Album History –Wu Tang Clan : Enter the 36 Chambers is an album that was made in 1993, and is about 60 mins long. Its an East Coast Hardcore Hip Hop album, whose title was inspired by a cult classic Kung Fu movie called The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (which I believe was made in 1978 or 77). The album was the debut album of Wu Tang clan (another name inspired by Kung Fu movie genre) and re-invigorated East Coast Hip Hop (especially New York). Personal: This album changed Absolute Zero‘s perspective on Hip Hop music and made him appreciate and admire the genre. Leading him to develop into the artist he is today. – Artist on the this album are –
I first heard Jred at the Hip Hop 4 Flint Charity Event. This was a charity event to raise money for the people of Flint Michigan after their drinking water crisis. At the event I heard Jred perform a nice set. Jred performed a set full of trap flavored bangers. His performance was high energy. Jred danced his way across the stage while playing heavy beats. This all came together for a fun show. Jred I got a chance to listen too Jred‘s full length project “Before The Fame”. My initial impression of Jred is that he is a rapper who is most comfortable making slightly dark, trap influenced bangers. Jred talks a lot about drugs, a lot about his swagger, and a lot about his grind on this project.
Here are my top five favorite JRed tracks in no particular order. I recently finished a review of JRed’s full length project Before The Fame. I wanted a to quickly give everyone a taste of what they can expect from him. JRed has a heavy trap influenced, so expect quite a few bangers on this list. If you want a more detailed breakdown description of these tracks you can head over too the full Introduction/Album Review. #1 Hola # 2 Motivation
Backpack Beatz – Mochilla – Album Review Backpack Beatz released his first rap album under his current name “Mochilla”. For any of you Spanish speakers you will notice that the title is spanish for backpack. Backpack takes the word and pronounces it “Moe – Chill – A”. This goes a long way towards describing the somber feeling of the album. Backpack Beatz is a Producer/ Rapper/DJ from Pensacola, Florida. The first time I met Backpack was in 2011. At that time he was rapping under the name “Livin Proof” and producing under Backpack Beatz. I heard his first released at that time, a project called “Ramen and Fruit Punch“. Backpack produced this entire album himself. You can easily compare him to other producer/rappers such as Kanye West, Big K.R.I.T. , and J. Cole.
I first met Buster Wolf in early 2015. He was ripping a show at Liberty Bar(one of the best venues in Tallahassee). What stood out to me immediately about Buster Wolf was his alternative style, his incredible breath control, his high energy, and his gamer influence.From talking to him I gathered that we had a lot of the same musical background. Like me Buster had a firm familiarity with the classic hip-hop albums like the Black Star, Like Water for Chocolate, and Low End Theory. Not only that, he was also familiar with alternatives acts like Cannibal Ox and Doom. So when he told me that he didn’t have a proper full length it was a bit disappointing, but he let me know he was in the process of making a project call Vejigante I was really looking forward to it. Being a man in a mask, we shared a dope conversation about masks. Apparently the Vejigante is a piece of Puerto Rican folklore represented by these brightly colored masks. So after seeing Buster Wolf open up for KRS-One I was given a “physical” copy of his album Vejigante . The album is on a really cool looking card USB Read More…
