It’s been a phenomenal first few months of 2015 for producer turned rapper Ande Bishop

Having received a massive response to his “50 Centences” debut track featured in The Source in January, (view HERE), and the subsequent “$77.43” tearing up the internet and receiving widespread radio support, the latest Seven13 Entertainment signing has just completed the recording of his new EP “Ocean$ – Extended Play” and has announced the release date as 19th May 2015

The latest product from the prolific American Roulette camp, Ande also produced stablemate Londn Blue’s EP “False Hope” and has just released his first official video and single “MoneyOrFriendz”. The beat is courtesy of Taylor $upreme who has production credits with Freddie Gibbs, E-40, Yukmouth, Trae tha Truth and many more

Check out the stream of the self produced bonus cut “$77.43” leaked earlier this year

The latest emerging name in the new wave of Southern Rap artists, Ande Bishop’s approach is diverse thanks to his varying influences over the years including Tupac, Blu & Exile, Lil Wayne, Erykah Badu and T.I. A recent newcomer to the production game, he started experimenting with beats by mashing classic r&b and soul samples with Southern kicks before swapping the desk for the mic.

Buggs-DeadEndHipHop

US online publication Dead End Hip Hop are the latest to run the rule over the new album “Scattered Thoughts of an American Poet” by Cincinnati rapper Buggs tha Rocka

In this review, written by Samuel Odunsi Jr, the eclectic mix of hip hop, r&b, soul and jazz present throughout the album is highlighted and commended. The album is a mix of Buggs’ own scattered thoughts about a variety of issues, and the production reflects the mood and his own diverse influences and tastes.

A year in the making, it was put together as a meeting of like minds, organically, and mixes the range of production styles from Illmind, Jake One, Kill Wil, Sal Dali and Hop Trax with the variance in delivery techniques by Tanya Morgan, Chuck Inglish, MOOD, Piakhan and includes soulful vocals from Aida Chakra, Phoenix Aphrodite and Pappadon.

Despite this approach, there is a coherent theme running throughout, as picked up by the reviewer in his summary :

“After my initial listen of the album, I was debating which section I enjoyed the most (the introductory tracks, the middle tracks, or the concluding tracks) and really I made no definitive choice. I instead came to the conclusion that I really enjoyed the whole album. In its entirety it felt focused and it properly maintained….if Scattered Thoughts Of An American Poet is only a precursor, then we need to brace ourselves for what Buggs will be bringing us in 2015.”

READ THE WHOLE REVIEW HERE

Pick the album up as a free download from the 10th December 2014, available at www.buggstharocka.com & vua the My Mixtapez App for all mobile devices

Look out for much more international media & press coverage regarding this release in the days ahead, and connect with Buggs on twitter @BuggsThaRocka. Meantime, watch the concept video for the track “Angel of Death” which features Piakhan

The review which summarizes “Buggs Tha Rocka has delivered a quality offering here, with dope rhymes, dope beats and a unique approach. After listening through to the 19 tracks on display here, it’s no wonder a shock that legends like Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek are throwing their weight behind the Cincinnati MC, and his knack for spitting well structured bars over a selection of pretty chilled instrumentals will definitely stand him in good stead…One thing is for sure though; this kid can definitely rap.” can be read in full HERE
