Jean Grae is probably the most relevant femcee out currently, still making moves, and still blessing our ears with her innovations.  Lyrically Jean Grae is top notch, bringing a poetic style to her songs and allowing us access to some of the deeper abyss’ of her mind.  My one problem with Jean is that she sometimes gets monotonous but as with any good lyrical album, it’s best if you can listen to this while you have some time to really pay attention and digest the lyrics.

Production: Da Beatminerz, Ev Price, Koichiro, Masta Ace, Mr. Len, Nasain Nahmeen.

Features: Apani, Block McCloud.

This is one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time.  So solid from start to finish and it tells a story along the way that keeps you interested throughout.  You can tell that Masta Ace has a certain wisdom that most rappers lack.  He can talk about the same topics as other people but his perspective is a little more mature and enlightened.  This album does not disappoint in any way shape or form.

Masta Ace – ‘Brooklyn Masala’

Masta Ace is and always will be a classic emcee.  He influenced countless people who are in the game right now and he is still relevant to this day.  He just released an album last year with Edo G called “Arts & Entertainment” and he came out with an album with eMC (Masta Ace, Punchline, Stricklin & Wordsworth) in 2008 called “The Show”, which was full of dope material.  This album is back from the golden era in his early days when hip hop was more raw & much less polished.  There are some definite bangers on here for real.

So wouldn’t it be cool if Kev D, Large Pro, Masta Ace, Wordsworth and maybe someone like O.C. were all on one album together?  Man that would be some pretty dope ish….ohhh wait ;-) .  Thanks to hip hop producer Marco Polo we have that dreamteam roster put together over raw beats.  Marco Polo spends half his time in New York and half in Toronto so he has the east-coast vibe down pat.  If you just saw a picture of him you wouldn’t think he would have the hip hop “street cred” but then you hear his music and it all makes sense.  This is pretty much as close as you get to that old golden-era type shit in the present day.  And obviously the line-up on this album is insane and all the emcees come correct.  If you like any of the emcees on this album you will be diggin the whole thing through and through.
