Émission du 5 septembre 2007

7 ans...

Malheureusement, on ne garde pas le compte du nombre d'émissions que nous avons fait. Toutefois, nous savons que l'émission existe depuis l'automne 2000. Ça vaut donc dire que nous fêtons, cet automne nous entamons notre 7e année sur les ondes ou sur le web... Props à toute les radios qui nous ont appuyé (L'Orage du cegep du Vieux-Montréal et Choq.fm) !!! Et surtout, props à tous nos auditeurs, qui chillaient dans le café étudiant ou qui download le podcast, qui font que nous existons toujours... C'est avec grande joie que nous célèbrerons au cours des premières émissions de cette nouvelle session!!!

Ce soir à l'émission,

On vous fait écouter des nouveautés de Erick Sermon, Da Beatminerz, Kanye West & Brand Nubian. À part ça, on vous présente Fresh Daily, Boom Bap Projects et Bored Stiff. On vous kick aussi le classique shit que vous aimez. Check it out!

Download le show ici!

Album de la semaine: Y Society (Insight & Damu) - Travel at your Own Pace (Du vrai bon boom bap tel que vous l'aimez)

Diction's Review:

@@@@

Insigth is the most under-appreciated rap artist of the past few years. Every year he releases the sleeper of the year, starting from 2002's "Updated Software" up to Electric's album "Life's a Struggle" and his excellent "Blast Radius". 2005 & 2006 saw him release 2 japanese exclusive albums with his Solo Plexus project and the Shin Sight Trio project. Solo Plexus was Insight showing off his skills as 6 diferent MC's, while Shin Sight Tro was a more jazz-rap boom bap type of album. He dug up Shin-Ski for that one, a rather unknown japanese producer but with so much talent (as he displayed on the SST album). Y Society sees Insight once again hooking with an unknown producer, this time it's Damu the DJ from Panacea. That's rigth the DJ, not the producer. I don't know if I ever heard a Damu prior to this album. This guy might be unknown but his beats are fucking outstanding. Insight saw that and snatched him up I guess. This is another project where Insight doesn't produce, but once again I'm not dissapointed at all in the beats. The beats are thick & hard with dope basslines always and he compliments the tracks with dope scratching. A strong influence in funk and jazz, this would appeal to Tribe fans. Insight raps about everyday life type shit, he's easy to relate to. He's got excellent technique, a dope flow and I love his voice. The whole album has a really cohesive sound, especially with the little instrumentals to hold the tracks together (reminiscent of "Mecca & the Soul Brother"). All the songs are dope and Insight once again proves that he's the shit. Will people listen this time? Who knows... All I know is that I'm enjoying this album a whole lot.

Damu got a little following on Youtube from posting his original beats as well as his remakes of classic joints. Usually a single hand held shot of just his MPC while he triggers the MPC sequences. He captured that forgotten 90's boom bap. Check him out at http://youtube.com/dopegraffhead
