VC - By His Deeds (7'' Digital Noize Production) 2000

VC prove that even if you're a baldhead you can make good conscious tunes, or act right in your everyday life. I really like this single, the riddim isn't that good but it's all about what he says and how he says it.

"Sitting in your church on Sunday
Thinking who you gonna screw Monday
Who you gonna thief, who you gonna rob
Take it that me tell you
Say, you can't fool God, no.."

Mash Out Posse - Ground Zero / Hilltop Flava (No Sleep Til Brooklyn) (Family First Productions) 2004

I don't listen to Rock at all, nor white music, but when it's mixed with Hip Hop it's all good for me. They're not the first who do that (of course Run DMC, Public Enemy & Anthrax, Boo Yaa Tribe's "Bang Your Head" to name a few) but their flow fits well into this type of production...

Various Artists - Street Level Presents (Street Level Records) 2002

This is the first full lenght LP released by Swedish label Street Level after few 12 Inches releases that had good critics in the press and the public, the best ones are compiled here with new tracks. Including 1999's Promoe's (from Looptroop Crew) classic Off The Record plus a remixed version. Other titles features Group Home, 8-Off, Agallah, as well as a french group called Interactif Crew (which I've never heard about before that...), and of course there's swedish MC's also (only one track is not in english). Usually I don't listen Rap from other countries than US or France but this one is pretty good compilation...



There's two swedish track that uses the same Michel Gonet's Flower Dance sample from his 1976 album Phasing News Vol 2. First one is from 1998, it's Thomas Rusiak feat. PeeWee - Suckers ; the other one is Off The Record and was released in 1999.
