In Search of Stoney Jackson is produced entirely by Madlib, longtime friend of Phil Da Agony and extended Strong Arm Steady family. The album’s conception owes a great deal to World Famous Beat Junkie, J.Rocc, who provided the trio with close to 200 of the Madlib the Beat Konducta’s tracks to choose from. Strong Arm Steady had previously rapped over Madlib productions on the Madlib and Talib Kweli Liberation album, but this full-length marks a long-desired collaboration between the four. It’s a hip-hop jam session, with the group acting as the rhythm section for an all-star cast of guest vocalists such as Planet Asia, Guilty Simpson, Evidence, Chase Infinite, and Phonte of Little Brother. (Stones Throw)
This will hit the streets January 26th and is already available as a digital release via the Stones Throw website!

It’s almost time! So many have been waiting for Fashawn‘s debut album “Boy Meets World”. In case you’ve been living under a rock or just tuned in to this talented MC from Cali…wake the f*ck up! This right here is the new crack to listening to. The whole album has a feel to it..hard to explain, but it makes me feel like I just went back in time to when Hip Hop wasn’t a gimmick or media thing. Pure nineties Hip Hop music for your enjoyment. You’ll see what I’m talking about as soon as you listen to the goosebump evoking “Lupita” with some slick ass guitar play.
Is it just me or does this feel like listening to cats like Pharcyde? Imma just say it man. Hip Hop is back…yeah I said it! Fashawn and Exile (who tears up the mic on “Bo Jackson”) hit the nail on the head with this one. Artists like Aloe Blacc, Evidence, Blu, Co$$ and Planet Asia bless this album with a cameo…BUY THIS ALBUM WHEN IT DROPS!!

In 2006 Up Hygh released one of the best albums of the year (when it comes to deep, down, dirty hip hop with an electronical twist). Residing from Stockholm these guys (Rik Skizzo and Pure Pare) knew how to bang out a quality album. They used crispy drums, deep bass and knew their way around synths for sure. If you’re in for a fantastic ride, I suggest you get yourself a copy of “The Venus High” album. You’re in for a real treat with features by Little Brother, Planet Asia, Eska, ADL & Melo! Too bad they broke up, but still a massive slept on album if you ask me.
