</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Being the first <b>Ocean</b> album I have yet to hear, I’m late. <b> </b><b>Ocean</b> has some serious skills. The first three joints, on <b>The Illustrious: I AM NOT A RAPPER VOL. III</b>, are brilliant (<b>The Introduction, Playing For Keeps, May Day</b>). If a music listener is looking for a range of content throughout an album, <b>Ocean</b> has it from beginning to end. The production is super clean. The record is a great representation of both <b>The Illustrious Few</b> and <b>Ocean</b>. There is something on this album for everybody (for those who appreciate Hip Hop- which I am confused how anyone couldn’t as there is a Hip Hop musical element to practically all music but that is a whole different can of worms). I really did not expect this album to be arranged so well (shame on me for knowing how well respected <b>Ocean</b> is within the local scene and for knowing how professional <b>The Illustrious</b> Few are through previous offerings). </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">On </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>The Introduction</b>,</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <b>Ocean</b> comes out swinging with bars and a flow over such a simple yet smooth and clean instrumental that reminded me of something that should have been on The American Gangster Soundtrack. I said I’ve been sleeping but it’s the music industry that’s asleep on so many independent artists with <b>Ocean</b> being one of those.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="http://ocean85fresh.bandcamp.com/track/playing-for-keeps"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Playing For Keeps</b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> has such a rawness to the beat it reminded me of the rawness of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cuttin’ Headz</i> (ODB, RZA). Even though the two sound nothing alike musically or lyrically, they both have an old school feel with a new school twist that stick out on both of their respective albums with </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Playing For Keeps </b>being the most fresh and up-to-date</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">On<b> May Day</b>, <b>Ocean</b> flow on this cut brings another dimension of his artistic versatility which is present throughout the album. The music production is incredible throughout the album with it changes of pace but <b>Ocean</b> as an artist displays his mastery of his craft through his ability to flow with all of the music. If you research the history of May Day, you will find it to be filled with murder. <b>Ocean</b> murders this track.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

There are a lot of different sounds and flows throughout the rest of the album that really show <b>Ocean</b>’s musical experience and capabilities. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Ocean</b> is another artist for which the sky is truly the limit in regards to his potential success. After you listen to May Day below, support independent Hip Hop and download this free album at </span><a href="http://ocean85fresh.bandcamp.com/album/the-illustrious"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">http://ocean85fresh.bandcamp.com/album/the-illustrious</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> or by clicking the album pic above of an artist ready to make serious moves in music.</span></div><br />

A Complete Musical Masterpiece. Can those two phrases be used to explain an album? They can when the album is a work of art like this one. The production on this album is almost unparalleled in the music industry. In our present day, time and time again we hear mainstream artists boast of production by some well respected mainstream name or label and how incredible the music is or is going to be, and so many times we are still left disappointed by these artists due to having ZERO control of their art and offering nothing different from the last artist or really not having well crafted their skills in having an album that makes complete sense from open to close. This is much more than just throwing some songs on an album. <br />
<br />
For those familiar with the group The Society Of Invisibles, <b>Species</b> album, <b>For Those Who Have Eyes</b>, may appear as another chapter in the groups book-although that is plausible it is not the case as this album is a book itself. For those unfamiliar with the group or <b>Species</b> I must warn you that the world you are about to hear will make your mind see things that you will never get in mainstream anything. The album is a musical movie or novel in your head with imagery painted so precise and pristine that you only need your ears and a third eye to see every part of <b>For Those Who Have Eyes</b>. <br />
<b><br />
Origin of Species-</b> The introduction is an instrumental with outstanding production that gets this story rolling and will open a door to a great lead into a path where every twist and turn of music and lyricism is new (even if you heard a sample or two before- you have never heard it like this) in that you won’t see what is around the corner until <b>Species</b> tells you. Ironically, Charles Darwin published <i>On the Origin of Species</i> in 1859, a work of scientific literature which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. This introduction, <b>Origin of Species</b> is the foundation of the evolutionary path through this album’s biology.<br />
<b><br />
Orchard of Orchids- </b>When <b>Species</b> tells you to “take a walk with me…” on the hook (and yes that’s all I’m going to share), it will be a walk where you most likely will have no idea where you’re headed. A lot of people think they H.A.M. these days but this song alone is harder than the ground they walk on. Every step is like we are walking along the fence that stands between sanity and insanity, and it might just leave you wondering which side of the fence you were actually on. <br />
<b><br />
Tunnel Vision- </b>As I listened for the first time I waited until I got to the halfway point before I realized <b>Species</b> wasn’t going to drop any verses on this one. It was another great instrumental with interesting samples and some great scratches that it didn’t matter, because it left me wanting to hear what was next like I was walking across a bridge over an abyss.<br />
<b><br />
Oil & Opium-</b> The track could be simply explained as an anthem of our times in a much realer sense than what the powers that be over our airwaves these days want us to think about. It explains the reality of the present socio-political climate in an infectious dark realistic musical presentation. But, this movie is not over yet. When I first listened to the album all the way through this was my favorite (for those familiar with my thoughts on the world’s political climate this would be no surprise), but after having listened to the album numerous times in the same day, it is almost impossible for me to choose a favorite over choosing the whole entire story. <br />
<b><br />
Natural Selection- </b>Not a single verse or hook is dropped and yet the music and sampling is once again so genius and explanatory that it progresses the evolution of this album and transitions us into the next piece.<br />
<b><br />
News Corpse, 7 Lettered Angel, Around the Corner’s Bend, </b>and <b>First Class Failure </b>are the remaining tracks of the journey and each one is almost like opening “Pandora’s Box” and then you’re left realizing that we actually live in it. Why am I not breaking down the rest for you? You need to hear the album for yourself. <br />
<br />
There are parts of this story that For Those Who Have Eyes more than likely wish were not true. The truth is that as beautiful and great life can be, there is no way to hide for long that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction with a huge emphasis on opposite. It’s great to stop and smell the roses (taking the time to stop and appreciate what's around you), but it’s as important to acknowledge that roses grow most beautiful when fed shit and for every great thing in our world is a dark reality that we have to face and own up to. Is that what makes this album so great? Is it shit fed roses? Remember, today ends so tomorrow can start. What makes this album great is <b>Species</b>, <b>The Premonist</b>, <b>Byron Badblood</b>, <b>Wizard of ODD</b>, <b>Erel The Rkatec</b> and <b>LES735</b>.

