Download: Full Blast Movement - "High Volume"

FULL BLAST!!!!!! The movement is here and they dropped a 16 track project on you like it ain't nothing. The album showcases various different styles from the Full Blast affiliates plus verses from Vast Aire, Bizarre of D12, Billy Danze of M.O.P., Cappadonna of Wu-Tang, and a few other talented CT natives so there's practically something here for everyone. Anytime these cats get together in a project like this, it feels like it's their All-Star Game. I sense a lot of friendly competition here as they bring their A game to the studio on this one. Don't believe me? Check for yourself. Peep it and make sure you cop the download. They also have CDs on deck. Just hit them up online.

Download: CenTinels - "In No Uncertain Terms"

Check out the latest from a couple of emcees that joined forces to form their duo called CenTinels in this refreshingly semi-throwback sounding album full of dope Hip-Hop elements. With a couple of features in 5:am, Seme Rock with the beatboxing, and DJ Mo Niklz on the cuts, Expertiz and Cre808 deliver such a fun to love and easy to put on repeat type of project that you have no choice but to support. The album is a "name your price" but I urge you to throw a couple of duckets their way for helping bring you some of that Hip-Hop you may have been missing. Check it out.

Check It ... Enter The Cypher - 5th Year Anniversary (Pics & Vids)

Enter The Cypher celebrated it's 5th year anniversary last week with an amazing line up of some of Connecticut's Hip-Hop acts. Once again, Cousin Larry's in Danbury, CT held the event, which is scheduled every 3rd Friday of the month, at its local yet eccentrically decorated bar.

Every Enter The Cypher starts off with anyone willing to freestyle on the mic for the crowd. The usual mainstays participated giving the crowd an appetizer before the main course was served.

As the night went on, so did the acts. Performing song after song, the crowd remained entertained and energetic and you can tell from the performances that the artists fed from that just as well. Othello and Nemesis Alpha did a great job hosting the event bringing a bit of a comedy and Hip-Hop mix introducing the acts as they went on.

EVENT: Enter The Cypher's 5th Annual Anniversary

I've been to a bunch of these ETC shows. Always a good time there. The people are friendly, cool. Everyone has a good time. New fans are made. Good music all around. I hope you can make it. Connecticut, let's show 'em how we can support.

Check It ... Expertiz - "Before Life Concludes" (prod. by Dirt E. Dutch)

Dopeness. Antfarm Affliates continue to supply us with some dope Hip-Hop. Check it and leave your thoughts.

The Bridgeport Brawler Releases the Dirt E. Dutch Produced Single Off His Debut Album.

Album:
Balance, depth and intensity are at the core of the debut release from Expertiz, Disrupting Nature’s Balance. The 22 tracks move effortlessly throughout, each standing on it’s own as a separate pieces of a complex poetic puzzle. These ideas and concepts are his alone and shun the languid conventions of “radio” hip-hop. Expertiz wears his heart on his sleeve while lacing paragraphs littered with density throughout the project. Whether spitting fire like that found on “Let’s Be Clear” questioning Darwinism as found on “Weave Through Worlds” or looking within himself to find answers such as “Before Life Concludes”, the album has something for all avid listeners of classic hip-hop. With production by some of Connecticut’s finest producers, including Deto-22, Dirt E. Dutch, and Defnyshn, the music serves as a perfect compliment to the array of lyrics shown by the host emcee. Guest appearances include Hawl Digg of Workforce, Roc Doogie of Phenetiks, Rising Sun Quest and Breez Evahflowin.

Background:
Coming straight out of Connecticut’s much heralded super-group the AntFarm Affiliates, comes Expertiz, with his debut album Disrupting Natures Balance. Expertiz has crafted this opus with precision, leaving no stone unturned as he troops through the jagged terrain on a landscape that only he could present. The anticipated release represents the culmination of years’ worth of sacrifice and commitment to excellence from this up and coming emcee. Expertiz is a one man army on a mission. Merciless on the mic, he has spent over a decade constructing an arsenal of creative and intelligent lyrics summoning scientific images, unconventional historical episodes, cultural commentary and an oral attack on a flurry of unsuspecting victims. With unyielding verbal skills, it may be surprising to note that this seed was planted in Bridgeport, CT, a working-class city an hour north of New York City. Though residing a relatively short distance away, the influence of New York City is evident when listening to DNB. Expertiz is driven by love for hip hop. Unsatisfied with the current state of hip hop and driven by a passion for the genre and culture has been the stimulus for creating DNB. His songs have been featured on mix tapes and local compilations and the word is beginning to spread within Connecticut hip hop circles, a buzz that is certainly welcome.
