Asta e o trupa de genu "tripu din ultima vreme" la mine.
I-am descoperit de mult timp da abea acuma m-am fixat pe ei si oamenii sunt o combinatzie intre Wu-AOTP-Psychorealm pe care o gasesc irezistibila...super delivery-uri..super flows..niste subiecte imbecile..la modu bun si productzii super sweet...Pt o idee generala ...recomand "Prom quiz" "they do exist" sau "bombs and chemicals".....mai jos va bag un short bio de la ai lor despre materialu din 2005-Deadlivers..oricum...Rhymesayers ar trebui sa spuna tot despre cum o ard ei..m-a surprins faptu ca nu le-am vazut o rubrica pe aici..cine crede ca merita sa mai continue cu info despre ei pt popor..e binevenit..mie-mi plac rau.

Hailing from the overcast gray skies of Seattle, Washington - a land where, it is said, 50% of the population is clinically depressed, and the other half wards off depression through a relentless obsession with cappuccinos - the music of Rhymesayers' newest signees, Grayskul, definitely falls into the former percentage. Tracks "Bombs and Chemicals", "Hatred", and "Do They Exist" are all fine examples of why people have pegged Grayskul as one of the most depressing groups to ever come on to the scene of northwest hip hop. However, just because many of their songs are sad, that definitely does not mean they lyrical prowess or musical abilities suffer as a result. Take for example this excerpt from "Cursive," featuring ubiquitous Definitive Jux artist Mr. Lif:

"This is who I am now, thoughts ran wild
Punches of the day's strength in the man-child
Eyes open - scopin my peers, openin beers
Cheers, here's to, the various styles open your ear to
Care to partake in heartbreak? But some emotions are fake
Try to stake claim in a snake's frame"

The intricate and interlaced wordplay of this six-bar segment does not fully do justice to some of the glimpses of greatness found on Deadlivers. However, between many of these segments of amazing insight lie rather mediocre lyrics and, at times, a delivery that lets their content down.

The same can be said about the production of the album. At times, it is exceptional - the bouncy sing-song sound of "Prom Quiz" or the tranquil sound-scape of "Cursive" for instance. At other times, though, the instrumentals are only so-so. And, while I am of the school that you cannot truly have a great song without great lyrics, I also believe the listener wont give your song a second listen without a memorable beat. But, on the whole, the production does not disappoint too drastically, and it's great to see an album that flows together well as a whole, rather than singles created and thrown together in no particular order.

If Grayskul can find it in their arsenal to expand outside of their lyrical comfort zone, i.e. depression, gothicism, etc. there is no doubt in this reviewer's mind they could be one of the most powerful forces on an increasingly interesting Rhymesayers roster. Perhaps escaping Seattle and seeing the sun for once will help them achieve said statement.

Zi-le si tu cine este copiii astia...Onry Ozzborn si JFK din Oldominion, mai cunoscuti pentru unii ca vatra a deja consacratilor Boom Bap Project, plus un basist. O ard destul de "negru", ceea ce poate parea foarte cool pentru unii...Mai au scoase proiecte, chiar si anul asta - "Name In Vain" se numeste. Onry are album solo...Verificati. Chiar merita.
