The album itself comes with 14 tracks that revolve around easy-listening, hip hop music. With likable beats and smooth rhythm, the album exudes a retro vibe throughout. It's a lot like listening to a 90s rap/hip hop record with a very slight modern twist.

Echoing a 90s hiphop sound, Prosthetik Intelligentz' music focuses on good beats, simple and meaningful lyrics, and groovy vibes throughout. What started as a couple of minutes of listening time turned into an entire day. By the time I was done with the review, I had the album downloaded on my player and was playing it as a background to the rest of my day.
This amazing duo is currently based in NC and consider themselves creating "thought-provoking Hip-Hop." Listening to the record, this isn't hard to see. In fact, they're one of the few hip hop groups that make you want to listen to the lyrics apart from the awesome beats. B. Doom and Ezzie B. are the brainchild of this enjoyable crew. It's one of those albums you shouldn't miss.

Creating his own mark in the hip hop scene, D'Lyfa Reilly is a young rapper from Manchester, UK. Heavily influenced by life and various people surrounding him, the artist creates a mix of rap and trip hop sprinkled with moody beats and lyrics.
D'Lyfa is also co-founder of Red IQ, a hip hop group out of Manchester. As a solo artist, you can expect plenty of laid-back beats, solid rhythms and trippy sounds all over his tracks. Most of it is pretty likable especially if you like British infused hip hop.
Sewing Seeds is actually a compilation of tracks the artist recorded and released between 2009 and 2010.

The Land of Make Believe, an album filled with some of the most wonderfully uplifting and playful sounds I heard in a long while, comes to us thanks to a special collaboration between an accomplished musician, BJ Block, and Dawn Pemberton, one of Vancouver's most powerful voices. And with all the masterfully crafted lyrics and an amazingly refreshing combination of soul, RnB, jazz, and funk, the album might turn to be exactly what most of us were looking for to fill those lovely April days.
With the strong belief that good music is meant to be heard in all corners of the world, Bj and Dawn decided to distribute the album under CC license and with a little help of FrostWire we hope that those delightful sounds will find their way across the oceans.
