Timid / Edo G / GrandDaddy I.U.

To be honest with you, I never in my life think I ever heard about an emcee by the name of Timid, and if it wasn't for the features on this I would have passed on even listening to it. After doing so, I can say I'm glad i hit the play button cuz this shit is a certified banger. The veteran producer/MC from Queens, Grand Daddy I.U., hooks up a marvelous boom bap track for Boston's finest; Edo G who kicks off the track with a hard ass verse. Timid proves that he's far from a slouch either, delivering two solid verses of his own. I got to give extra points for having a ill scratch hook; courtesy of a deejay named Dirty Digits. 

SoundCloud stream for now only, but if you're feeling this you can pick up an mp3 up @ iTunes.

    Chuuwee has a mixtape out there called ''Be Cool''. the mixtape has a smooth taste. it reminds me Pharcyde or People Under the Stairs.

    and willie, i love that tape. the concept behind the tape is very interesting. he rhymes over the original versions of some sampled tracks. I like it a lot.

    I've read some reviews from you, and I would like to see more. hope you have time to do more.

    Another thing I find interesting was to give more attention to newcommers that are coming.

    Finale, Has-Lo, Maffew Ragazino, Skyzoo etc.

    thanks for your input, always appreciated and good to know what you as a reader would like to see on this blog. i will definitely write more reviews, i haven't really taken the time to do so lately but it's coming.

    i try to include a little bit of the newcomers as you say, i like all the artists you mentioned there plus Fashawn, Apollo Brown, Hassaan Mackey and others. i don't want it to be too much of just a news blog since there's so many out there and i want to keep the "true school" formula but i try to balance it out a bit. i'll check out the tapes you mentioned too.

    thx again / peace
