Rhymesayers Entertainment drop albums like bombs
This past Tuesday marked the release of Toki Wright’s first full length solo release titled ‘A Different Mirror’. A much anticipated debut from this Minnesota native with special appearances from I Self Divine, Brother Ali and Scarub, this is set to be another highlight from Rhymesayers. I have yet to hear the entire album, but the few tracks I’ve heard confirm that this release will certainly become a part of my collection. A full review will be coming soon.
In other news, July 21st is marked on my calendar for the long awaited third release from Eyedea & Abilities titled ‘By The Throat’, five years since their gem of an album ‘E&A’. According to the Rhymesayers website, ‘By The Throat’ blends “biting guitars, fuzzy keyboards, melodic choruses, and some of their most intricate turntable work to date”. A free download of the track ‘This Story’ has been made available as a sample of what’s to be expected… I have to admit I’m kind of in love with this track and now more than ever I can’t wait for this album.

Also announced is a new album in the works from Brother Ali titled ‘Street Preacher’ which is set to be released in Fall of 2009. This man is blowing up underground hip hop and shows no signs of slowing down.
Here’s a new video for his track ‘Good Lord’ off the recent EP ‘The Truth Is Here’.
