P.O.S - Never Better

P.O.S - Never Better

By Cameron_Elliott 9th Mar, 2009

P.O.S has never had a massive push in this country, so if this is your first time hearing about him I hope that this urges you to at least check the record out. It will be worth your while.

Atmosphere [Audio]: Painting the picture1

Atmosphere [Audio]: Painting the picture

By JackT 8th May, 2008

If the dominant strain of US hip hop thrives on bravado and boasts, then Minneapolis duo Atmosphere may just represent the flipside. Laden with self-critique, introspection and the minutiae of daily life, their music is unapologetically intense.

Mac Lethal - 11:11

Mac Lethal - 11:11

By Alida 9th Oct, 2007

This is what it sounds like when an angry white boy (and I use that term with conviction) gets a record deal. 11:11 is a cynical, thought provoking and hard hitting album about beer, religion, kissing girls and Kansas City.

Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth

Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth

By Xpose 3rd May, 2007

Brother Ali is one of the top ten emcees from the US, probably in the world, wit, charisma, passion, honesty and straight up technical brilliance are his calling cards

Psalm One - The Death Of Frequent Flyer

By billcode 20th Aug, 2006

Do you know any female chemistry students? Do they rap? This one does. Psalm One has ditched the Bunsen burner for the mic, despite graduating university since her debut with the Nacrobats in 2003.

P.O.S. - Audition

P.O.S. - Audition

By Sophiska 7th Feb, 2006

This album was the epitomy of Roller Coaster ride. I hated it, then I loved it, then I tolerated it and now there are a few tracks I couldn't live without. From the confusing camp at Rhymesayers let me present to you P.O.S, not Point of Sale, Pissed Off S

Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having

Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having

By Xpose 31st Oct, 2005

Album number five from Atmosphere, this one is bound to polarise fans. Their sound, in particular the production, is the most accessible it has ever been. As a result many of the backpack wearing nerd rap lovers are up in arms, complaining on message boar

Felt 2 - A Tribute to Lisa Bonet

Felt 2 - A Tribute to Lisa Bonet

By billcode 1st Sep, 2005

For 'A Tribute to Lisa Bonet' Atmosphere's Slug and Living Legend's Murs, two of America's nicest underground rappers, have teamed up to make a whole album dedicated to the ups and the downs, as they say it, of the fairer, curvier, sex.

The Boomb Bap Project - Reprogram

The Boomb Bap Project - Reprogram

By Xpose 11th Jul, 2005

The Boom Bap Project are a hip hop trio out of Seattle. Yes, Seattle! Don't exit this review, believe it or not Seattle is good for more than grunge, so read on and chances are you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Grayskul - Deadlivers

Grayskul - Deadlivers

By Sophiska 1st Jul, 2005

The latest to sign to Atmosphere's label Rhymesayers, Grayskul have been pegged as some of the most depressing hip hop around. It must be the weather in Seattle that breeds this bored hatred and speculation, I'd be interested to see what they came up with

Blueprint - 1988

Blueprint - 1988

By Xpose 9th May, 2005

Blueprint has been around the scene for a while, has worked with some big names (as both a producer and MC), but finally with 1988 he has created an album that is a must have for hip hop fans worldwide.

Atmosphere - Headshots: Se7en

Atmosphere - Headshots: Se7en

By Xpose 21st Feb, 2005

Atmosphere is probably best summed up as the antithesis of commercial hip hop, buried in the underground back pack firmly over their shoulders and pouring their soul through music. Headshots Se7ven is somewhat of a wholly grail to their legions of fans.

MF Doom - MM Food

MF Doom - MM Food

By Xpose 13th Dec, 2004

One of hip hop's most twisted yet most loved personalities, MF Doom is back with a new album full of exactly what you expect - tight beats, strange samples and clever rhymes.
