Please give me a download and an album review. This is where the real stuff starts. Between this, the EP, and the big "Hold On" remix that's in the works, I'm gonna be pushing hard to get this whole thing on track. Man.

Highway Music
I posted the Show TuFli tapes yesterday, and now I present you with fellow Demevolist Music Group rapper B/A. I'm pretty sure he was formerly name Baghdad. I think. But I gotta say, this one has to be my favorite Demev project I've heard aside from Charles' tapes. It's perfectly serves its purpose as being ... highway music. Bump this stuff in your car. I did on my last trip back from school to Louisville. I made it all the way there. So that must mean something. Doesn't it?

2 Show Flis

I missed posting Show TuFli's last two tapes. Maybe it's my fanboyism towards anything CH related, but I enjoy these tapes. Unfortunately he's not half the lyricist that Charles is, but he's still definitely a competent emcee. Sometimes delves back into stereotypicalness a lil' too much for my taste, but still pretty nicely focused tribute tapes anyway. The first is an ode to my OutKasts, the second to one Eminem. The first one he put out was to Jay if you remember.

Classic: Gunpowder
In my opinion, Wyclef Jean has a basketful of classic records under his belt. Fugees or not. This one just happens to have the beautiful Ms. Hill serenading with background vocals as well. But that just adds to its already perfect composition.
Wyclef Jean - Gunpowder (feat. Lauryn Hill)
This cut's from his solo debut The Carnival. It was hailed as an immediate classic post-Score. I don't disagree. It's decade later sequel of sorts is every bit as good to my ears as well. And a few of the several records in between, too. Ha. Well that's enough dubious honors alotted to the man for the moment.
"Gunpowder" is a back-from-war ballad, except Clef's brother didn't come back. I'm not gonna claim to be a connoisseur of reggae music, but I think Wyclef is the closest thing we'll ever have to another Bob Marley. Outside of the immediate Marley family, of course. There are quite a few of them ...
This song evokes all of the right emotions to play off of its crisp bongo accompaniment and tropical acoustic vibe. And Clef manipulates his voice magnificently as Lauryn accents certain lines in the anti-war song. I can't tell you how many times I've had this track on repeat.

175
Don't know why I chose that number. Maybe cuz 27 doesn't have eight syllables no matter how I try and rap it out.
Chris Campbell - 175
This is another one off Sonic the Campbellton. I think it's prolly my best written concept track since "Chasing Something" off Vol. 2, A Laptop Chronicle. It samples "Baby Come Back" by Player waaaaay back in the day. Prolly better known for this dumb commercial than the original, though. Everyone loves this sample. It's frickin' great. Download it and pass it around.

Classic: Do You Like the Way
Carlos Santana is the most relevant ancient musician ever. No shots, but his one guitar setting is probably the most distinctive, recognizable sound in music today. Every time you hear that high pitched wah ... yup. That's Santana.
And it's even better when you factor in that your favorite musician has prolly collaboed with him before. Or multiple times if you're a big fan of Shakira, Lauryn Hill, or Nickelback. And in the vain of some of the greatest collaborations ever, I present you with Santana shredding like a Mexican cheese greater over my two favorite soul singers of all time. Even if one only raps her part.
Santana - Do You Like the Way (feat. Lauryn Hill & Cee-Lo)
Ms. Hill is fierce on the mic regardless of the subject or backdrop provided. And Cee-Lo at the top of his lungs is a wonder for the world to be hold. I think I might even like the live version better, though. It has all the grittiness intact that makes the song even more ridiculously soulful and perfect. And just completely by the way ... Lauryn is absolutely sexy in this video.
