Hell yea. Still hoping for a Kool Keith Ray West album, but this sounds great!

[drizzle]

ray west could be the alchemist for old rappers, if things go right

LUV NY was a great start but they needed better mc picks. Ka is an instantly obvious pick for them, and I know West is a huge fan, not sure why it never happened. More Marci and Keith obviously, Samhill could work, could even cokedream about guys like Rae and Ghost getting on there

[unclebengi]

Holy shit Ray West destroys this album. Why doesn't this dude have more beats out there? His beats are like a perfected version of what Ka and Roc Marci are doing, he makes the samples sound live. O.C. holds his own, but this reminds me of the ALC/Prodigy album from last year in that it's hard to tell how good the MCeeing truly is because the the production is so stellar throughout.

Drops tomorrow, tream it here- http://www.djbooth.net/index/albums/rev ... -rays-cafe

Eh. Didn't really care for this EP. I'm not a big fan of the beats that Ray West makes cuz it seems like the majority of them are without drums and I'm not into Folk Rap.

[ardamus]

Do people other than Wicked call this style of production Folk Rap? I thought that handle was reserved for that Aesop Rock Kimya Dawson project.

Not THIS again.

So if there was no sp1200 involved it's not a good beat?

Got this in the mail yesterday and I like it a lot. Always though O.C. sounded best on jazzy laid-back beats, and the production on here fits him perfectly.

wicked changes his definition of 'real hip hop' so much even he doesn't know what it is anymore.

if something like this album cant be called hip hop, its high time for him to find a new genre to terrorize

[Sebastion Shaw]

Really good project. Hints of Jewelz

[sean]

thanks for reminding me to buy this.

[B. Ware tha Siniq]

Didn't have very high hopes for this, but I really like it. These two compliment each other very well.

[aeokq]

Just discovered this album. Fuckin love these two songs, particularly the sample in the first one.





Don't care much for the others.
