Myka 9 - A Work In Progress
To speak honestly, it was hard for meeee to like that album for a very long time. It has solid beats but on some tracks I would have expected Myka to be more serious and more skilled like he used to be on It's All Love. Some tracks stand out from the average but then there is for example a track that is called "This ain't the shit". I think that it must have been the reason why I always underestimated this album but I'm happy that I haven't sold it! Besides some tracks its really a hidden treasure and a nice treat for fans of Myka. Be sure to peep The THIRDMAN's Blog where you can find the vinyl version with selected tracks from this album that was released by 247 records from Sweden.

Mikah 9 - Citrus Sessions
Eleven years have past and the "Citrus Sessions" is what "It's All Love" could have been and what "A Work In Progress" prepared, a professional studio album . For Citrus Sessions alot of cats jumped on the train, its not only Mikah9 and Joseph Leimberg anymore but there are features of P.E.A.C.E. and his cousin K.I.T.S., Javis, Stix and Abstract Rude. Tracy Lane adds soulful background vocals to the album while you can find scratches from Exile of Emanon on the track "Me And My Girl". Headnodic produced "Viles" and "Everybody Gets Down" who was identified on my radar this year with his "Headnodic Beats Vol 1" release. Mike Meeker played various instruments and also produced some tracks and is also the executive producer. Ah, and there is also an appearance of DJ Kiilu, who produced the outro.
When this album was about to be released, Mikah9 put up he whole album as a free download because he said that someone else sold it without his permission. I have added this download release below plus some tracks that were also available as a free download from myka9.com including the track "Lost 4 Days" featuring KoKo that didn't make it on the album nor the EP. "Soiree" and "The People" were only on the EP.
The album deals with various themes in various styles, boring is something else...
