Aiight, let's keep it going.
March saw some very disappointing releases such as Snoop Dogg's Doggumentary which is as corny as the title, E-40's Revenue Retrievin' and Bizzy Bone's Mr. Ouija among several others.
Many people claim that my ear has an East Coast bias and I wouldn't attempt to completely refute that but I have no problem acknowledging great hip-hop no matter where it is from.
With that said, I am going to have to go with another East Coast artist for this month's choice of best hip-hop album of 2011 and I am going to chalk it up to a resurgence of outstanding rappers from the East and the fact that the West has simply gotten lazy with the beats and rhymes. Just the cycle of things I suppose.
Whatever it is I am happy to scrounge the internet, turn over garbage cans and lift rocks to find that good hip-hop that we all deserve because the current "radio" stations certainly aren't going to do anything except spoon feed us corporate sponsored trash that some surfer dude is now selling as cool.
I going to have to take a pass on all that and continue to bring you these reviews and allow you exposure to artists you may never have heard of so that you can decide for yourself and get blessed with real hip-hop.
With no further ado the best hip-hop album of March 2011 is Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme by Reks and he won by a mile.
Straight out the box Reks hits you over the head with a joint produced by DJ Premier titled 25th Hour and while deftly embracing a by gone era of hip-hop Reks hangs ten on Premo's sonic tsunami of cuttin', scratching and sampling.
The rest of the album brings the same force with production by Statik Selektah, Pete Rock, Alchemist, Hi-Tek, Fizzy Womack, Blaze P and Mike Frey making for an album with only three joints out of sixteen coming up slightly short.
The album is fire and just in time for the spring.
My favorite songs The Underdog produced by Blaze P and Cigarettes produced by Fizzy Womack and featuring lil' Fame from M.O.P. And should be the next releases if the folks at Brick Records really know what's good and want to make this cat a star.
Program your mp3 player with tracks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
The Best Hip-Hop Album of March 2011 is clearly Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme by Reks and needs to be in your collection today.
