The Problemaddicts

By Baysic
Dope group I got into recently, debut album is a breath of fresh air.

The Problemaddicts are a 5-man squad of emcees assembled by and including Executive Producer Tone, Vorheez, Force, Black Buddha, and 1ne Man sound. Backed by 3-time Valley Advocate DJ of the Year, DJ Theory. I think most of the members of the group are from Massachusetts.

The whole album is produced by Tone and DJ Theory.

Their 16-track LP debut album that released in September (of this year) features Planet Asia & Masta Ace.

Katalyst- What's Happening (2007)

By Baysic
Katalyst is a Australian DJ and producer that produces in a "electronica, turntabilism, and hip hop" mix. Not really like Nujabes, which is Nu-Jazz and I guess, classical hip hop instrumentals. He produces in a different style... see for yourself. "What's Happening" is the only album I've heard from him and I was pretty impressed after hearing it a couple of times. There's only like three tracks with actual rapping, the rest is either soul samples or singers as guest spots.
Features include: J-Live, Diverse, and some Australian rappers I've never heard of (don't worry, they don't have accents...) I merely checked out the album because I thought his name sounded cool and that J-Live & Diverse were on the tracklist... Peep the divshared tracks before the album... you might like it, you might not...
To sum it up, Katalyst's album is a mix of Electronic, Funk / Soul, Hip Hop and Rock.
And there's a dope ass James Brown track... check that out.

Edo G & Pete Rock- My Own Worst Enemy (2004)

By Baysic
I started listening to this album again after I heard that Edo G (Ed O.G.) is teaming up with Masta Ace, one of my favorite rappers of all time, to release an album. They have collaborated already on a track titled "Wishing" on this album, which is why I'm making a post on it. "Wishing" is one of my favorite tracks of all time, everything is nice about it- the three verses and the beat, all amazing.
If you've never heard of Edo G, he's from Boston and he's been in the rap game since '91. You should definetly check out his earlier work, and he's, in my opinion, the best from Boston. Also check out his group's, Special Teamz, album that dropped a week ago. It's pretty good from what I've heard and I'll probably post about it some time.
Most tracks are produced by Pete Rock and although it's short (10 tracks), the whole album has no skippable tracks and it's definetly a gem. Edo G displays his veteran mic skills and it flows well over the Chocolate Boy Wonder's beats. Features include Masta Ace, Diamond D, Jaysaun, and Krumb Snatcha. Pete Rock raps on one of the tracks as well.

1. Boston
2. Just Call My Name feat. Jaysaun
3. Voices
4. School'em
5. Streets Is Callin' feat. Diamond D, Jaysaun
6. Pay The Price feat. Jaysaun
7. Wishing feat. Masta Ace
8. Right Now! feat. Pete Rock
9. Stop Dat feat. Krumb Snatcha, Jaysaun
10. Revolution

I will try to do a "Who's Better?" poll every week. Vote on the right!

Both are talented slept-on artists from Brooklyn and they're similar. They both have lyrics, flow, metaphors and content.
Please hear both artist's material before voting on the poll.

Stimuli
 Crazy lyricist, dope punchlines and nice flow = Stimuli.
I will post a lot of tracks and videos, just watch/listen to all of it and if you want more, PM me for his mixtapes and album (He has a bunch of mixtapes and 1 album/dvd, Switch Sides - 2005)

Skyzoo
You all probably are familiar with Skyzoo... He released an album with 9th Wonder titled "Cloud 9: The 3 Day High" (which was recorded in 3 days) which created him a buzz, and eventually he released a mixtape with known DJ's Mick Boogie and DJ Kay Slay (God, I wish Kay Slay wasn't on the mixtape.. he screams before every track) Anyways, check out the links if you're not familiar with 'zoo.

Jazz Addixx- Oxygen Refreshed

By Baysic
I recently came across the album "Oxygen: Refreshed" by the MC/DJ duo Jazz Addixx that dropped a few weeks ago (it's their debut as well)... I was VERY impressed, as it was one of the best jazz-influenced hip hop albums I've heard recently. The production impressed me the most, DJ Ragz was very nice on the turntables and beats. I've been a fan of production with neo-jazz turntablism and abstract beats and this album clearly has it all..
And for the lyrics, MC Mudd has witty lines and he flows smoothly with the beat.
In all, DJ Ragz is a skilled DJ and beat maker and MC Mudd is a consistent lyricist that comes through with consciousness and intelligence.
This album reminded me of Foreign Exchange's (Phonte + Nicolay) Connected album and if you like Pete Rock & CL Smooth, De La Soul, Gangstarr, you should check this out.
