INTERVIEW - AXIS (LIBRA LTD)

I recently had the opportunity to interview Yokohama based rapper AXIS. AXIS is on the LIBRA LTD label which has acts such as MSC who are known as one of the founding groups of Japanese Hip Hop. As with all of my interviews it was via email.

REVIEW - AXIS - UNCIVILIZED

I pre-ordered AXIS's new album from JetSet Records and after it arrived I got sidetracked for a month and didn't get around to reviewing it. AXIS is a rapper on the LIBRA LTD label known for Japanese hip hop legends MSC aka Mic Space Crew and SHINGO NISHINARI as well as JUSWANNA and many great DJ. Anyway! Without further ado, on to the review!

1.Prologue - It's basically a good intro track that sounds like it could go in a action film, then AXIS just kills it with a freestyle session. It definitely sets up the rest of the album, especially the eerie demonic laughter. The beat is courtesy of DADDY VEDA a.k.a. REBEL BEATS (ILL EAST RECORDS).

ALBUM REVIEW - BLAHRMY - A REPORT OF THE BIRDSTRIKE

Most people outside of Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan have no idea who BLAHRMY are and it's a shame because they are among the new breed of hip hop in Japan. BLAHRMY consists of SHEEF THE THIRD AKA DACOCK MORRAY and MILES WORD AKA BITTER THE TOPPOMAN and are a part of BLACK LIST POSSE. BLAHRMY's first release, an EP called Ducks Moss Village sold out immediately after it was released back in 2010 and are back this year with their first full album A REPORT OF THE BIRDSTRIKE. Is the new album the same calibur of their previous? Read and find out!
