"Cases" by Tom Delay
So if you've been with us and The Projectivity Movement for the past few years, you should know all about Brakefast Records. They have held down the Balitmore hip-hop scene for the past few years, from classic releases such as A-Class's "Motive Response" to their consistent shows and battles including Speakerboxxin, an all-in-one breaking, DJing, producing, and emcee battle. The label is definitely synonymous with hip-hop.
Well they are back with producer Tom Delay's newest compilation titled "Cases: The Columbo Chronic Ls". If you were ever a fan of "Columbo", the TV series, you'll love this, and even if you've never seen it, you'll appreciate the concept. The theme couldn't be more original. I can't give away the secret behind the production involved, but lets just say fans of crime television hits from the 70's will immediately love it. The songs tell an in depth story of crime and the underground. Its been compared to Prince Paul's "A Prince Among Thieves", a classic hip-hop album telling an epic tale worthy of a cinematic screenplay.
Production comes from all over including your boy Tekst from THC. Tom Delay was the executive producer doing some of the beats and most of the crafting of each song and shaping the whole storyline. Artists that appeared on the album include L.E.G.A.C.Y. of Justus League, A-Class from Brakefast Records, and lots more. Real hip-hop heads shoo need to take a listen. You can't get just one song either, COP THE WHOLE ALBUM. SUPPORT UNDERGROUND ARTISTS!!!
