Ande-LesPetitesChroniques

Southern rapper & producer Ande Bishop releases his debut EP, entitled “Ocean$ – Extended Play” on 19th May.

The most recent signing to the ever expanding Seven 13 Entertainment, he’s being tipped by many as one of the hottest talents to emerge from the Atlanta area, due to his fresh sound and approach which is down in no small way to the variety of influences he grew up with.

On the production front he started by mixing classic soul and r&b with some Southern flavours, and growing up listening to classic hip hop artists Tupac and Blu with those closer to home such as T.I. has developed a style which is already drawing some early comparisons to Outkast and Isaiah Rashad.

French online “Les Petites Chroniques”, translated as “the little reviews” produce a series of snapshot summaries of various releases, and have just published this one for Ande’s new EP. The summary “Cet EP est parfiat pour l’apero” reflects that the EP is perfect for the “Apero” tradition of a few summer drinks in the early evening due to it’s overall chilled sound.

YOU CAN READ THE REVIEW ON THE SITE HERE

Check out the stream of his latest single “OLDJAYZVIDEOS” which received the seal of approval from Rick Ross who shared it on his own page

Ande is currently conducting interviews with a variety of international publications. Any members of the press or media wishing to arrange an interview with Ande Bishop can send their requests to UrbanElite PR via our CONTACT SECTION

TimingIsEverything-DataTransmission

British online publication DataTransmission is best known for it’s comprehensive coverage of the European dance music scene, reviewing releases, interviewing artists, reporting on events from across the continent

They also have a history of delving into other genres such as hip hop, and are the latest to review the debut album “Timing is Everything” by Detroit MC Kid Vishis, the younger brother of Slaughterhouse’s Royce da 5 9.

Contributor Ethan Everton provides an in depth analysis of the lyricism and subject matter backed by production from Shady Records’ Mr Porter, New Jersey’s Nemisis, Canadian Nick Zervos and Australian Chase Moore of the duo Hippie Sabotage, summarizing :

“Unrestricted, untamed and compact with vivid differentiation, he will strike chords with both mainstream and underground hip-hop audiences. His lyricism speaks volumes about his experience, while as a debut album it purposely portrays the level at which Kid Vishis is currently working.”

Read the full review HERE

The album releases on 22nd July 2014, and will be available internationally on digital and physical formats. Signed copies can be pre-ordered from the label at www.seven13ent.com

RighteousFury-Blacksheep

Long Beach rapper Matt Maddox, now based in Kansas in America’s midwest, releases his sophomore solo album “Righteous Fury” on 25th February via Red Phone Records / Seven 13 Music.

He follows in the international theme of his original Guerilla War Tactix crew with features and production from both sides of the Atlantic, including C Lance of Jedi Mind Tricks, Vanderslice, the UK’s Edd Bundy & turntablist DJ TMB, Tragedy Khadafi, Reef the Lost Cauze, Sicknature of the Snowgoons, Nemesis, Skammadix, King Magnetic and many more.

UK online publication Blacksheep Magazine have reported on authentic hip hop with superior beats and lyricism for many years, and their writer Andrew Kay gave “Righteous Fury” a test drive to see how it delivered

A 4 star review which dissects the production, lyrical content & flow, particularly his comparison of the legacy left by the true greats to some contemporary representation of the genre in “No Country For Old Men” is summarized “Maddox might come from the Mid-West, but don’t let that judge it or fool you- he’s the real deal: a post recession MC that says something, keeps your head rocking, your brain ticking and giving rap some injection of purpose. Not a moment too soon!”
