Mainstream female rappers are few and far between, and underground female rappers are even less common. Add this to the fact that Christalle Bowen, or Psalm One, doesn't only rhyme about her sexual prowess and her love of expensive things and you've got yourself something pretty unique, even rare. Over perfect underground beats -- melodic without being too poppy -- Psalm One spits about growing up in Chicago ("The Nine"), wack MCs (including female ones, emphasized in "Prelude to a Diss" and "Rapper Girls"), her previous day job as a scientist ("chemistry's feeding me, cuz I charge much less for my two EPs" goes the hook in "The Living," also echoed in "Beat the Drum"), and or course, her love of hip-hop ("Peanuts") with a smooth but punctuated flow, a bit like fellow Midwesterners and Rhymesayers labelmates Blueprint or P.O.S. Psalm, like any self-respecting rapper, makes sure to rep her hometown, but she makes sure she still maintains her own identity as well. "I ain't Com, I ain't Kanye," she says in the excellent title song, which features a verse from producer, MC, and Del sound-alike Thaione Davis, who uses cartoonish strings and crackling, quirky percussion to set the pace of the track. On "Macaroni and Cheese," the Chi's musical heritage is paid tribute to in Overflo's blues guitar-laden beat (which, it must be said, is practically identical to the one on Jay-Z's "My 1st Song') that meshes with gospel cries and a smoky bassline. Here, the rapper uses a cadence (again similar to Jay-Z's)that almost seems borrowed from the playground, which contrasts nicely with its more adult themes, and makes the track swing and swell. Psalm One is a witty, talented lyricist who's not afraid to reveal personal information ("lost 60 pounds") as well as brag about her own skills ("my flow hits your po' brain like government cocaine/I'm propane, you no name"), which are certainly numerable. Trying to break into the hip-hop world is never easy, especially when you're one of the few women in an extremely male-centric genre, but with The Death of Frequent Flyer, Psalm more than proves that she deserves to be there, and that all other MCs should watch out. ~ Marisa BrownRolling Stone (p.70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "With a smooth flow and throaty voice reminiscent of the Pharcyde's Fat Lip, Psalm One is the rare woman to rap about her real life with a winning honesty."
Spin (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[J]azz, Latin, Middle Eastern, blues guitar, and electronic backing from six different producers keep things bumping."
Entertainment Weekly (p.138) - "[S]he leavens street swagger with vulnerability, delivering gunshot-free boasts and stories that go beyond true-crime narrative." -- Grade: B

My friend let me borrow this album, and i was skeptical yet interested at first. After listening to the 14 amazing tracks, i became an instant fan. If you are a fan of Atmosphere then Psalm One should fit your tastes just right.

Atmosphere Seven's Travels CD  (2003)

Death Of Frequent Flyer album
CD $10.45  3.5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
This Minneapolis duo had spent about a decade at the center of the insular Twin Cities hip-hop scene before their national emergence with 2002's GOD LOVES UGLY, an idiosyncratic slice of state-of-the-art conscious rap. SEVEN'S TRAVELS, their fourth full-length release, is both a logical next step and a quantum leap forward. Ant's painterly soundscapes conjure the glory years of Daisy Age hip-hop, and frontman Slug makes up for what he lacks in Eminem-style down-and-dirty venom with a compelling combination of grainy imagery and street-level introspection. The production is a layered affair that features off-kilter beats vying for bandwidth with smartly chosen audio verite and musical ...

Sage Francis Healthy Distrust CD  (2005)

Death Of Frequent Flyer CD music
CD $11.19  4 stars Audio Samples
Independent rap phenom Sage Francis could have spent his entire career in the underground, winning dozens of poetry slams and collecting battle MC awards at least once per year. But his voice needs to be heard by more hip-hop fans, not simply because he's a gifted rapper but also because he's provocative and intelligent. It's no surprise that the increasingly diversified Epitaph label signed him, but it's also no surprise that Francis hasn't mellowed with his new contract. In fact, since his first solo record for Anticon, he's grown fiercer and gained more ammo (courtesy of the political situation circa 2004-2005). The beats (never a highlight previously) are not only cleaner than his eight-track ...

Soul Position Things Go Better With RJ And Al CD  (2006)

Death Of Frequent Flyer CD music
CD $11.65  4 stars Audio Samples
It is unsurprising that producer RJD2 and MC Blueprint have found success as Soul Position. Both are talented in their own right, and their work together draws on and complements each individual's strengths. Their second full-length record, Things Go Better with RJ and Al, has a sound that will definitely be familiar to fans of the group's first release, 8 Million Stories. RJD2's diverse sonic selection is kept simple and clean so as to not overpower Blueprint's vocals and there's an emphasis on funky basslines accented with horns, along with, like a lot of underground rap from the past few years (9th Wonder, Madlib), sped-up '70s soul samples that turn into eight-bar grooves. But RJD2 is talented enough that he doesn't end up repeating himself too frequently, and his willingness to explore different genres on which to base the sound of each song creates a lot of interesting and diverse beats. Blueprint is in good form on the record, providing the mix of humor and social commentary (often within the same song) found in his other work. While never making it into ...
