Oct 20th is going to be an incredible day for hip-hop fans. Looks like Camp Lo is joining the fold of great artists releasing an album on that date. So far Wale,Rakim,The Roots and the Clipse are confirmed to release on that day. I am thinking somebody will need to push their release date back because it doesn’t make good business sense to drop all this heat at once(especially during a recession). I want to see indie and mid-level artists win, so I still purchase albums but I hope who ever is in charge of all of the projects mentioned realize they can hurt their sales opportunity by releasing material at the same time as other notable artists who share their niche. Their is only so much paper to go around these days.
I attached “Black Connect 3″ from the camp lo album above for you listening pleasures. It is a solid Camp Lo joint. Ski tends to bring out the best in these guys because this feels like the Camp Lo from their first album. I would have liked the track to drop into a more open bass driven track with the melody line being the one dominant in the sample rather than the looped style track Ski provided. The track was solid but I think the for mentioned adjustment would have made a great difference and made the beat less monotonous. Also lyrical rappers like Camp Lo need more open tracks to showcase their talents and tracks with built in vocal samples can take away from that. All in All it is another dope connection for Suede,Cheeba and SKi. I look forward to the album and this is in my ipod on repeat.
Peace
