Repping the midwest by way of L.A., Felt 2 is the latest gem from the Rhymesayers label. I didn’t know anyhing about until I asked the girl at the Plan 9 counter about it. She got really excited to sell it so I figured I might be on to something. Turns out she was right.
Murs and Slug are smooth mc’s and Ant’s production (that you know and love from Atmosphere) is silly-tight.
This is an awesome, awesome Summertime album. To me, this is what hip-hop is supposed to feel like. It satisfies the “bitches/hoes/guns” trifecta without sounding thugged out or abusive and the beats are smooth. I like this way more than that last Atmosphere. I bet it’s the L.A. flavor that makes it better. Thank you Murs.
“Early Mornin’ Tonywill definitely be on my Year’s Best. It’s got a banging beat, and it’s full of classic hip-hop hat tips (if you know then you know and if you don’t, it’s still a hot sound), “Lookin’ at my Nixon, it’s about that time!”, followed by the Beastie-based “4 and 3 and 2 and 1, and when I’m on the mic…”This is the good
shit. Tell me what you think.
