MH-201 Boom Bip & Doseone - Circle  A Birdcatcher in a no-piece suit and a Town Crier in the round, Circle is the critically acclaimed full-length from vocalist Doseone and producer Boom Bip. The New York Times has named Circle one of the "Top-Ten Worthwhile Albums of the Year" and the duo have been rewarded with over a dozen artist profiles including a feature in The Wire and nods to Doseone as Spin's "Incoming" and CMJ's "On the Verge" artist-of-the-month. A cohesive work of word and sound that ends where it begins and emulates the child within, Circle combines honest word and live instrumentation with an amalgam of sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties compositions. Doseone does it all, prose at light speed, in slow speak, and even bird calls. Circle is at once like everything and nothing before it - and what comes next will not be the same. |

| There are some crazy songs on this record. I'd call it hip-hop-art-indie core. There are some weird background, birdcalls, and some crazy rhyme styles. There's some spoken-word and some crazy flowing from Doseone. This is like no other hip-hop cd because it's like a piece of art. No pissed-off gangsters here, just some new shit to freak your speakers with. Try it out - it's something new and different. Don't be a little wuss. - Transworld Surf |
