The new album “Righteous Fury by ex Guerilla War Tactix member Matt Maddox releases tomorrow 25th February on Red Phone Records / Seven 13 Music.

Originally out of Long Beach California and currently resident in Kansas, the rapper has put several years’ work into this his sophomore release, and it includes all the key qualities of an authentic hip hop album – skilled lyricism and wordplay, quality beats and turntablism, and a well chosen selection of special guest features

UK online magazine PopCulturez are the latest to give their full endorsement in this new review published today. “Lyrically thick, this album takes things right back to hardcore rhyme spitting such as on the superb, uncompromising, ‘Murder Weapons.” as the magazine goes into further detail of the east meets west influence throughout, concluding “Without playing to the commercial galleries, this album hits hard with no filler, clocking in at 57 minutes to deliver a lean and mean collection“.

RighteousFury-Musiceyz

Long Beach rapper Matt Maddox, currently based in Kansas in America’s mid west, releases his second solo album Righteous Fury on 25th February, four years after his solo debut “Asylum Artistry”

Been some time in the making, however he’s been on the heavy grind recently, releasing two official videos and a single in quick succession and putting together a live performance schedule for the year including an appearance at SXSW, a tour with Slaughterhouse and dates in the UK, Europe and Australia.

The ex Guerilla War Tactix member is recognized for his trademark raw & raucous delivery style, a verbal onslaught of wordplay and lyricism while working with a range of quality international producers. UK online multi genre magazine Musiceyz took a listen through Righteous Fury and found it to represent the key hip hop musical elements to the max.

Read what they had to say HERE

The album which releases via Red Phone Records & Seven 13 Music includes features by Tragedy Khadafi, Reef The Lost Cauze, King Magnetic, the UK’s Edd Bundy, Swann and cuts throughout by DJ TMB, while production comes courtesy of The Snowgoons’ Sicknature, Skammadix, Jedi Mind Tricks’ C Lance, Vanderslice, Nemesis, Hellzwind, Engineer and Sultan Mir. Although 19 tracks long, it still comes in at under an hour in running time – a no nonsense, good ol’ fashioned hip hop banger from start to finish

The international iTunes pre order link is http://georiot.co/3ILt and expect to read much more about the release in the weeks ahead. Meantime, check out his single “Street Art” featuring Tragedy Khadafi, produced by Skammadix with cuts from DJ TMB
