Free Music Notes for Passage Through Time
Free Music Review: Great album
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are a beathead like me, then you will love this album. If you like Jay Dee or Pete Rock, then you will love this album. If you like underground hip hop, then you will love this album. Enough with the embellishments, this is a great album with beats that sound like a mixture of Pete Rock and Dilla. It's a shame these guys didn't get much play, but in any case this is a solid owner which you will never regret (especially since it's kinda rare).
Passage Through Time Poster
Masters of understated musical eloquence, production trio Da Grassroots have been key figures in the rise of the Toronto hip-hop scene. For their full-length debut, they've recruited a bunch of sharp hometown MCs to bless their tracks. Obviously vinyl junkies, Mr. Attic, Swiff, and Mr. Murray raid their crates to serve up sophisticated arrangements that consistently fit the MCs' flows and deliver head-nodding satisfaction. The snaky guitar loop on "Body Language," featuring Saukrates and Choclair, connects lovely with the lascivious rhyme content, while "Postal Work"'s off- kilter dub workout fuels Mr. Roam's random verbals. Everything from apocalyptic visions ("Last Days") to throwback pass-the-mic sessions ("Revival") are delivered by the MCs, but the trio maintain cohesive sonic control over the proceedings, weaving in a chilled-out instrumental ("Melancholy Blue") and archaic soundbites, to hone a deftly executed platter of complementary beats and rhymes. This is what good music sounds like. --Del F. CowieRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
