Mr Kafer – A Past Sense [Melting Pot Music]
Austrian born producer Mr Kafer has made a name for himself by crafting jazzy hip-hop instrumentals. With his third solo album he ventures into new territory. “A Past Sense” contains lush compositions with live instrumentation. In addition he has compiled an array of underrated artists to elevate his work. “B-Stone” is a sublime jazzy hip-hop instrumental that features Franz Bumm on keys. “Green Roses” is a mellow soulful tune aided by Cologne based beatmaker Leavv. Berlin based vocalist Novine’s warm and gentle touch takes the tune to another level. Guitarist Van Nay’s clever phrasing complements Bumm’s blissful keys on “Melange”. If you didn’t know Mr Kafer before then it’s time to get familiar. He’s arranged an album filled with rhythm, harmony and melody. An invigorating release worthy of repeated listens.

The Expert – Vivid Visions [Rucksack Records]
Dublin Ireland hip hop producer The Expert presents an ambitious collaborative album. “Vivid Visions” is a psychedelic hip hop album that was two years in the making. A short turnaround when you consider that the project features a whopping twenty one rappers from across the pond and beyond. The roster contains veterans and newcomers of the Indie hip-hop scene. “40 Winks” has a hazy sublime guitar melody tailor made for rapper/producer NAHreally. “Dreams” has a dreamy seventies soul sample that features LA rapper Blu and Stik Figa of Tanya Morgan.”Remember The Summer” has a laid back soul jazz sample. Chicago rapper/producer Defcee and UK rap legend Jehst take turns trading bars. Defcee is a major contributor throughout the album. The Expert set out to make a left of center hip-hop album that has an easy cohesive listen. This album’s production and clever use of samples evokes Pete Rock vibes. One of the best Indie hip-hop records of the year.
Evidence – Unlearning Vol 2 [Rhymesayers]
“Unlearning Vol 2” is the fifth solo project from rapper/producer Evidence. The former member of the LA based hip-hop trio Dilated Peoples delivers an album filled with laid back beats aligned with introspective lyrics. Not to mention thought provoking interludes. “Outta Bounds” is mellow, dark and gritty. Evidence states his desire to succeed with the following. “They say it’s lonely at the top, I need to know that lonely feeling. They told us skys the limit, so many various ways to get paid and stay driven”. Fellow LA native rapper Blu jumps on board the warped melodic piano driven “Stay Alive”. DJ/Producer The Alchemist drops his signature beats and rhymes on “Rain Every Season”. Evidence demonstrates that real hip-hop is alive and well and I’m here for it.
