Telling it like it is

Over the last month or so I've been listening almost exclusively to the Leaders of the New Cool mixtape. I've really enjoyed it and I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone about it yet so get ready for a spray.

The Knux remain a group worth checking out. You should buy their album Remind Me in 3 Days. So should I. Maybe you can buy it for me. ;)


I've tried out the Pacific Division before and been unimpressed but this time they totally won me over. They bring a Brand Nubian sort of style on the track Wake Up. More work needs to be done here.



B.o.B is cool. I'd seen his name floating around and never chased him up. Now I with I'd done it earlier. He's got something of The Teacher about him but is less preachy. He's just dropped a mixtape which I haven't listened to yet but that'll be my next port of call.



The Cool Kids are the most vacuous group in hip hop which quite possibly makes them the most vacuous group in music. Still, they've got their charm and 'Delivery Man' is enjoyable.


Some people laud Charles Hamilton as if he's the future of hip hop but I can't see it. He can be ok but is totally hit and miss.


I'd dismissed Mickey Factz before but this mixtape has given me some respect for him. When I listen to him I think of all that Kanye might have been. I don't think I'd get his cd but his presence on the 'tape is cool.


Tanya Morgan is a strange name for a group of three male rappers. I'm really into Tanya Morgan for Von Pea and I'd prefer it if Von Pea, Elucid and Spec Boogie teamed up as a group. Still, Tanya Morgan are worth a listen. Von Pea also has a mixtape for you to download.

Check out this interview of The Knux with Jeff Weiss. They've got passion, creativity and lots of opinions and I like that. I'm looking forward to their album which is out 28/10.
