Tela's debut is an inconsistent but promising set of Southern rap, highlighted by cameos from Suave labelmates 8Ball and MJG. Though he tries to push his hardcore side throughout the record, his true strength is in new jack ballads, such as "Let It Rain," which bring the record to another level. There's not quite enough of them on Piece of Mind, but the bulk of the record is promising and entertaining enough to make it worth a listen. ~ Leo Stanley

Piece Of Mind album
$6.09  
Out of a seemingly endless array of hip hop albums, every now and again something fresh and powerful rises to the top of the pile. Hailing from the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City (home to Marley Marl among others), 20-year old Nasir "Nas" Jones is less concerned with being an impersonator than with being an originator, bypassing adolescent fantasies and B-boy braggadocio in favor of jazzy beats, rap noir realism and new answers to urban despair.
ILLMATIC is his story, a cautionary tale of the inner-city streets, and as Nas makes plain on his opener, "The Genesis," this is what he does, with or without a record contract, and it's going to be served up straight, no chaser. And because Nas has the courage to transcend popular trends, to separate himself from the ranks of wannabes and me-toos, he may be on the verge of inaugurating some stylistic changes of his own.
Production-wise, Nas has gathered together some of the superstars of the hip hop underground, producers ...

The motorcyclists' answer to The Fast and the Furious, Biker Boyz features an appropriately testosterone- and adrenaline-driven soundtrack that focuses on hip-hop and nu-metal. Not surprisingly, most of the rap and hip-hop selections are ...
| | Freeman L'Palais De Justice CD (1999) (Import) France
Piece Of Mind music CDs
$12.29
Originating from IAM. French rapper Freeman (of Arabic descent) spins tales of life and survival in the ghettos of France, including echoes of North African rai. Shurik'n, Faf Larage, and Sista Micky contribute, and IAM members Akhenaton, Imothep, Shurik'n, and Kheops lend a hand with production.
To be warned, it is very easy to get cynical about any rap outside of America. Rappers in the States have developed such a strong unspoken set of rules for authenticity that anything that falls outside of that circle usually gets blasted by critics and fans alike. But Freeman and his partner, K. Rhyme le Roi, have two things going for them: they ...
| | Mark Grant Sound Design Vol. 2 CD (2001)
Piece Of Mind songs
$10.59
This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Mark Grant.
Moving quickly through 16 diverse tracks on Sound Design, Vol. 2 for Om Records, Mark Grant drops an incredibly broad range of house tracks, everything from Latin house to the more jazzy style he's perhaps best known for. And even though he surprisingly strays from the Om catalog, you really can't complain since there aren't any dull moments in this set; he draws from an eclectic array of labels and producers -- some well-known (Masters at Work, Mood II Swing, Kerri Chandler, Eddie Amador), but most relatively unknown. It's partly this sense of the unknown that makes this mix so adventurous and thrilling, especially on the initial listen; even the most seasoned listeners will travel through this set blindly, since many of these tracks are relatively obscure. Successive listens are just as delightful, though, even without the sense of surprise, and that's because of Grant's mixing, which is just as amazing ...

Piece Of Mind album
$14.79
HOME AGAINMichael Higgins on guitarsChad Wackerman on drumsBob Wackerman on bassDavid Witham on piano and synthPaul Carman on saxesSteve Fisher on percussionFind out more about the musicians at the bottom of this page! This CD is very diverse. All compositions are written by Michael Higgins except After the Gold Rush, which is written by Neil Young. Though steeped in the jazz tradition there are also influences of rock, funk and classical music. Throughout my life I've been touched by many styles of music and as you listen to the songs you will hear evidence of this.The first track "The Good Life" is a medium tempo song that has a very melodic melody and a unison figure that ties the piece together. Home Again is a ballad with more of a pop feel. It has a very catchy melody and features strong solos by everyone. This is dedicated to my family."Hang Time" is a groove tune that uses an ostinato bass line throughout the piece. The melody, as well as solos, weaves in between the keys of E and G. This is dedicated to all my friends."To the Ones I Love" is a duet guitar and piano piece. It is a ballad and has a very distinct and pretty melody."Land and Sea" is part of a suite that I wrote for the classical guitar. This particular piece has a rolling feel to it with some interesting counterpoint.MICHAEL HIGGINS/GUITARSThe influence of rock and funk is apparent in his compositions. A versatile guitarist, Higgins can play rock, jazz, blues, classical, and country and do so all equally well. Higgins has performed with Maynard Ferguson, Eddie Harris, Tom Kubis, Bill Watrous, David Clayton Thomas, Scott Henderson, Barbara Morrison, Jeffrey Osborne, and the original 5th Dimension.In addition to recording with many artists, Higgins has recorded his original music on several occasions. The first was with Maynard Ferguson's High Voltage album, and also as a member of the SHAPES band (www.SHAPESMUSIC.com) who is currently performing around southern California. His next CD, Ventana, will be following shortly.Higgins received a B.A. in Music, Long Beach State University and a Masters Degree in Studio Jazz Guitar, University of Southern California, with additional studies with Don Schamber, and John Crosse. Studied composition under Ladd Macintosh, Lyle "Spud" Murphy, John Prince, Tom Kubis, Michael Mitacek, and Bill Fowler. Other private study with Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Joe Diorio, ...
