It's a partial preview of the onslaught of full-length releases to come forward from the Mush generator, a spirited gathering of the most prolific underground artists in hip-hop. If some of the names are not yet familiar, this is your wake-up call. Spanning the completely experimental to the sound classic, Ropeladder 12 assembles the most hungry and talented artists of our generation. From bare bones beats to orchestral soundtracks, the music is of its own kind and standard. From meticulous rhyme to boisterous free-verse, the poetry is irreplaceable. Over thirty contributing artists share with Mush, their most unforgettable works. |

| A new(ish) label launches its program with a stunner of a compilation. Highlights include the awesome Radioinactive, Labtekwon, So-Called Artists, Jel, Aesop Rock, and Reaching Quiet (some Jonathan Richman hip-hop shock). If the comp occasionally steers a little close to trip-hop, jazzbeat, and other horrors, it never reaches them and the six acts mentioned create enough thought for most double CD monsters. Strange, beautiful, and stunning. Release of the month. 5/5 - Muzik |
