Rashad & Confidence
Rashad & Confidence Element Of Surprise Ill Adrenaline • 2011

A few months ago they were unknown to most, now they have this excellent debut and nothing less but the world of a music genre to conquer.

Th3ory Hazit
Th3ory Hazit Thr3e HumbleBeast • 2012

Theory Hazit constantly holds a mirror in front of society's face, pointing out quite rashly its evils and ignorance, even proclaiming the end of the world.

Senor Kaos
Senor Kaos The Kaos Effect High Water Music • 2011

This album shows the true face of Senor Kaos: a restless underground emcee (‘I never take a nap, not as long as the radio is playing crap’), full-time hustler (‘’to understand me, understand my hustle’), and all-round blogger.

Eligh & Amp Live
Eligh & Amp Live Therapy At 3 Legendary Music / Live Up • 2011

Both musicians, known for their progressive, innovative take on hip-hop, once again take hip-hop and guide it into the future. Hard to imagine this will sometimes be old school.

Us3
Us3 Lie, Cheat & Steal Us3.com • 2011

Coincidently the album was released in the aftermath of this summer’s street riots in Great-Britain, and therefore the album’s title alone sounds the more provocative, especially with Akala’s cockney raps.

Myka9
Myka9 Mykology SoundVise Records • 2011

This Fall is Fellowship time. 'Mykology' is an interesting solo album that strikingly reminds us of how great the Freestyle Fellowship movement really is.

Strange Fruit Project
Strange Fruit Project A Dreamer's Journey SR • 2011

A look at the titles of the Texas trio’s albums don’t leave too much up for your imagination. ‘From Divine’, ‘The Healing’ and now ‘A Dreamer’s Journey’ perfectly describe their almost spiritual music.

Murs
Murs Love & Rockets vol. 1: The Transformation Bluroc/DD172 • 2011

Murs spits heartfelt stories filled with hardcore feelings, sheer funmaking and a bit of the ol swag, from a simple yet strikingly realistic point-of-view over multiple subjects.

VA
VA Underground Overstood CD + DVD Alchemetric • 2011

The music is far from any of its participants’ greatest songs, but, hey, don’t expect a compilation to turn into a classic. Insightful and entertaining though.

Qwazaar & Batsauce
Qwazaar & Batsauce Bat Meets Blaine Galapagos4 • 2011

Qwazaar, from the sourly South of Chicago and MC of Typical Cats, and Batsauce, from Berlin and one part of The Smile Rays with Lady Daisy and Paten Locke, are hooking up together for the second time after ‘Style Be The King’ EP for this soulfunk sensation.
