[Album] GHETTOSOCKS - "For You Pretty Things"
I first toook notice of Ghettosocks as a guest spitter on "Rhyme 4 Rhyme"; a standout from the immaculate Soundsci debut "Formula 99" last year. Now the Canada representative is going for dolo with an album entitled "For You Pretty Things" which sees the emcee weavinging both hilarious and serous, introspective lyrics over laid-back samples that never loses touch of the raw hip-hop of his predecessors -it moves along slow, but the beats are thumping, the beats are layered, there's plenty of turntable work. Even emcees like El Da Sensei, Sadat X and Moka Only turn up for a verse each. Go ahead and at least give it a spin!

Ghetto Socks - "Everyday Apocalypse" / "I'll Be Your Dog"
It's no secret that The Lost Tapes are huge fan of anything related to Soundsci, and although not a 'Sci joint per say, this slamming recent 7" on Blunted Astronaut Records have both the A- and B-side produced by The Process (Jonny Cuba + DJ Ollie Teeba; with the latter also performing the cuts). The main artist is Ghetto Socks who truly goes IN, just like he did the first time I heard him which just happened to be on Soundsci's debut album "The Formula" about a year ago. The A-side "Everyday Apocalyps" also features a 16 from the emcee Timbuktu, while the B-side ("I'll Be Your Dog") brings a cameo from the impressive Muneshine. This all really come together perfectly ... the beat, the cuts, the main emcee, the cameo, the vibe; plus it comes packaged in a real nice package supplied by Blunted Astronat as you see above, and for just €6.95 it can be yours. TURN IT UP!!
