Prolyphic & Reanimator – “Ugly Truth, The ” – [Strange Famous Records]

This is what indie rap is all about: a strong hip hop collaboration between an emcee with something to say and a DJ/producer who surrounds him with dense and interesting music. Prolyphic spits his down-to-earth lyrics, confident and fearless, on top of multi-layered beat backgrounds that no doubt inspire him to hit even harder. Reanimator sets a new standard for DJ/producers; his music is a show all by itself; hugely dynamic, constantly surprising, always pushing things forward. Can’t wait for this team to drop the next project on us. Guests: Macromantics (4) and B. Dolan/Alias/Sage Francis (6)