You Can't Turn Me Away<b>Every Wednesday</b> (aka Humpday for those on their Monday-Friday grind), we will try to provide you with a classic to pay homage to the artists of yesteryear. Today's Throwback is by <b>Sylvia Striplin</b>, a New York based Jazz/ Soul/ R&B vocalist, with <b>You Can't Turn Me Away</b> from her only released album <b>Give Me Your Love</b>, released in 1981 on Uno Melodic Records with the help of the great <b>Roy Ayers</b>. She had such a beautiful voice and I love the funk of this record. Its a shame she only released one album. Enjoy:<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">The album really left me expecting more from a number of people who appeared on it due to previous work I had heard from them, however, it must be kept in perspective that music is an art form and what one person creates in a certain piece is not what you can expect out of every single other. To be blunt, I felt 6/10 were worthy of attention, with 3 out of 4 of my least favorites placed in the middle of the album- meaning I enjoyed the beginning and the end of the album much in a way as how a movie or a book can have a great beginning and end (even if it drags in the middle) and still be considered memorable. Even though I didn’t enjoy 3 or 4 songs out of the 10- that is still better than 99% of mainstream artists who usually only have 3 or 4 decent ones (and that is sometimes out of a 20 cut album). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The strongest tracks of the album in my opinion were the following:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Blowin’ Up</i></b> (JustUS, Deonte, Mellanin) is a great introduction track with sound production behind it. It begins with a B.I.G. sample for the hook “I’m blowin up like you thought I would/ Call the crib same number same hood…” which may actually be the weakest part on the track (depending on where the late Christopher Wallace ranks on your rap radar) - none-the-less it fits. I got an almost “this is why I’m hot” type vibe from the beat but I would have to rate <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blowin’ Up</i></b> higher in comparison. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>My Bottle</i></b> (JustUS, Tash, Knoc-turn’al, J.Beam) is almost reminiscent of Tash’s Alkaholiks days but this time it’s a CTL album. I could see this playing in a club atmosphere being chanted by a room full of drunks so it is what it is and a solid addition (and I don’t even drink alcohol anymore).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Her Thang</i> </b>(D.Scott, Deonte) is a great fusion of an R&B hook and rap bars that’s relatable for those of us who have had a woman in our lives that is memorable in most every way from the time shared with them.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>TAF </i></b>(JustUS, KRS-1, Deonte) features JustUS & Deonte raising their bars up on a song with a HIP HOP Godfather/Legend, the one and only KRS-One. The phrase, Today and Forever, really goes hand in hand for those that get what HIP HOP is- a culture. This is by far one of the strongest cuts out of the ten.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Smiles and Cries</i></b> (JustUS, Deonte, RoKnowledge) is an incredible reminiscing track and a great ending to an album. RoKnowledge takes us out of the musical ride- wondering why this was the only song he collaborated on…..?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In my opinion (which probably seems outdated to today's youth) anyone who can get KRS-One on a track is not only HIP HOP, but is also relevant- from a group that’s been in the game for a decade and a half? That’s like 30 rap years in today's rapworld. Are you going to feel cheated by grabbing a compilation album that only has ten songs? Do Tash, Knoc-turn’al, and KRS-One appearances not mean anything in your rap world? Not only are all the CTL members talented but so are the rest of the guest appearances (do your history if you don’t believe me). Oh- by the way, the best part of this album- download it FREE at <a href="http://ctlmusic.com/download/">http://ctlmusic.com/download/</a> So, don’t take my word for it- download the album for yourself and/or a friend and make your own opinion.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
