This is a good introduction to 90's Hip Hop for those who may just be learning about the era, a refreshing listen for those who lived through the era and appreciate these gems cut up by the hands of skilled DJs. Grab the free download of this project while it's available at their bandcamp page.
Of the few rare times I've heard Afro-beat used in Hip Hop, this sounds like one of the most inventive in it's ability to display the trademark rhythms and grooves of Africa, yet still provide the foundation for each MC to spit their lyrics in the sense of traditional Hip Hop.
Had to post this after hearing it on one of my favorite college mix shows, the combination of Philly's most respected DJ crew, Reef The Lost Cauze and Supastition sounds great.
From IllVibe Collective's blog:
"Behold. The first single from our debut production LP coming via Soulspazm Records in early 2011. The forthcoming Illvibe Collective album is titled All Together now and is a mixed bag of hip hop, soul, and electronic flavors. There are appearances on the album from Bahamadia, Invincible, Conya Doss, Aaron Livingston, Rich Medina, our label mate, Hezekiah and much more. We have been working on All Together now for about 2 years and it's finally done and ready for your ears. For now, here is the first single, Authentic Raw featuring Supastition and Reef The Lost Cauze. The feedback has been overwhelming so far and a bunch of DJs around the globe have already added the joint to their playlists thanks to Foundation Media. We hope you all enjoy what's to come."
