Free Music Notes for Ahead Of The Basics
Free Music Review: One of Detroit's finest! (4 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
Nametag has been one of my favorite rookies within the passing year, and it's thanks to his fine debut album "Ahead Of The Basics". He definitely proves he's FAR ahead of the basics here with an excellent lineup of beats and rhymes. Lyrically, Nametag is an excellent writer and an excellent rapper. He's not totally mind-blowing, but his notably clever word play, writing, smooth flows and humor has me constantly spinning this disc.
Nametag must've made some waves in Detroit, because Black Milk & Magnif (along with a couple tracks from Black Bethoven) provide the album with very strong, and appealing production. Some great guests stop by to make the album shine on the posse track of the album "Action Pack" featuring B. Stromz, BroadCast & OnPoint. In the end, it's Nametag himself who makes this effort so pleasing. The midwest is making waves in the hip-hop game, and even if Nametag is fairly unknown, it serves as an excellent slice of the hip-hop pie in 2007-08. My favorites are "The Intro", "Ahead Of The Basics", "In The Soul", "Tell 'Em", "So Raw", "About You", "Anotha Club Hit", "Heated", "Two Perspectives" (probably my favorite). Don't sleep!
