About Project X

Posted by MethadonE Monday, October 26, 2009

Since long before UPX was but a twinkle in our eyes, the crew here at UPX each shared a common thread. Underground was on the incline – though people were and still are starved to find the best available both from this day and age, and years past.

Project X was born into the idea to be that channel; a locale for our readership to visit and learn about the latest and greatest happenings in Underground Rap. People are hungry, and the culture though growing diversely from all angles lacked direction or tastemakers who are respected for their love, and not for the marketing behind their products.

We’ve all had a conversation similar to: “I used to love x, but since then I don’t know where to find/stopped caring about/don’t know where to learn more about it”. We’ll be that. Project X is the digital face for the hard to find, Underground Artist that are tough as nuggets to keep up with.

Jern Eye - Vision

Posted by MethadonE Sunday, October 25, 2009

Jern Eye - Vision

In 2009 the MYX Music Label has embodied the fighting spirit of underground Hip Hop. Following in the footsteps of acclaimed releases by Keelay & Zaire and D.Black, the limelight has now shifted toward Jern Eye (a.k.a. Small Axe), who is ready to share his Vision with the world. Leveraging intimate ties with legendary local icons like Souls Of Mischief [click to read] and The Pharcyde [click to read], Jern has been a name to follow in the Bay Area’s independent scene, making waves with his Lunar Heights crew. At a time filled with corporate-influenced music, Vision has set its sights on forging Hip Hop back into an era of non-compliance, when artists stood for something and every track had intent.



Although marketed as a “continuation” to Authentic Vintage, Jern Eye’s latest is somewhat of a 180° in terms of production and guest features. For his debut, Jern handled 80% of the production and had minimal features. Whereas, Jern Eye co-produced a single track on Vision (“Pleasure Of Love”) and opened the floodgates to eleven non-Lunar Heights collaborations, including Guilty Simpson, Mistah F.A.B., Zumbi (of Zion I), and Cali Agents. Very beat driven, Vision boasts top notch production by some of the nation’s most respected beatsmiths such as Jersey City’s Illmind, Seattle’s Jake One, as well as label mates Keelay & Zaire. However, Jern’s Tom Tom Club-sampled track feels obscurely out of place, failing to mesh with the overall theme.

The project’s eclectic beats sample a widespread range of genres including new wave (“Pleasure Of Love”) and Country Rock (“Something’s Wrong”), while holding true to golden era Hip Hop. Additionally, Vision incorporates signature production techniques such as scratches by Lunar Heights’ DJ Icewater (“Change”) as well as the usage of crackling sound effects (“Now,” “Vision”), painting the imagery that the album is being played on vinyl.

While Authentic Vintage was self-admittedly crafted with little guidance, Vision illustrates a more conscious and focused Jern Eye, thanks to the executive production of MYX President Karim Panni. Such development is epitomized on “Get Right,” a star-studded lyrical bombshell about mastering mental perception in order to elevate through life’s struggles. Moreover, “Who’s To Say” and “Beautiful” further showcase Jern Eye’s uplifting and thought-provoking sophistication. In addition, Jern effectively channels Authentic Vintage’s aggressive elements (“Something’s Wrong,” “So & So”), while reuniting Lunar Heights for a refreshing posse cut (“Change”).

In comparison to previous MYX releases, Vision’s overarching concept lacks the originality and creativity captured by Keelay & Zaire's Ridin’ High [click to read]. Moreover, Jern Eye has dedicated over a quarter of the album toward the redundantly recurrent persona of being a club-frequenting eligible bachelor. Furthermore, though Jern aims to mimic his aforementioned golden eras of Hip Hop, he has unfortunately fallen victim of elements of modern commercialism (“Get Down,” “Burnin’”).

Like D.Black, Jern Eye has artistically made great strides between albums, with his Vision sharper than ever. Though not quite as compelling as Spear Of The Nation’s (of Lunar Heights) Spearitalk, Jern has successfully avoided the infamous sophomore jinx and has well represented his label, the Bay Area, and the Filipino-American Hip Hop culture.

Army of the Pharoahs - Ritual of Battle

Since its original conception in the late 90's by Jedi Mind Tricks front man Vinnie Paz, Army of the Pharoahs (aka AOTP), has had a constantly evolving roster of underground mainstays. This time around AOTP has supplemented their ranks with Demoz and Doap Nixon, while Apathy has withdrawn. Luckily Ap's disappearance isn't too much of an issue as both veterans and newcomers do a superb job of holding it down lyrically. There aren't a lot of surprises here as this record is very similar in scope and subject matter as last year's The Torture Papers, featuring pseudo-epic production and lyrics that serve as verification to this album's title.

Kicking off in spectacular fashion, posse cut Swords Drawn is being widely compared to a Wu-Tang joint, probably due to the fact that there are a total of 6 emcees on the track. Listeners will be hard pressed to choose a single favorite verse as the squadron all come correct over a banger provided by Esoteric. Eso also contributes the triumphant horns of Dump The Clip which features Eso himself kicking one of the illest verses I've personally ever heard from him, proclaiming himself "The Mighty Thor, with the mind of Michael Moore." Perhaps the most dominate single track on the record is Seven, another song with an abundance of personalities spitting gutter poetry, this time over a collaborative production by Ill Bill and Sicknature. With strong performances throughout, the best is saved for last with a very hungry Vinnie Paz preceded by Celph Titled's signature brand of twisted humor mixed with the filthiest of gangsterisms.

