Grayskul "Deadlivers" Album Review
Grayskul Deadlivers some Good Hip-Hop
I brought this album a few months ago and I have been enjoying it a lot, it's full of dope ass rhymes and beats. But I recently brought Babbletron a few day ago and notice these Grayskul cats sound exactly like them. I'm not saying these guys are biting, I just notice a striking resemblance.
But nuff of that, Deadlivers is a nice CD. I like all the guest appearance on this album. Everyone holds their own while holding Grayskul down. The tracks that stand out to me are Action Figure Of Speech, Voltronic Instructional Espionage with Aesop Rock (a favorite track), Once Upon A Time, Do They Exist (another favorite), Cursive with Mr. Lif, Vixen, and Prom Quiz (the track that introduced me to Grayskul). The only track I was not feeling much was The Skul due to the chorus is some man yelling the hook over and over like a hard rock joint.
If you're into underground cats making a difference in this culture turn Pop, Grayskul is a refreshing CD to pick up. It's full of energy, tight flows, beats and guest appearances.

Gym Class Heroes "The Papercut Chronicles" Album Review
Gym Class Heroes worth the money
I'm not going to start by saying this album was refreshing, but do have to say it was very good or close to excellent. All in all this is a ablum has a unique sound to it and i could see myself listening to 4 or 5 years down the line.

Benjiman "Activate" Album Review
Top-notch quality
I got this album when it first came out in February 2005 and found it to be a high quality rap offering that had me listening to it quite often. It has energy and power, as well as good musical elements--both instrumentally and in the frequent sections where the lyrics are sung rather than rapped. I am a bit mystified why this album never took off in popularity. Two years have passed since this came out, and I haven't heard anything more from him, nor anything about him.
Some songs have heavy guitars, for more of a rapcore sound. "Outta Time" has heavy guitars and a sung chorus with full emotion. The second and third track sound so much like Tobymac, if I heard this somewhere not knowing what was playing, I'd think it was him--these have a great mix of rap and power pop singing. "Trace Of Love" has a moment of chord progressions in one bridge that is reminiscent of an Evanescence chord progression; the chorus of this song has deep, minor-key guitar power chords offering a rich sound, augmented by strings. "Upside Your Head" has stringed instruments doing a slow, 2-note kind of marching beat, with chimes coming in at intervals, giving this a kind of dark, gangsta rap kind of sound. The final song, "Lay It Down" also has the dark gangsta rap sound, but lacking the instrumental hooks of "Upside Your Head." "Know You" has a Latin acoustic guitar sound to it.
There is not a weak song on this album; every track is of top-notch. Don't let its lack of popularity cause you to ignore this excellent album.

KJ 52 "Behind the Musik" Album Review
I love this album =]
I've been a fan of KJ's since 7th Avenue, one of the more classic albums in the Gospel rap genre. Collaborations was entertaining as well, with a unique injection of comedy throughout.
Behind the Musik is a very good blend of the banging sound of 7th Avenue with the comedy of Collaborations. I'm a big fan of the result.
He is compared to Eminem more often than not, but this review is coming from one who has never listened to Eminem (aside from that hit that was played 100000000 times on the radio). That said, I think that KJ is a VERY welcome addition to the often-lackluster Gospel rap genre, and this album is a most excellent offering.
"Fivetweezy" gets stuck in my head a lot...and that's a good thing =]
