Torae "Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself"


While I haven't been too visible on the blogging scene for far too long, I was still listening to tracks and albums continually. This blog right here will be for those albums I hear that need to be discovered by any means necessary.

Torae is an emcee out of NY spitting serious. Armed with a flow that brings to mind the best his city has to offer and a swagger on par with the "SLU" crew (Don't worry he comes harder than any of them did!) if you haven't heard the kid it's only a matter of time.

Having dropped a debut "street" album, Daily Conversation, in January, he teamed up with Okayplayer, Legend and DJ Nice to put out what sits before your eyes. Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself is filled with the griminess you expect from New York, but which has been missing for far to long.

Picking a number of original beats to rock on from the likes of Khrysis, 9th Wonder and Marco Polo along with some of the best instrumentals we have seen over the years Torae demonstrates just what it is the Bad Boy & Dipset camps have seen: The kid can spit!

But don't let those names fool you, this isn't bubblegum sillyness, this is straight Hip Hop from the heart and Torae is determined to make his name known - let him introduce himself.

Curren$y & Wiz Khalifa "How Fly" Review

Image
Two of Hip Hop’s best kept secrets found each other, seemingly through a thick haze of weed smoke – stoners do tend to unite. While Curren$y did enjoy a brief moment of semi fame rolling with Lil' Wayne, he left for potentially greener pastures (addressed splendidly on “S.D.L”) and has been steadily on his grind with the Fly Society behind him. Wiz Khalifa on the other hand has been making a name for himself on both the blog scene and the tour circuit, although he hasn’t made it out to the North West yet. His hustle never did seem appreciated by Warner Brothers who saw a star years ago when they signed him, but sit on the shelf he did until finally gaining his freedom just over 2 weeks ago. Independent is the way to roll and these two obviously share more in common than a fetish for the greenery, fresh kicks, and designer labels. The album gives you much of what you would expect and some of what you might not have. The beats are rocking almost all the way through, some however le

An Interview With... Carlos Niño

Image
My sonic journey has taken me through many sounds, styles, artists, and scenes. Preparing for this interview was cause to reflect on when I first heard the name Carlos Niño , and I think I can pinpoint it near the beginning of the LA beat era . Since that time his name has floated in and out of my ears depending on how tuned in I was. In more recent times his name has been near the top of my most listened to and cherished artists. These connections, these diverse and non linear weavings of activity are part of what make Carlos Niño’s music so inspired to my ears. He seems to just get it. He makes uplifting, soulful, joyous, energetic music - even when it’s calm and ethereal. As I’ve traveled a new path in my life over the last nearly five years, cultivating and developing spiritual and meditative practices to enhance and enlarge my essence, music has been intrinsically connected. As a doorway into the cosmos, a guide towards something greater, a companion through the dark and light mo

Supersonic Rainbow Fiend

As I was contemplating this piece, sitting with the three albums being inspected, I was struck with a lot of thoughts around my journey to Jazz. Recently I mentioned my first hearing Kind of Blue and my inability to grasp the beauty of it at the time. I was a high schooler who was consumed with rap just beginning to step away from the stars of the era and digging into an underground that was vibrant and diverse. I had more digesting to do. This is a repeated pattern throughout my sonic history. I find some music that strikes a chord and I dig in. The napster fueled download era was a dream. Then came the blog era which also rewarded this kind of deep dive. I was trapped in a purgatory of my own making as streaming took rise and was fairly tuned out from anything that wasn’t equally dark and hopeless. As I emerged from that darkness and began hearing names I hadn’t heard of before, exploring this world of modern Jazz became the new quest. Initially it seemed too vast, too much. But I
