Soloman Gehazi – Street Gospel Vol. 2 @SolomanGehazi @Remnantmuzic @UKRunnings @ParkStreetPR Review

11428017_910466978999908_1807854328359680093_n

Christian Rap, sometimes known as Christian hip-hop, is a real up-and-coming genre in the music industry and in the last year has become extremely popular in the USA. The whole idea of this genre is to spread the message of Christianity both spiritually and musically. That is something I feel Soloman Gehazi has done well and the fact he is British makes it all that more interesting. To be honest the Christian Rap that I have heard I haven’t been that impressed with, but as with any release I review I approach it with an open mind.

With features from guest appearances from D7, The Praying Mantis, DJ Amo, Tommy Oliver, Deonne, T33k1d, Jae Sosa, Wiggz, Big Ribzy, Young Weddaz , Alex Campbell, Corban, Radical and production from by Viggers, Nangfood, Termite, Mastaplanet, Soloman Gehazi has used the longest running mixtape series in UK Hip-Hop as a launch pad for this monster twenty five track release. Hosted by UK veteran Tricksta (Park Street PR, Beats & Bars, etc), the tape is not something I would expect to hear as part of the UK Runnings series but definitely isn’t of place in their catalogue.

This is authentic Hip-Hop music, this is Boom Bap and not every track goes on a deep religious tip, there’s a whole bunch of quality tracks that are uplifting and positive, conscious if not for a better word, so my immediate thoughts and pre-judgements got squashed as soon as I heard flows over Pete Rock and Apollo Brown production. The whole tape is ‘of a quality’ but there are some real gems on this mixtape. My only criticism is that maybe twenty-five tracks is a bit too long for a mixtape, especially is 2015. Don’t let that pit you off though, please grab it and get up on music that is a bit deeper than just drugs, women, violence and road talk. Impressed, very impressed.

New mixtape release from Wrigz available for FREE from http://www.itswrigz.com

“I decided I was done with allowing the industry to construct my goals and potentially define who I am. I wanted to get back in touch with every aspect of what I want and who I actually am, whilst respecting the need to express through my art. I thought back to the beginning; what were my aims? what were my aspirations? where did my values lie? when did the understanding of respect, love, pride and dignity become over shadowed with concepts of money, views, fame, attention and status?

I decided it was time to X out the bullshit! It’s like possessing an identity given to me by a slave master, with that said I was able to revert back to the essence and find my true identity within music and at that point I realised…this is rebel music ~ It’s time to Rebel!” PROJECT X

UK Runnings Presents Alex-is ‘Relevant English Rhymes’ (Hosted by Tricksta) Mixtape Review @ALEX_iS_UK @UKRunnings @ParkStreetPR

Quirky in parts, seriously adventurous in others, ‘Relevant English Rhymes’ is the new mixtape from Wolverhampton rapper Alex-is and has been released under the UK Runnings brand, a mixtape series that has previously done mixes with the likes of Braydz, Big Cakes, Tbear, Novar and more. Never envisioning himself as a pigeon-holed rapper, he has laid the foundation with this excellent collection. I found this release a constantly evolving entity, with songs that have a style that doesn’t waste too much time getting the point across. Conceptually diverse and solid throughout this is something all UK Hip-Hop heads need to check for. You can catch Alex-is performing at this year’s Boom Bap festival.

B Genius – Galactic Universal Language (Hosted by @TrickstaUK) #Review @Hollowvisons @BGeniusHV @UKRunnings @ParkStreetPR

10603195_10152692362574851_5011145875139326292_n

B Genius translates his world and life for public consumption in the form of this new mixtape with UK Runnings. Being real this is the first time I’ve heard of this emcee but from researching about him he has back catalogue too. This is probably a good place to start though as it is bar far his biggest release to date. With a great artwork look to go with a nice solid Hip-Hop sound, B Genius has this somewhat unique way and ability to translate his life into hip-hop with ease. The mixtape is best described as an underground classic.

This year has seen a new generation of emcee’s that have become cultural messengers, this is a good thing for real hip-hop music fans and the culture as a whole. B Genius invokes the honesty that made me instantly think he is very likeable and immediately you can hear his romance with the music. The life of a struggling MC is touched on as his are his dreams and aspirations, but if the idea with this release was establish himself as someone with the ability to be a capable MC, then the good has been done.

B Genius – Galactic Universal Language (Track-list):

01. Barz (Produced by Citizen Kane)
02. Chasing (Produced by session 600)
03. High Feat. Conscience Johnson, Dragz & Stella Walton (Produced By Brad Piff)
04. Too Much Feat. Reckless.(Produced by Citizen Kane)
05. Care Free (Produced by Birdydogg)
06. Ordinary Love Feat. Stella Walton (Produced by Citizen Kane)
07. Square One Feat. Conscience Johnson (Produced by Brad Piff)
08. Sell My Soul (Produced by Citizen Kane)
09. Me V Me (Produced by Citizen Kane)
10. The One (Produced by K2)
11. Where Am I Going (Produced by Session 600)
12. Path Of the Beast Feat. Killa Virus
13. Visions Of Terror Feat. Conscience Johnson & Terra Artists (Produced by B Genius)
