They also provided a snapshot review of the album which includes direct links to stores selling in both formats and is summarized :

“Matt Maddox is the kind of guy who spits over booming drums, samples from The Godfather score and dramatic strings, and who does so with a voice that sounds like he chews rocks for breakfast. The kind of guy who’s had his full of a lot of the guys that have been dating hiphop and doesn’t like what they’ve made her do. If you decide to have a go at her, you’d better come prepared, ’cause Matt Maddox is the kind of daddy greeting potential suitors with a shotgun by the door. The kind filled with a Righteous Fury.”

Dead End Hip Hop review Matt Maddox album “Righteous Fury”

By urbanelitepr | February 23, 2014

With only a couple of days to go until the release of the sophomore album by Kansas base MC Matt Maddox, renowned Stateside online magazine Dead End Hip Hop are the latest to run the rule over “Righteous Fury”

Their contributor Samuel Odunsi Jr pays tribute to the essence of the album which is “hearkening back to the earlier days of hip hop that boasted raw lyricism over everything else” and concludes If you miss that raw, old-school hip hop sound I strongly recommend you give this 19-track project a listen. It’ll leave you more than satisfied You can read the entire article HERE

Artists such as Matt Maddox have retained a global market over the years as while many of us remember the sound of decades gone by, new generations not as readily exposed to it on the network channels have discovered the classics in clubs and the internet. For them, it’s “new”, and has qualities not as prevalent elsewhere. Hip Hop and rap music has developed and diversified over the years as happens with every genre. Those who draw from the elements of the Golden Era are not themselves stuck in the 90’s. They have developed that style to the contemporary version they produce today. Everything comes from somewhere, there are differences, one thing is not another, but neither is one thing necessarily “better”than another – the public pays its money & takes its choice.

It’s thanks to artists such as Matt Maddox and many more the world over that a younger generation realize they have a choice

Releasing Tuesday 25th February on Red Phone Records / Seven 13 Music, here is the video trailer for the album which uses the track “The Get Back” featuring King Magnetic. Righteous Fury can be pre-ordered on iTunes at http://georiot.co/3ILt

Here is the album tracklist

Currently on tour with Reef the Lost Cauze and Adlib, and about to hit venues in Atlantic City, Chicago, Virginia, North & South Carolina and Wisconsin, you can keep up to date with him on twitter @MattMaddox82 and check in with the guys at the magazine @DeadEndHipHop

By urbanelitepr | February 17, 2014

With just over a week until release, UK online magazine Sampleface are the latest to review the new album “Righteous Fury” by Kansas based rapper Matt Maddox