While these high points make blunder hard to imagine, there is disappointment to be found scattered throughout the 16 tracks. While most of these missteps occur due to repetitive and sometimes just plain weak production, perhaps the bitterest pill to swallow is the letdown that is Blue Steel. Featuring a reunited Vinnie Paz and Jus Allah for the first time since 2000's Violent By Design, what should have been the crowning moment of the record becomes a farce thanks to an annoying beat and an extremely poor performance by Jus Allah. Even Vinnie, who is at his best for the rest of the album, sounds unmotivated over the staccato strings. And while Paz is at his pinnacle, Jus Allah falters on all three of his included attempts.

Just like any subject matter, an album comprised entirely of battle raps can become tedious, especially after 16 tracks clocking in at over an hour. Fortunately, things are kept pretty fresh with tracks featuring a virtual revolving door of emcee combinations. D & D, which isn't a nerd rap tribute to Dungeons & Dragons, but a team up between Demoz and Des Devious. The one deviation from the battle rap formula, Don't Cry works to gorgeous results, but also makes one wish there were more displays of diversity over the course of the record. Not every track is going to succeed the way Dump The Clip did, when the same topic's keep getting repeated you end up with tired songs like Drama Theme.

As it stands Ritual of Battle is a very strong showing from what would be a supergroup given more individual success, it just might not have what it takes to warrant repeat front-to-back spins. The roster changes worked out pretty well all in all, although Apathy's absence is noticeable. Don't get it twisted, it isn't like the LP suffered without the King of Connecticut, but it surely would have been better with him. On the production front the album is pretty much on par with The Torture Papers, if not a slight notch below. But without any real thematic or conceptual growth for round 2, the Ritual of Battle is just another good album.

Hip-Hop on Healthcare

You don’t normally think of rap stars as having much to do with Washington’s health care debate. After all, hip-hop is mainly about young people and young people almost never think they’re going to get sick. But, even rappers get older, if they’re lucky. Bodies begin to give out, doctor bills begin to pile up and suddenly that health care debate hits home.

“Normally I find it kind of hard being a part of things like this,” said hip-hop artist Malik Taylor, better known as “Phife” or “Phife Dawg” from the Billboard award-winning rap group A Tribe Called Quest.

True that. “This” was a health care round table co-sponsored by the New York-based Hip-Hop Theater Festival, which is something that is in town this week besides Congress.

The panel was held at the Washington, DC, headquarters of the Service Employees International Union, one of many “lobbyists” (If you don’t like what they’re lobbying for) and “stakeholders” (If you do) who are vigorously working the health care debate in Congress this summer.

In the 21 years since Tribe’s birth, Taylor has learned a few things about holes in America’s safety net –the hard way.

First there was his late friend James Dewitt Yancey, better known as J Dilla, an influential rap artist and producer who before his death from lupus in 2006, worked with Chicago’s Common and other well known stars.

During four years of struggle against the often-debilitating autoimmune disease, Dilla’s inadequate health insurance coverage ran out, leaving his family with mounting bills of thousands of dollars every month that friends and fans have tried to help pay off with fundraisers.

Phife’s doing his part, plus helping to raise public awareness of Lupus and the nation’s broken health care system — especially after dealing with health issues of his own.

Tracy Jarrett, an intern for this blog who interviewed Phife, picks up the story here:

In May 1990, Phife was diagnosed with diabetes. A self proclaimed sugar addict, Phife approached his health and dietary needs in the ways of a classic self-indulgent hip-hop star, which is to say that he did not take much care at all.

In 1999, after Tribe broke up, he noticed a pimple-like bump on his neck. Soon he was shocked to learn from a doctor that: “Your kidneys have died. You may have to start dialysis.”

He gained weight and his heart began to fail. In 2006, he recalls, with his heart working at only 25 percent, he would need a kidney transplant. Immediately. After two other donors resulted in complications, he found an ironic match closer than he had imagined: his wife.

Since January, four months after his transplant, he’s been working and traveling again. And fortunately he was covered by his wife’s health insurance, saving them from the six-figure debt that burdened Phife’s family.

“(W) hat I’ve been through the past four or five years, and prior to that, the J Dilla situation,” said Phife at the SEIU roundtable, “—that’s basically what made me come to my senses and say I have to do something to help.”

His motto? “Each one, teach one.”

