Soul De Rey 2 by EvillDewer

/

Free Download So go Ahead & Download Soul De Rey 2 by EvillDewer Boston has a lot more to offer than just “throw your threes” platitudes. Evilldewer is on the cutting edge. A sound unlike any other in the Bean, the closest comparison is a synthesis of the experimental rhythms explored by Dilla and Madlib mixed with hardcore knocking of east coast stalwarts like MOP and Celph Titled. His newest release “Soul De Rey II” is an effortless blend of hard-hitting syncopated drum patterns and transient nuances. The next installment in the eponymous series ( Evilldewer is Wesley REYes), part two is a further exploration of a new side of hip-hop. Away from the cliched beats and rhymes that plagues so much of Boston and American hip-hop in, Soul De Rey II is forward thinking, though acknowledges the past. By definition hip-hop is a blend of all music, a genre which takes in everything around it to output a new perspective on what exists. Soul De Rey II exemplifies this definition and shows how truly diverse the genre can be.

Rey Leon – The Pledge LP

/

The Pledge LP by Rey Leon Ray Leon dropping “The Pledge LP” http://reyleonmusic.com/den/ “Articulating poetic justice in every realm… Out of the boroughs of Boston, the enlightened hip-hop movement gave birth to a thoroughbred. Born in La Ceiba, Honduras, Rey Leon is one of the gems of an era that has been dominated by a game in which money and greed forsake the passion for music. Rey Leon stepped into the role of creator in the 10th grade, free-styling in studio basements and school lunchrooms. His unique style was praised by his peers and he continued to hone his live performance every chance he got. After performing at open mics, he made his debut during Boston’s Annual Youth Peace Conference at The Strand Theater. Although he only performed one song, “Urban Abstract” featuring EK, this daring act was a declaration. After releasing his project album “The Pledge EP” in the spring of 2010 Rey Leon teamed up with local filmmaker Rene Dongo to produce a video for the song, “I Still Love Her” featuring B-Magic of B&B. This take on the classic Common song reaffirms Rey Leon’s love for real Hip-Hop which continues to survive the industry’s assault on creativity and content. “The Pledge LP,” a full extended version features collaborations with various other local and underground artists including as Catch Wreck, Illy Sav, Simone Iman and Clutch just to name a few. In late 2010/2011, Rey Leon was faced with an ultimatum. He deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom as an Infantry soldier. Being overseas at war could have halted his progress in music, instead, it only fueled his hunger. During his time overseas, he wrote to keep his mind elevated and sharp. He performed for his comrades to keep their spirits up and share his creativity and passion for music, even becoming the subject of an article published across military news services. An infantry soldier using his music to raise the consciousness of his community, Rey Leon is dedicated to the true spirit of hip-hop: expression for empowerment.” Support Good Music @ http://reyleon.bandcamp.com/
