Filling a request for Wiie.

Buy

Launched in 2004 by hip-hop outfit the Roots, Okayplayer Records here presents the first volume in a projected series. TRUE NOTES VOL. 1 is an impeccably hip collection of revered artists, including the ground-breaking DJ RJD2 and LA rappers … Full DescriptionDilated Peoples, and relative unknowns Nicolay & Supastition, whose hilarious “The Williams” (about a surplus of bills, hence the title) is a highlight.

Dilated Peoples’ “Okay” is one of the most self-assured tracks on offer here, but Jean Grae takes the honors for the collection’s most rambunctious performance with her effervescent “Fall Back.” RJD2 turns up again to produce Roots associate Dice Raw on the strangely relaxed “I Do What I Like,” and Virginia rapper Skillz is in his usual take-no-prisoners mode on “Take It Back.” TRUE NOTES VOL.1 is both a labor of love for its creators and a fine mix of established and up-and-coming hip-hop artists

So DeLaRap requested these yesterday… perfect timing. I just recently noticed how few older hip-hop albums we have so I plan to start upping some 80s – late 90s stuff in the very near future. If you don’t recognize Hieroglyphics as the collective (and you take a major L if you don’t) then maybe you’ll recognize names such as Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Opio, A+, or Tajai (not all of the members or associated acts, but those are all of the members who have recently dropped material). Anywho, this group was one of Oaklands biggest acts during the 90s and still remains one of the best to date. I def recommend checking some of the material below for newbs and fans and If you’ve neglected to listen to other material by Hieroglyphics you must def check on their first few studio LPs (as well as on some Souls of Mischief).

Posted some P.U.T.S. a while back and had to post this as soon as I saw it. For the ultimate P.U.T.S. fan or just for those who are trying to get into them (which it isn’t hard to do). Any fan of that Ol’ Boom Bap in the tradition of West Coast groups like Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, Living Legends and The Pharcyde will dig this one. As always if you like it, buy it here.
