June 10th, 2010 -  DJ Muggs is one of the industries most talented and best known producers.  Since Cypress Hill's formation in 1991, the pioneering rap-rock quartet has come a long way from the streets of South Central L.A. Over the course of its 19-year history, Cypress Hill has sold more than 17 million albums worldwide, including more than 11 million records in the U.S. alone. The group has garnered 15 multi-platinum, platinum and gold certifications from the RIAA; headlined Lollapalooza, Woodstock and the group's own Smokin' Grooves tour, appeared on "Saturday Night Live," made the late-night talk show circuit---all the while breaking down the musical and cultural barriers between hip-hop, alternative, metal, rock, reggae, ska and Latin music. In 2008, DJ Muggs, along with Cypress Hill received a VH1 Hip Hop Honors, to celebrate the vision and innovation that the group continues to bring to Hip Hop, strengthening its force around the world. 

Yet, that only touches on what Muggs has done as a member of Cypress Hill, as his highly-influential solo-projects (Soul Assassin Series, Grandmaster's with Wu-Tang Clan's GZA) and not to mention producing hits for House of Pain "Jump Around" and Ice Cube "Check Yo Self" among many others.  Ill Bill was obviously honored to be working with Muggs, as he affirms "I've always been a huge Muggs fan and his Vs. series is one of the last places to hear the vibe that made albums by Cypress Hill & Gang Starr so dope. Not too many producers can craft an entire album on their own, let alone an album that's a classic. Muggs has done it many times over the past 20 years. It's an honor to be part of that legacy."

For the vast majority of his career, whether solo or in a group capacity, Muggs has established a precedent for working hand in hand with artists and creating cohesive bodies of work, rather then spreading around beats from project to project and that rings true once again on Kill Devil Hills "I prefer getting in the lab and actually creating projects with people instead of just sending out beat CDs. I'm a producer in the fullest extent, where I like to not only produce an album; but craft an album. Being able to start a record from the beginning and following through with it, making sure that all the songs compliment each other. I've always come from making albums and producing my records---I'm still into that" relays DJ Muggs.

Ill Bill was a founding member of Non Phixion who released their seminal debut, The Future Is Now, in 2002 and has also released two influential solo LP's.  Bill has also released an LP as a member of the bi-coastal conglomerate La Coka Nostra (which also includes Everlast, Danny Boy and DJ Lethal of House Of Pain and newcomer Slaine).  Ill Bill's The Hour Of Reprisal (2008) showed flashes of what the future would hold, as Bill & Muggs collaborated on two tracks ("This Is Who I Am" & "Only Time Will Tell") for Bill's most recent solo-LP.

Kill Devil Hills is entirely produced by DJ Muggs and features appearances by B-Real, Raekwon, Sean Price, Everlast, Slaine, Chace Infinite, O.C. Q-Unique, Vinnie Paz and others, but by going where instinct took them, Ill Bill & DJ Mugg's collaborative union manifested into a sonically cohesive album; seemingly very organically as Ill Bill asserts ""Production & conceptually, this record plays out like a movie. All the songs connect. It moves like a concept record the way the beats blend with the words even though we didn't plan it like that. It's basically it's own sound, the Muggs vs. Bill sound" and Muggs adds "the chemistry between us was very natural. Any decisions we had to make, it was easy, like we'd worked together for years.  When we sat back & heard the final product, man, we were both blown away."

D’ abord prévu fin décembre ce n’est qu’en début de printemps que sort le tant attendu Wu-Massacre. Il s’agit là d’une réalisation commune aux rappeurs Wu-Tang Clan : Method Man, Ghostface, & Raekwon  (qui nous proposait déjà  un nouveau volume de Only Built 4 Cuban Linx en septembre dernier). La pochette est à la hauteur du contenu de l’album : tout simplement géniale. Dans l’esprit des dessins de comics Marvel qu’il a l’habitude de dessiner, Chris Bachalo présente sous différentes versions, les trois pontes du hip hop new yorkais. Wu-Massacre  sonne Wu tout craché : on tient là des morceaux efficaces avec des formules qui ont déjà fait leur preuve et montrent à quel point Wu-Tang et tout ses artistes satellitaires restent une référence obligatoire d’un pan du rap américain.

Bon alors pour être clair dès le départ, cet album est une véritable bombe, probablement un des meilleurs albums de hip-hop sortis cette année. Voilà comme ça pas d'ambiguité !

 

Vous me direz : "d'accord, mais c'est quoi Jedi Mind Tricks ?" Un duo producteur/MC venu tout droit de Philadelphie. Le producteur Stoupe et le MC Vinnie Paz nous proposent ici leur troisième album (après The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological and Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human sorti en 1997 et réedité en 2003 et Violent by Design sorti en 2000). Le travail de Stoupe se rapproche de celui d'un RZA par exemple.

En effet, en orfèvre du sample il utilise beaucoup sur cet album de cordes et de rhythmiques latinos (écoutez Nada Cambia, A Storm of Swords ou Kublain Khan) ce qui confère à l'album un charme particulier. Chaque morceau possède une couleur propre et chaque son vous surprendra (Blood in, Blood out ou The Wolf). Maintenant si vous ajoutez un MC fou furieux à ce producteur génial vous obtenez un cocktail des plus détonnants. Vinnie Paz se pose sur ces beats avec un flow énorme et des textes carrément hardcores (Animal Rap) aidé sur certains morceaux par quelques invités prestigieux (Kool G. Rap ou Ill Bill & Sabac Red de Non-Phixion). Un véritable bonheur pour tous les fans de hip-hop. De vrai hip-hop...

Product Description

Siah and Yeshua Dapo ED... A name that brings back memories of a time when independent Hip Hop was at its zenith. They released their 1996 debut vinyl-only EP "The Visualz" on Bobbito Garcia's famous record label Fondle 'Em Records. The EP featured rapping from the group's two MCs, production from Jon Adler, and a guest appearance by Ken Bugaloo. The group's song "The Cure for Stagnation" appeared on the 1998 compilation album "Deeper Concentration." "A Day Like No Other", a remix of the group's song "A Day Like Any Other", was released on Mary Joy Records in 1998 and featured Yeshua Dapo ED, Murs, EL-P, and Shing02 freestyling over beats from the original song. Siah and Yesh also went on to record various solo tracks. Now, for the first time in its entirity, the group's collective work is available on CD. This deluxe package contains liner notes from Bobbito and Siah plus rare never before seen photography, artwork and live show flyers. Also special bonus material: MP3 instrumentals of the first 6 tracks, and live freestyle MP3's. A true collector's item!
