Theory Hazit & Vintage – Lord Fire (2008) + Review

The dudes over at sphere of hiphop damn near gave this album a classic rating and looking at Theo’s past efforts I can certainly believe the hype. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet for myself but from what I know Theo (who’s a member of Scribbling Idiots… Braille, Omegha Watts, MotionPlus, Kaboose etc.) is capable of and from what works I’ve heard from producer Vintage, we might be calling this one of 08’s top 10 (for fans of Pharoahe Monch, Masta Ace, & Cunninlynguists). Check the review, d/l the album and if you like it, buy it here.

Got asked for some Qn5 a while back so I present you with Asterisk 4 (2007), Baby Blue For Pink EP (2008), & Extended F@mm’sHappy Fuck You Songs (2002). Even better, no RapidShare links this time (that’s Extended F@mm in the pic for the curious).

  

Masta Ace >

I guess I’ve been on a little bit of a Masta Ace binge lately. I had forgotten about how dope this dude was. Check out these two compilations from him. Volume 1 are a bunch of tracks from 1996-2000 and there are a couple B-sides thrown in as well. Volume 2 is different and features collaborations and mixtape tracks with the man himself.

O.C. – Word…Life: Re-Issue (1994)[Classic]

This album was majorly slept on when it originally dropped in 1994 and is still being slept on ’til this day. Of course 1994 was the year for classic hip-hop albums, so if you’re feeling that entire time period (especially for NY cats) this album is going to blow you away. I’ve posted 2 of my favorite tracks from the album, but you should def peep the grouprip I’ve posted as well. For fans of Black Moon, Masta Ace, D.I.T.C., and Kool G Rap. Word…life.

ches. spell my name right.

I’m gonna begin by posting one of my favorite albums from last year. Statik Selektah presents Spell My Name Right (The Album) suprised me to say the least. I didn’t know what to expect when I first listened to the album last November. I didn’t really know anything about Statik Selektah besides the mixtapes I had of his. I knew he worked with Premier, but besides that I didn’t know much. After listening to the album, he instantly became one of my favorite producers. The production from Statik Selektah is amazing, and the guest list is just as good. Continue reading for more albums (Senim Silla & Masta Ace) and the download links of course.
