ethemadassassin "Soul on Fire" album reviewed by Rap Reviews
New album Soul on Fire by ethemadassassin is a journey through a life of a rapper who started out in the 90's, coming up through the rap battle scene in his native North Carolina, putting out early mixtapes, hustlin for shows, spins and shine, and who ultimately made the move out to the west coast in recent years to form Veteran Assassins with Veteran Eye in Los Angeles
It is also auto biographical in the depiction of life on the street, sights, sounds, fashions and the personal & musical development of this artist over the two decades
The latest review by Zach Gase for Rap Reviews picks up on this fact also in the context of the current throwback to the 90's going on at the moment generally. He compares E to a young Jay Electronica from the days of the Style Wars Bootleg EP and picks up on the fact that the main theme of the album is in reflection a part "homage" to the sound of that era. Props are given for his rapping and lyricism and of course suggests that this kind of style has a specific market - "I'm looking at you, Joey Bada$$ fans"
Its a fair appraisal from a reviewer who admits that he himself doesn't necessarily buy into that sound, but still acknowledges the qualities throughout conceding "I'm sure there are people out there who hold this record in high esteem." Without doubt, this is a release for the hip hop heads with a love for the traditional qualities. Read the whole review at http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/2013_09_soulonfire.html
