Dutch – A Bright Cold Day (Album Review)
Portishead and J Dilla had a jam session and came up with a bunch of bright ideas. No, that didn't really happen, and yes, I am exaggerating. Nonetheless, this album got slept on and tossed aside like... well, you know where I'm going with this pun. What really happened... STOUPE THE ENEMY OF MANKIND, known for his production godliness in →
Sukh Knight – Cheese Loueez EP (Album Review)
Who says TheMashUP has to be limited to one genre? Sorry, strictly-hiphop heads. Dubstep EP. 2009 album. DOPE. A lot closer to dub roots than most modern dubstep. I really dig Sukh Knight's style.

And also with the amount of science that is dropped, I find the name very fitting. I know that just from watching him rock his set he had before Sole and →
Jedi Mind Tricks – Violence Begets Violence (album review)
Violence Begets Violence is a dope album. I’m not going to wait until the end to tell you to go out and buy it. Now that we have that covered, I’m going to get nitpicky. Because no one has a style like the music they put out. Is most of it angry? Yeah! They do their one emotional/socially conscious song →
