SKY'HIGH "Forever Sky 'High" (2012)

I've always been attracted by female MCs voices. Add to this a beautiful Aussie accent and you almost got me...now it just needs to be good...and Sky'High is really good Hip Hop. Stylish with R&B touch here and there. Her flow has a raw personnality, sometimes more spoken in your face style (Don Dada), sometimes singing just a tiny softer (The Carnival). These beats and melodies are original, smokin' hot and very addictive the more you listen too. This will be in my Top 5 Hip Hop album of 2012 for sure!

 

My favorite tracks in order:

• Death Row
• Where Ya Head At
• The Carnival
• So High
• Don Dada
• Nuclear Love

EL-P "Cancer 4 Cure" (2012)

When the first Breakbeat track "Request Denied" began, I was wondering if I was really listening to EL-P. Yes I was! With this new album, EL-P makes quality Hip Hop, sick beats and combines Breakbeat elements to give an album with his own identity, no copycat...he never did anyway! His flow his intense, sincere and right on the beat. One of my favorite Hip Hop album of the year for sure!
