The tag team of Blueprint and Illogic is the fulfillment of message board fantasies circa ’02. Eight years later, the second part of their Electric Purgatory collaboration has elicited mostly crickets around the Internet, save for the Bloggerhouse Crew. Then again, we now live in a UserShare universe, based on page views and one-sentence summaries. No need to offer a dull inside baseball diatribe about why everyone abandoned their backpacks. The reasons for their lack of critical vogue are complex. Blogs thrive on the me-first mentality that allows them to brand artists as their own. Internet tastemakers would rather crown obscure regional acts than tout two veteran indieground dudes prone to abstract flights of fancy. Columbus consistently gets no love. And y’know, times and tastes change.
I begrudge no one the right to their personal preference. But I will mourn the fact that I get besieged by PR e-mails hyping the Fader love for Young Gully’s Definition of Gas mixtape, when there is no oxygen in their universe for two of the best Underground rappers of the last decade. Maybe they should’ve swapped that Aesop Rock guest spot for one with Yung Moses. Or at least employed an over-priced publicist to help exhaust the hard drive space of collector’s who consume but rarely contribute.
Granted, there is nothing sexy about Electric Purgatory. There is no high concept contrivance that will allow them to rise above the cluttered media landscape. Writing about it will not earn any bragging rights. It’s just well-constructed rap music: intricate and intelligent lyrics about the fleeting nature of fame, what their art means to them, and obtuse invective aimed at “the mediocre”–backed by the sort of eerie claustrophobic beats that used to be the Underground’s bread and butter. They rap well and for the right reasons. And “Keep It Live,” with Aesop Rock, is one of my favorite songs of the year.
Too often criticism ignores the the consistent in favor of the spectacular and sporadic–it prizes the novel over the dependable. After all, that’s human nature. But that doesn’t mean that Blueprint and Illogic deserve electric purgatory–quite the contrary. It’s the sort of thing they deserve to be paid for. Instead, they’re giving it away for free. On their Band Camp, they wrote the note, “all we ask is that if you like it, PLEASE share it. Post it on your facebook page, retweet it, post it on your myspace, etc. If you have a blog, please post the download link there. We would like the music to reach as many people as possible, and for that we need your help, even if it’s just one person.” So that’s what I’m doing.Tracklist :

AN UNWELCOME GUEST is a hip hop concept album from Twin Cities producer BIG CATS! and rapper GUANTE. Over fifteen tracks, the album tells the story of one man moving from east to west in the wake of a man-made disaster and his own personal tragedy. Also, there are zombies.
The album features guest appearances from HALEY BONAR, PROLYPHIC (of Strange Famous Records), BIG QUARTERS, CHASTITY BROWN and ERIC BLAIR (of Hyder Ali and No Bird Sing). Through the album’s unique narrative frame, these artists join Guante in exploring issues of displacement, authority and the difference between the violence of the oppressor and the violence of the oppressed. Also: zombies.

El nuevo material de Guerrilleroz, grupo de rap de Monterrey, Nuevo León, por fin está disponible en descarga gratis. Se nota la madurez tanto en las producciones como en las líricas, el estilo de guerrilleroz siempre ha sido bastante purista y en esta ocasión lo reafirman sin disfraces, algunos beats me remiten a DJ Muggs vs GZA como influencia directa.
Lo que más me gustó de este disco es que las temáticas se salen de lo común en el rap mexicano, "Donde jugarán los gangstas" que aborda el tema del racismo. En cuanto a colaboraciones destaca una con Serko Fu, hay otra con Apathy que para mi pasa sin pena ni gloria.
En resumen este es un excelente disco de rap duro, que no busca encontrar el hilo negro ni nada por el estilo, pero cumple su cometido al 100%. Tracklist y descarga después del brinco.
Tracklist :
01.Intro
02.Recuento De Los D-Años
03.Operación 2Mil10
04.Hasta Que La Muerte Nos Separe
05.¿Dónde Jugarán Los Gangstas?
06.155 Segundos De Barbarie con Apathy
07.Compas En Crimen
08.Cambia El Script con Serko Fu
09.Un Trago Al Suelo
10.Nadie Nos Detiene con Soldados Del Reyno
11.GRRZ No Está En Venta
12.Como Sin Nada
13.Gracias (Outro)
14.Hijos De Su Pinche Madre (Bonustrack)

Checking in as King Medallion & Arch Angel the two have combined the hardcore verses of Planet Asia and the creative soulful sounds of Architect to make what most are calling the best work from both artists. Look for appearances from Del The Funky Homosapien, Rasco, Turbin, and Holocaust.
