TimingIsEverything-Blacksheep

British online publication Blacksheep Magazine have reported on international hip hop for many years now, providing news, interviews and reviews of releases and artists who would draw from the more traditional elements of the genre

They are the latest to run the rule over the debut album by Detroit rapper Kid Vishis, the younger brother of Slaughterhouse veteran Royce da 5 9, and have afforded “Timing is Everything” a 4 star rating. Contributor Andrew Kay opens with the question “by being Royce’s kid brother, the question remains: is he a credible chip off the old block?“.

He then goes through the tracks produced by Mr Porter, Chase Moore (Hippie Sabotage), Nemisis and Nick Zervos before concluding “no one can fault the execution of making an album that says more than what’s on the tin – Kid has his own style, differing from his more established brother. But on the face of this, he’s in his own lane and on his way to a very credible career with (hopeful) longevity and much success.”

Taken from the album, which can be pre-ordered at www.seven13ent.com, here’s the lyric video for “Look At All My $hit”

US online Rap Essence are the latest to run the rule over the album, with a track by track analysis which is then summarized :

“Kid Vishis really impressed me on here. He changes up the topics and subject matter on almost every song, while still coming with aggressive rhymes and boastful battle raps at the same time. This keeps the album feeling fresh and gives each of the songs its own unique identity, which is something that is missing from a lot of hip-hop albums nowadays”

Prior to the album releasing, he is also due to launch a new mixtape which will consist of original tracks only, so look out for a number of audio & official video releases over the next few months as well as widespread international media coverage throughout the summer.

VerbalSwardz-DeadEndHipHop

Latest to review the new EP “Verbal sWARdz” by north London rapper & producer Iron Braydz is US online Dead End Hip Hop

They have been a regular supporter of this release, publishing posts about video releases and the audio stream, and their contributor Samuel Odunsi Jr has a strong interest in hip hop with the classic elements of meaningful lyricism and superior wordplay combined with quality beats & production

Picking up on the major influence Wu Tang has had on the artist through the years, the review reflects the mic skills on display as well as Braydz own production style :

“I am a growing fan of the hip hop scene in the UK, including the battle rap league Don’t Flop, but I am always held in awe at the speed at which these rappers spit their lyrics. Iron Braydz is no exception. But like any good lyricist, Braydz isn’t just spitting for the hell of it…..All the bars said on this project by Braydz and the respective artists featured does indeed make this a verbal war….If you are fan of quality lyrics and that grimy RZA-inspired production sound, you need to listen to Verbal sWARdz.”

Released on 14th April and featuring Triple Darkness, Sean Price, Prince Po, Kyza, Phat Kat, Skriblah and DJ Shortee Blitz, the 10 track Verbal sWARdz EP is available now from Iron Braydz’ BANDCAMP

VerbalSwardz-PremiereHipHop

With a long time appreciation of UK crew Triple Darkness, they have run the rule over their latest member Iron Braydz’ new EP “Verbal sWARdz” which released on his Unorthostract label on 14th April 2014 – available at http://braydz.bandcamp.com

The review reflects Sunez’ own passion for the artform, setting the background scene in an introduction which ends

“Now across borders and over waters there are the UK Triple Darkness crew of countercultural lyricists that ignite with insight. Their newest member, Iron Braydz strips it all down, keeps the collected fam enlisted as soldiers in verse trenches and gives an EP of concentrated explosions.”

The review works through the 10 tracks produced by Iron Braydz, Ringz of Saturn, Agor & Daniel Taylor and featuring Sean Price, Prince Po, Triple Darkness, Kyza, Skriblah, Phat Kat & DJ Shortee Blitz, and summarizes :

“As part of one of the great crews of importance, sharing lyrics of relevance and fiery inspiration worldwide, Triple Darkness’ Iron Braydz is a war chief cutting heads off devils with no limitation and the deeper understanding the more you listen….With Verbal Swardz, we at least know the real brothers out in the UK are thriving in their own league.”
