Free Music Notes for DecompositionFree Music Review: Best underground album heard in a long time Hit: 5 StarsDecompoze - Decomposition: I'd never heard the album just knew the Binary Star stuff. This is one of those gems. Decompoze is the best underground Hip Hop I've heard to date. Production is good quality and his flows are conscious, wicked feature artists. You'll be into the album off one listen. True Hip Hop at its finest.
Free Music Review: Decompoze doesn't decompose... Hit: 4 StarsAnd this album is more than deserving of 4 stars, not just because it's a Subterreneous product with much Binary Star infleunce. Decompoze, mostly an MC producer, clearly represents the lyrical intellect and genuity that helped Binary Star achieve critical acclaim. And I love this album because One Be Lo has his footprints all over it.
The only disappointment in this album lies with songs like "Decomposition", "Same Song" and "React" that have great production but are only used as intros or interludes, not being utilized to their full potential. The soft and mellow jazz melodies emblematizes the Subterrenous-esque production of this album; it's very relaxing! A good number of songs discuss his love life like "Mica (Phone Check)", "Chocolate Shake" and "Brand Nu" ft. Buf 1 & Illite.
My favorite tracks on this album include "Mica (Phone Check)", "Brand Nu" ft. Buf 1 & Illite, "Good Vibe" ft. 14KT, and "Heart of the Matter". I like "Freakin Flo's", a One Be Lo collaboration cannot go wrong. The album concludes with "Indy 500", a modest and honest view on their position in Hip-Hop. I strongly recommend this album if you are a Binary Star or Subterrenous Records fan.
Free Music Review: This is THE year for the Binary Star collective! Hit: 5 StarsFor the uninitiated, Binary Star (One Many Army [aka. One Be Lo], Senim Silla & Decompoze) released the album "Waterworld" back in 1999, and was later remixed and re-released in 2000 under the name "Masters Of The Universe". The album received high praise from critics and fans alike, and is rightly considered a classic. Not until 2005 would One Be Lo drop his breathtaking debut "S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M.". Now in 2007, were are treated with Senim Silla's solo debut "The Name, The Motto, The Outcome" (classic!), Decompoze's "Decomposition" and the follow-up to One Be Lo's debut to be released later this year. Now on to Decompoze...
On the Binary Star LP, 2 of my favorite joints were "Fellowship" and "Indy 500" (also seen here as the last track). Even back then I felt that Decompoze was just as ill and talented as Lo and Silla. As the main producer on "Waterworld"/"Masters Of The Universe", Decompoze provided much of the musical vision for that album. Along with the ability to produce excellent soundscapes, he can also write and spit conscious lyrics with the best in the industry.
"Lap 2" starts off the mix with some killer lyrics from Decompoze and One Be Lo, signifying why the Subterraneous Records is a force to be reckoned with. "Mica (Phone Check)" continues the chillness with some personal lyrics about his love life. "Same Song" is an introspective interlude that discusses the ill-fated state of hip-hop. "All Out" featuring 1997 Scribble Jam battle winner Juice, Invincible, Magestik Legend, One Be Lo & Elzhi is a DOPE posse track! "Take A Stand" featuring Kodac, may be my favorite joint here. Insightful lyrics and a Wu-Tang-esque piano loop makes it shine. Other standouts include the protest message of "Heart Of The Matter", the soul flavored splendor of "React" featuring Zhao-Ski, "We Over Here" featuring Octane, Illite & One Be Lo, & "Freakin Flo's" also featuring One Be Lo.
Overall, Decompoze created an album that I always knew he was capable of. He brings more to the table than I thought he would, and this album will stand the test of time. If you have yet to discover the dynamic trio of Binary Star, this serves as a wake-up call to all the sleepy heads out there.
Free Music Review: Decompoze is.. Hit: 5 StarsOne of the Best producers to touch the Mic. He is a producer in the Trakezoid's, along with one of the All time greats, OneBeLo. Decompoze, while first being a producer, is not at all a producer who shouldn't rock the mic. He most definitely is better than a lot of Mc's out there who don't do produce. If you are a fan of early subterraneous music like OneBeLo's albums, Binary Star, or the Waterworld albums, you already know who Decompoze is and were awaiting this. Go buy it and support hip-hop, you won't be disappointed.
