Set to drop on April 6, 2010 is Loose Logic’s latest record Logistics.

Loose Logic has been around in the LA scene for a while. He won “Best Hip-Hop Artist of The Year” at the 2007 All Access Magazine Music Awards as well as “Best Urban (Rap) Artist of the Year” at the 2007 Orange County Music Awards. In addition, he graced the cover of Orange County’s What’s Up magazine, and has been featured in the Orange County Register, OC Weekly, Huntington Beach Gazette, and Skinnie magazine. Loose Logic was named a “Top 100 Unsigned Artist” for 2007 by Music Connection magazine. Most recently he was featured on Vapors.com

Kicking it off with a bang on the Logistics record straight from the “Intro” track. Loose Logic has lots of other artists joining forces with him on this album to bring you some rawness that sounds like it’s straight from the cassette. Favorite tracks include: “Intro,” “International Cyberspace,” “Don’t Stop Lovin’ Me,” and “Losing My Mind.”

When listening, can’t help but shake thoughts of Detroit’s hip hop group D12, which included member Eminem. Warren G style as well as Timbaland production are brought to mind on certain tracks.

Overall, the production and flows on the record are clean and tight. Nothing but professional here. So when the release drops, if you’re into good hip hop, chances are you’ll enjoy this.

Okay, so the original version of this track by Ke$ha is pretty damn catchy, but TheWerd perfected it with his remix. Now it’s right up our alley, whereas before it was just another catchy pop joint.

Fallen House, Sunken City is produced by Alias with guest appearances from P.O.S. (Rhymesayers) and Cadence Weapon (Anti-)

Strange Famous releases B. Dolan’s latest and most powerful album, Fallen House, Sunken City on March 2, 2010.

Dolan has already established himself as a master storyteller, but this time through he presents us with a full-throttle, unabashed, boombap hiphop record. You know, the kind of hiphop that was too grimy for mass consumption so it was declared “dead” by the unelected powers that be? With Alias behind the production board, B. Dolan’s aggressive delivery is accentuated by a special brand of bass-heavy breakbeats while the tailor made musical backdrops assist in the mood of impending doom.

The first single, “50 Ways to Bleed Your Customer,” draws on Dolan’s experience with Knowmore.org (a consumer-activist website he created with Sage Francis in 2005) with lyrics that make direct references to the atrocities caused by such companies as Coca-Cola, Nestle, Halliburton and Caterpillar. The other theme in this song is the parallel between rappers and republicans, portraying corporate America as the alpha hustler and hip-hop ideal.

It was on Sage Francis’ “Death Dance Tour” in 2007 that Alias and Dolan first conceived the idea of working on a full album together. At its heart, “Fallen House, Sunken City” is a record full of focused experimentation that would rather lead by example than romance the dead.

“Economy of Words” finds Alias executing dubstep rhythms, “Body of Work” has Dolan exploring the mindset of a sex worker, and “Border Crossing” has a Providence marching band playing throughout.

Unlikely as it is, the two New England natives have crafted a sound rooted with authority in the best traditions of hiphop, with enough irreverence, energy, and vision to deface its tombstone and reanimate the corpse. This is post-rap, psychedelic-hop horrorcore politics.

Welcome to B. Dolan.
Welcome to a new breed of emcee.
Hip Hop is Undead.
