Last week was a strong week for full length Hip-Hop projects. A lot of mainstream and indie folks used the last week of September to flex their musical strengths. While at the top of the pile, from a mainstream perspective, was J. Cole, there were strong projects from 9th Wonder, Phonte, J-Live and more.
Last week also saw the release of PremRock (emcee) and Willie Green's (producer) self titled album released by Isolated Wax Records. The New York based duo put together a strong cohesive project, with hard hitting production and dope rhymes. I've said before and I'll say again, the one emcee / one producer projects are my favorites and create such a fluency that is sometimes missed when too many producers are involved on a project. There is a musical chemistry between PremRock and Willie Green, in part because they are friends with a common vision who create a sound that is so in-sync.
I enjoyed their new project with features from C-Rayz Walz, Soul Khan, Has-Lo and Open Mike Eagle, with cuts from Baltimore's DJ Addikt. It's quality from beginning to end.
Support fresh Hip-Hop. Album available on Amazon and via iTunes. Chea!
