SoulOnFire-MVRemixsml

Stateside online magazine MV Remix have just published their latest album reviews.

Included in recent releases by Ghostface Killah & Apollo Brown, U-God, Ace Hood, Murs & Mayer Hawthorne is the new album by ethemadassassin “Soul on Fire” which drops on 17th September.

The NC emcee, who also operated from Camden NJ before moving to Los Angeles to form Veteran Assassins, has years in the game from starting off in the local rap battle scene and releasing mixtapes in the 90’s, to releasing 2 previous solo albums and working with international producers.

The magazine’s Leland Gill opens:

“His experience shows in his raps as he speaks on his rocky past and lessons learned from his successes and failures. He has been with music and the streets for a long time and his maturity comes across loud and clear”

The beats throughout draw on various rock, classic soul and hip hop samples which work as a perfect backdrop to his energetic flow, reflected in the summary:

“Soul on Fire is an exercise in skillful lyricism and top-notch delivery from someone who has valued experience with hip-hop. Ethemadassassin creates quality sound using the past of the genre and his own life for influence.”

Taken from the album so far are the singles Tiger Blade and Can’t Get Enough

MagnaCarta-QMag1

Included in Paul McGee’s monthly Hip Hop column in the January issue (Q318) of Q Magazine is the new album by Melanin 9, “Magna Carta”. The album was chosen along with releases by Miguel, Evitan, Vinnie Paz and Murs & Fashawn.

Q Magazine is a world renowned physical and online multi genre music publication based in London, and the coverage follows on from other reviews & features which appeared last in year in other notable magazines Clash Magazine, MOJO, Echoes, DJ Magazine and over 50 others from the UK, Europe and United States.

There has been a widespread level of appreciation for the London emcee’s lyricism and subject matter, and as debut albums go must be one of the most impressive releases of its kind in the history of UK hip hop.
