“The Candle Always Burns (feat. Imarri)” by LT (Rap Artist from Georgia(GA))

"The Candle Always Burns (feat. Imarri)" by LT is a very creative, uplifting hip-hop album. Reflecting many of the vintage aspects of hip-hop music, these primarily beat-driven tunes contain articulate, flowing rhymes and well-sung choruses. The title –track demonstrates LT's creative approach to hip-hop, with its groovy percussion, positive poetic lyrics, and beautifully arranged female accompanying vocals. Moreover, "U Can Change (Feat. Imarri)" includes more musical hooks and leads, flaunting a very contagious bass groove and witty background sounds. Furthermore, stripped-down acapella versions of both of these tunes are included in this four-song EP. Fans of innovative hip-hop with thoughtful lyrics will enjoy this collection.

"The Introduction of Mau Fatt the Rotgut" by Etare Neged (Hip-Hop Artist from Illinois(IL))

"The Introduction of Mau Fatt the Rotgut" by Etare Neged is a new age hip-hop album chronicling one man's journey through a world of despair. With the fantastical concept comes a unique sound. There is a clear element of goth and horror present in the sound, although it is still a hip-hop album. A throaty vocal delivery and intense undertone add to the darkness and bring the sound full circle. Overall the album is an interesting experimental mix of hip-hop and darkness. Highlights include "You Made Me," with it's creepy bass line and intense vocal performance. "Space Disco (Remix)" features an eclectic arrangement, cool spacy sounds, intricate beats and tricky vocals. "The Gutwrenching Cyborg" takes the dramatics to the max and has nice flow in the vocals and cool effects. If you enjoy experimental Hip-Hop, give this CD a try. (WARNING! EXPLICIT LYRICS)
