From: BootSlap http://bootslap.com We have all heard the phrase, "levels to this," right? Insert the ILLUMINATI REJECT project to that sentence and walk away. This project is probably one the strongest ones to meet our review gauntlet. http://bootslap.com/Mixtape--Album-Reviews?articleid=96457&view=post&blogid=7172 Tue, 2 Dec 2014 00:00:00 -0400 The RED SKY album is probably one of the most unique projects we have gotten the chance to review. http://bootslap.com/Mixtape--Album-Reviews?articleid=90057&view=post&blogid=7172 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:00:00 -0400 The Snooze Button is definitely not an album to be taken lightly or slept on.

This is definitely one of THOSE kind of projects. http://bootslap.com/Mixtape--Album-Reviews?articleid=88332&view=post&blogid=7172 Mon, 4 Nov 2013 00:00:00 -0400 There has been a common eclectic theme in the more refined emcees these days, and Black Milk is no exception. His latest release, No Poison No Paradise, can be considered one of his more musically mature projects. http://bootslap.com/Mixtape--Album-Reviews?articleid=88159&view=post&blogid=7172 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 00:00:00 -0400 Joe Stu and Hip Hop producer, D.R.U.G.S. combined to make a project that would exemplify not only the culture of our music; but the struggles and battles that come with being an artist. http://bootslap.com/Mixtape--Album-Reviews?articleid=85342&view=post&blogid=7172 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400 With the cover art of William Cooper's "Behold a Pale Horse," and titled, FIELD VISION, A-M-P makes it clear that his art is more than just rap music. http://bootslap.com/Mixtape--Album-Reviews?articleid=84313&view=post&blogid=7172 Thu, 7 Mar 2013 00:00:00 -0400 Every so often there comes an artist who projects a very sociable personality that is both authoritative and friendly.
