Teacher Preacher Brings A Bouncing Hip Hop Release on The Return from Babylon

I never truly know what to expect from the latest in the hip hop genre. Teacher Preacher and Kuntry Strong come together to pull out one bouncing hip hop release and it’s called “The Return From Babylon”. From the introduction through the 20 songs of flowing rap music, you are going to be thrilled by how this all pulls through. The beats are secondary to the lyrics, as the flows are coming through fast and furious. Filled with choruses that you’d expect from southern rap, and mainstream singles, you get exactly what you’d expect, and then the duo turns out something even more incredible.

Topics are all over the place, as there is no “one” thing that they are trying to talk about, as they cover a variety of topics from making money to living life of struggle. There’s a lot to sample here, and it’s all done with such an easy flow, that you’ll swear this is second nature to Teacher Preacher and Kuntry Strong. The whole record is well produced, and connects together in a very unique manner. Even though each song stands on their own, the album never feels like you need to skip a track, as it all comes together to tell you a story.

“The Return From Babylon” is one of the better releases that you’re going to get from the hip hop world right now. It is filled with lots of art, great beats and moments where you stop, rewind and hear the words again because they are not what you think. I especially love the way “Grind” works out. If I had a favorite track it’s that one. But that’s not to say the rest aren’t good, as they pull through a great deal of quality tracks. Some of the stand outs include, “Grind”, “Welcome to Amerikkka”, “Getting Made”, “4 Door Rider”, “Im Great”, just to name a few.

For true hip hop fans, this is one that you absolutely cannot miss. “The Return From Babylon” is a quality release, and one that you’ll be playing on repeat with the likes of the new Atmosphere, Greyskul, and more. I highly recommend this one, as it delivers 20 tracks of quality hip hop.

You can buy the record via Itunes, check out emusic.com, and listen to the starting single on soundcloud here.

2KX Create A Lavish Musical Framework Beyond Comparison

Image
I know it’s my job to compare musical acts and try to paint a picture as to what they are doing so that you can go and buy the record and check them out, but every now and again artists are beyond just one genre and above any simple terminology. It’s paying disservice for me to call the latest release from 2KX anything other than a masterpiece. Fronted by Lisa LaRue, this is a release of progressive rock and is like nothing I’ve heard in a long time. Yes, there are other prog rock bands out there, but this release is a cataclysmic exemplification of art, and not just music. With the release of “Sussuration”, you get elements of every type of musical genre, but it’s like a work of art, seamless in the integral elements that make this worth picking up. I was floored by the pieces, and really found myself in awe at the precision at which every element comes together. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and once you hear the record, you understand the pieces fit to make sure that this makes

In Isolation Paints An Incredible Post Punk Portrait with Tears

Image
I recall going on a date once where a girl claimed she liked 1980s post punk and ska music. After asking a few questions, I realized that she didn’t know a thing about the genres and well, we never went out again. That has nothing to do with In Isolation, or their incredible single “Tears”, except for the fact that they are playing on my emotions with their vibrant creation of 1980s style post punk music. I swore I was being placed back in time to a place where rude boys ran the streets and the radio was iconic. Well, maybe that’s not exactly true, but this is one of the best tracks in that regards that I’ve heard by a modern act in a long time. Sure, there are a lot of mainstream bands that are trying to bring this sound back, but they fail to progress through the talent and production quality that is presented with this upcoming single. You’ll find that In Isolation fits directly next to The Cure and all your new wave favorites. They do so with seamless production, quality vocals

SweetEve Bring On A Rocking Sound Worth Your Time

Image
I was able to take a listen to the latest tracks from SweetEve and they definitely have a bright future ahead of them. They are a band that fuses together pop sensibilities with rocking tunes, and killer bass lines. Mixing the same type of rock that makes the Foo Fighters and Goo Goo Dolls (circa Boy Named Goo) great bands, this rock band is trying to tread new routes towards stardom. From the first notes on “Guilty Victim” you get a feel for the music, but it’s not until you hit the guitar solo that you really get a sense of urgency from the band. They build up to it and when it hits, it really gets your toes tapping. Lyrical strong, and overall a catchy tune, SweetEve is quality rock and roll done right. It’s still a bit raw on the recording, but that’s ok, they are up and coming and the tracks represent a good beginning to what very well may be one of the bands of the future. The opening track is definitely a good one, but it’s their second track “Kings and Queens” that really
