JEANIUS, the long-awaited collaboration project between Jean Grae and 9th Wonder shows yet again that the South African-born Grae is among the most skilled wordsmiths in the game. 9th Wonder's lofty, loop-based production meshes perfectly with Jean's cadenced flow, while her intelligent rhymes put the average sex-obsessed female MC to shame. The subject matter goes far deeper than most pedestrian hip-hop boastfests as Jean explores post-abortion guilt on "My Story" and spins compelling vignettes about the sex industry alongside Median on "American Pimp." DP and Phonte of Little Brother are also featured on one of the best hip-hop albums of 2008.
Photographer: Berman Fenelus.Spin (p.100) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "9th Wonder is in top form, flipping Phoebe Snow and other soulful '70s samples with emotional fervor." Billboard (p.40) - "[H]er finest album to date....Jean delivers the self-revelatory 'Don't Rush Me' and the touching 'My Story'..." XXL (Magazine) (p.132) - "[It's] honesty and her willingness to recount vivid details of painful, haunting past experiences that allow Jean to connect with audiences on an intimate level."

Jeanius album
$8.15 Diamond D had quietly provided some exciting production work and made strides within the rap music industry and community throughout the early '90s, but his name didn't become immediately recognizable until his classic guest appearance rapping on A Tribe Called Quest's "Show Business" ("Take it from Diamond/It's like mountain climbing/When it comes to rhyming/You gotta put your time in"), off their masterful second album, The Low End Theory. Even amid vintage verses by such lauded hip-hop company as Tribe's Q-Tip and Phife and Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar and Sadat X, something about Diamond D's forthright and rock-solid, but totally laid-back, style stood out. Hip-hop heads waiting to hear more from him were rewarded with a veritable wealth of treasures when Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop, Diamond D's debut album, was released the following year. The album instantly became -- and remains -- something of an underground masterpiece. Stunts is a hugely sprawling, amorphous thing. Nearly 70 minutes would generally seem far too long for a hip-hop album to sustain any degree of good taste, especially one that is mostly song-based and keeps the de rigueur between-song ...
| | Pete Rock Petestrumentals CD (2001) (Import) United Kingdom
Jeanius CD music
$8.99 This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
PeteStrumentals follows Jay Dee's Welcome 2 Detroit as the second offering in BBE's producer spotlight "Beat Generation" series. If you approach Pete Rock's joint as a song-oriented pop album, you may feel disappointed. Only two tracks ("Cake" and "Nothin' Lesser - Jamie's Mix") feature MCs and the repetitive, consistently mid-tempo beats get somewhat monotonous by the end of most tracks. If you approach the album as a radical work of sonic architecture, you may also feel disappointed, since Rock's relatively old-school sensibility isn't likely to make you hear music in a completely new way. But if you approach PeteStrumentals on its own terms -- as a laid-back collection of atmospheric beats ideal for late-night chilling or freestyling over -- then you may enjoy Pete Rock's soulful funk-jazz grooves, which are first rate for this type of recording. The deep bass and whispered "play back" vocal sample on "For the People," jazzy piano ...

ABOUT THE "LIVE" CD: "Not many of us left of the old school, but they don't come any better than Big George Brock." After this brief testimonial by 80-year-old Sonny Payne of Helena, Arkansas' famed King Biscuit Time radio show, Big George Brock tells the packed house that he's "here to please you, not to tease you." Then, he goes on to prove it throughout this brand-new, hour-long live album — the much heralded follow-up to Brock's Blues Music Award-nominated "Round Two." After 67 years of singing blues and playing harmonica, 75-year-old Brock IS the blues. Best known for his high-energy, "step-back-in-time" live shows, it's fitting that Brock recorded ...
