Week of July 25th-August 1st
Masters Of The Universe ©2000 Subterraneous Records
Binary Star- This raw track is from the minds of two members (One Be Lo and Senim Silla), who together formed up Binary Star. This was an extremely talented Hip Hop duo that released its latest CD Masters Of The Universe, in 2000. One Be Lo and Senim Silla have not made another album since that last drop in 2000. One Be Lo stated "there was no real chemistry... and it ain't going to work." The song titled "Reality Check" found on this album (video above) is easily one the top hip hop songs of this decade.
Week of July 18th - July 25th
Nujabes- Born "Jun Seba", Nujabes was a very talented Japanese hip hop producer. He released two albums in Japan, Metaphorical Music in 2003 and Modal Soul in 2005. Nujabes worked with Japanese artist Shing02 as well as with some Underground Hip Hop artist from the states such as Cise Star and Akin (Cyne). Nujabes and Cyne collaborated to create the track above named "Feather" which is one of those songs you can leave on repeat 'till the batteries rot!
R.I.P. Nujabes- thanks for all the ill beats! (February 7, 1974 - February 26, 2010)
