Freddy Fresh is one busy man: He’s dj-ed all over the world, compiled what seems like hundreds of DJ mixes and compilations, runs several record labels and somehow also has time to get into the studio to produce a huge back catalogue. Stark Ravin’ is a new label set up by Freddy and to kick things off he’s brought in a gifted mc The Conductor Crucified for this new project. This first thing I noticed was that the productions were not what you’d usually expect from a so-called hip hop album. No jiggy business here, just simple quality beats with quality vocals and lyrics. You must lend your ears to the old skool sounding "Paradise O’ Bleeding" and "Heart Vs. Hardware". I hope this is just the start of something special from these guys.
