The Persuasion Of Art

I can remember an old friend of mine who had the luck to stay in down-under for half a year. He had a good time over there and what I can also remember is that he bought this tape there. It is a collection of tracks from various artists. Some of these tracks taken from the artists albums, some aren't! Track I don't know exactly if they were released somewhere else are:

• Daysmen Empire - Recognize The Fact
• Global Phlowtations - Outlooks
• Da Golden Ray - 4-Sided Room
• The Earthlings - In A Minute
• Animal Pharm - Brand New Sound [Sonicosmonauts]
• Abstract Rude & Lil Aaron - Our Guide

Various - The Persuasion Of Art

Maleko - Omnidirectional

You probably wonder why I'm upping so much Maleko stuff today. Today I found some older links that are still working and I thought about sharing the music with you. As you can see on the picture of the cover there are a lot of artists on this album, so much that I am not able to tag them all! Here is a citation from P-Minus:
The mighty Maleko cranks out another winner with 18 lovely tracks featuring ALL of your favorite underground emcees and producers: Tommy V., Raj, Randy & Psuedo (Lip Service), Neila, Da Golden Ray, Jundax,  Ian, Space Ranger, Ceschi & David Ramos (Anonymous Inc.), Enzyme (Organics), Rage, Agile, Triangulum, Matre, Radioinactive, Autoflo, Optimus Rhymes, Deeskee, Nocturnal Ron, Mr. Slugsworth, Gunther B., Jericho J., Kiko, WD4D, Anti-MC and PBoFA.

That's almost 73 minutes of wonderful stuff that proves that the northern California underground hip hop scene is one of the most vibrant and collaborative around.

Maleko - Nocturnal Journals

Look what I have left over. Although my CDr isn't readable anymore I still have an older rip of this album. It is completely produced by Joe Dub and recorded by Deeskee and Tommy V. It features WD4D and Dave Redeye on the decks and raps from Joe Dub, Da Golden Ray, Ian, Pilot Rase, Administer, Agile, Confucius and Space Ranger. One of my favorite tracks on this is "Concepts" featuring Da Golden Ray and Ian of Private School on a funky beat. It is obvious that Maleko and Da Golden Ray make a good duo if you also check the track "Second Wind" off the Strictly Indee compilation....
