Artists Like we all learned from Spider-Man - with great power comes great responsibility. In much the same way, music critics are stuck in between great fortune, in the fact that they are turned on to new music on a daily basis, and tremendous pressure in their obligation to report on a recording without bias. Don't do a record justice or write a scathing review and you hurt sales, praise what you like and someone might trust you and go out and buy it. That's our goal, to promote what we think is good... Sometimes we come across a new band that we think is great and sometimes we get a sampler that has some good stuff on it. Rarely does a bunch of stuff from a single label come to us and it's all dope! But Sound-Ink Records is, as torture says on Do It Again, "Hot Shit!" This is an sampler from 3 years ago that holds it's own as well now as it would have the day it was released. From a mostly vinyl label, this CD gives you a good idea of the talent under the Sound-Ink umbrella. Plenty of rock-solid production by the usual suspects King Honey, Heat Sensor, M Sayyid, Mutamassik and guests (MF Doom before the days of Viktor Vaughn.) Opening track Motions is the perfect introduction with a combination of groovy, laptop-bass beats from King Honey and laid-back vocals as good as anyone in the game from Mental. Covering a wide range of styles from old, new and next-school rap, laptop electronica, choppy bass and tribal drums, some instrumental tracks, some striaght up rap - always hip-hop at it's best further proving that this is not a crew to be fucked with! |
