Eyedea and Abilities - By the Throat
(CD/2xLP) Rhymesayers Entertainment RS0111CD/RS0111LP, 2009-10-05
After a five year break exploring new sounds and building their personal repertoires, the dynamic duo of Eyedea & Abilities return with the follow up to their 2004 critically acclaimed sophomore album E&A. With biting guitars, fuzzy keyboards, melodic choruses, and some of their most intricate turntable work to date, By The Throat cuts right to the vein and advances far beyond Eyedea & Abilities battle tested history (winners of HBO Blaze Battle, Rocksteady, Scribble Jam and the DMC's). Throughout the nineties the duo played an important role in the development of the emerging underground Hip Hop scene alongside friends Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, EL-P, the Living Legends, Sage Francis, Blueprint and more. Always pushing the boundaries, Eyedea & Abilities have not only grown but have elevated their talents and once again successfully brought them together with By The Throat.

Brother Ali - Us
(CD/2xLP) Rhymesayers Entertainment, 2009-09-21
Brother Ali's last album, the critically acclaimed, The Undisputed Truth, was a landmark in hip-hop, an album that carried weight equally with critics and fans alike, an album of bold statements and bolder beats, politically and socially aware without being preachy. His new album, Us, is a progression that will make Brother Ali one of the most enduring figures in hip-hop; while still aware, Ali has turned his gaze inward, and started examining the human condition from the outside in. A profound personal glimpse into a vulnerability seldom seen or heard in music, Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see.
As with previous endeavors, the beats here are courtesy of Ant, whose production work seems to be getting more soulful and lush by the minute.

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Hip Hop Non Stop
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-09-18
Hip Hop isn't only the mainstream shit they try to feed you with. Hip Hop is vigorously alive, if you consider the huge amount of albums, singles and mixtapes released each week. In the vein of our It's The New Hip Hop Thing compilation issued on CD thru the Vibrations label last February, here's another snapshot on today's cool and groovy Hip Hop, with the unique Paris DJs perspective.

Abstract Rude - Rejuvenation
(CD/2xLP) Rhymesayers, 2009-05-05
As a product of the legendary Goodlife open mic sessions, Abstract Rude
splashed onto the scene in 1994 as part of the famed Project Blowed
crew that included LA's Freestyle Fellowship and Aceyalone. As one half
of the A-Team (with Aceyalone), one third of Haiku D'Etat (with
Aceyalone & Myka 9) and frontman of his group Abstract Tribe Unique
(ATU), Ab Rude has endeared himself to fans worldwide through
consistent touring and genre defining albums such as 1999's South
Central Thynk Tank (currently out of print). Once signed to the Beastie
Boys Grand Royal imprint, Ab has readied himself to re-emerge with
Rhymesayers Entertainment and his most consistent and focused work to
date, Rejuvenation. Produced entirely by Seattle super producer Vitamin
D (G-Unit, Redman, Young Buck, Gift of Gab, Choklate, Lifesavas, Black
Sheep, etc.), Rejuvenation is a hard hitting soulful ryde showcasing Ab
Rude's distinct and unlimited vocal styling.
