe for donuts, another panacea to be hawked at the medicine show.
Making his Mello Music debut, Plush Seats heralds Valentine’s arrival as one of the most formidable and versatile producers of his generation. Of course, this isn’t his first rodeo. By his mid-20s, the precocious producer had already racked up a resume that could pass any certification exam, featuring collaborations with De La Soul, Nas, Bun B, Boogie, Juicy J, Illa J, Planet Asia, Fat Tony, and Devin The Dude.
Plush Seats follows Home, a gorgeous record that Valentine produced entirely for Illa J (brother of the late immortal, James Yancey), which Fader hailed as “a moving testimonial to the family and the power of community.” His previous album was Eugene, a full-length gumbo of celestial R&B, pop, and hip-hop that would you leave you rightfully believing that Valentine grew up eating Coney dogs in Detroit, rather than the bucolic countryside of Eugene, Oregon.
XXL raved about its trippy psychedelia. Uproxx called it the “smooth groove that your summer needs.” Okayplayer said that with Calvin Valentine, “the future of music is in good hands.” With Plush Seats, the future is now. It’s a work of supreme virtuosity, a stoned immaculate saga ideal for blunt cruises, impromptu cyphers, and meditative late night head nods.
It always starts with the drums. Valentine picked up the instrument at age 6 and the heartbeat is a constant oxygen-rich throb throughout the album. He creates his own pockets with the feel of an instinctive and intuitive musician. A song like the “Plush Intro” could be a sequel to “Dipset Anthem,” with concussive drums, filthy scratches and keys that conjure a conspiratorial mood. “76” reminds you of classic Wu-Tang, in which the RZA reanimated the ghosts from classic Stax Records, full of insistent and stabbing horn sections spitting out a warped extraterrestrial soul. Muscle Shoals on steroids.
If Donuts was the White Album of beat tapes, a cut like “Vanilla” uses it as ground zero for curious and funky explorations. “Another World” sounds like a burner the Hitmen would’ve made for The Lox in ‘98. “Starr” could be the theme for a sitcom on 2032 Alpha Centauri. On “Ras Trent,” “PCH,” and “Tabernacle,” you can hear the littoral reggae slink of The Gladiators, Dennis Brown, and Gregory Isaacs, chopped up and reimagined with fluorescent futuristic tones.
While “Mazel Tov” offers up a toast buoyed by old early 60s soul pre-Age and the synthesizers that sound dreamy and warm—an unrecognizable oldies anthem from a jukebox that only existed in a solitary dive bar in Conant Gardens. As the song fades out, a clip chimes in, “I’ve said unabashedly that a lot of the good ideas I‘ve had in my life, I owe to pot.”
Plush Seats is nothing but strong ideas and a smooth ride. Grimy but opulent. Smoked out but clear-headed. A vibe like no other.