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

Corey Woods aka Raekwon The Chef, aka Lex Diamonds, aka Shallah Raekwon has been a staple in the Entertainment industry since his debut in 1993 as an integral part in undeniably one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups to date, the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. Rae’s verbal ability took center stage early in the original cult classic “Protect Ya Neck”, but little did the world know as we bopped our heads in unison to the mesmerizing Wu-Tang catalog, that we were merely indulging in delicious appetizers delivered by Rae. It wasn’t until 1995, when Raekwon The Chef emerged from the kitchen and invited the Hip-Hop faithful into his personal chamber and the world was privileged to partake in the perfectly sautéed full course meal cooked by the Chef himself culminating with the album that changed the game as we knew it…Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is a Hip-Hop classic that would serve as binoculars for not only how the general public would view Hip-Hop artists, but also and more importantly, how Hip-Hop artists would view themselves Raekwon has influenced many of the Hip-Hop aficionado’s such as Wyclef, Outkast, The Game, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem, The Lox and the late great Big Pun. Never before had the game seen the flashy swagger, coupled with the Mafioso undertones that so eloquently fit, along with the use of numerous aliases by an artist, the unprecedented skits, the Staten Island slang and the verbal techniques that Raekwon The Chef so effortlessly demonstrated in the Platinum classic album that would withstand the test of time. By possessing these rare qualities and Iron Chef credentials, the Brooklyn born “Shaolin” bred MC became one of the most versatile Hip-Hop artists that the industry has ever seen and considered by many as one of the Greatest MC’s Of All Time. Much like the career of one of his favorite artists, Marvin Gaye,Raekwon not only appeals to the male dominated street community but he also possesses the unique ability to attract a huge female following. The hoods all across America have been craving for it, the streets have been starving, and now the country is famished for the release of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part II (The Purple Tape).

With years of valuable experience from working alongside some of the most influential figures in the recording industry to date, Raekwon is ready to navigate his ship with the formation of his record label, Ice Water Inc. and reemerge his urban flair to the masses with the sequel to the aforementioned blockbuster…Only Built For Cuban Linx II (The Purple Tape). This Shaolin Island legendary flamethrower, gave fans something to chow on with the 08 release of the “Vatican” Mix-tape and now he has prepared a delicious plate and his lyrical recipe has been groomed to make his presence felt nationally with the OBFCL II ‘09 release. With the smash hits “ Mean Streets“ and “ We Ain’t Going No Where“ featuring Busta Rhymes, this lyrical juggernaut has been marinating and is now ready to assume the throne and his rightful position as the flashy Don of Dons and Hip-Hop ambassador in the entertainment industry.

The album features cameos from many industry heavyweights such as The Wu-tang Clan, Jadakiss Styles P, and many others. OBFCL II also features blazing tracks from the who’s who of extraordinary Hip-Hop producers such as the RZA, Eric Sermon, Dr. Dre, Scram Jones, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, Allah Mathematics and J Dilla, layered with Raekwon’s melodic flows, thought provoking visual content and street orientated delivery, Only Built For Cuban Linx Part II (The Purple Tape) will produce the dish that true Hip-Hop heads have been salivating for many years.

NAS-iLLmatic

Posted by MethadonE

Prior to the release of this now legendary and ground-breaking album, hip-hop had arguably developed into a very fragmented genre of music, both geographically and stylistically. Geographically, as with the rise of Death Row records, and several conscious rappers like Del, A Tribe Called Quest, and Pharcyde, L.A. had become the new hip-hop capital of the world. the industry in New York was left in its wake (for this review we are conveniantly ignoring the Wu's "36 Chambers" in 1993). Meanwhile in terms of style, commercial hip-hop, and specifically gangsta rap, had popularized a self-centered syle of narrative which relied on promoting oneself and blasting others on simple one-liners and rhyme schemes.

Enter Nasir Jones aka. Nas. 1994's Illmatic displayed not only some dangerous and grimy beats that reflected the violent nature of the NYC streets, but more importantly, a vicious poetic style that combined the hardness of gangsta rap, with the highly-detailed narrative, skillfull obeservation and deep self-analysis that was often the focus of conscious rap. Along with Wu-Tang, Nas helped firmly re-establish NYC/East Coast as the epicentre of rap, and nearly every rapper who strives to work beyond the now horribly rigid structures of commercial rap owe it to Nas and specifically this album- even Nas' arch-enemy Jay-Z.

This is without a doubt, an exceptional album. where much of gangsta rap embodied old funk samples and stagnant beats, this album is a dark, brooding masterpiece in terms of production, characterized by smooth beats, and a plethora of jazz, soul, and obscure vocal samples. the lyrics, as mentioned repeadtly is the real focus here however, as there is pratically no filler in this regard- each line was written with a prior intention to leave a mark on the listener and are all successful in doing so. a masterpiece.

Tech N9ne-Sickology 101

Posted by MethadonE

Tech N9ne

- Sickology 101

For most rappers getting signed to a major label is like reaching the Promised Land. Before the ink has even dried on the contract they’re already wondering what color jet to buy. But in reality, that “major label as savior” mentality is a fairy tale and the rappers who believe it are naive at best and childish at worst. Truth is, hitting the majors can be spiritually and financially bankrupting (just ask Joe Budden). First off, you can kiss any creative control goodbye. Hell, you won’t be able to put on a pair of jeans without a stylist’s approval. Second, those fat checks you thought you’d be cashing? Try massive debt after you pay the $200,000 you owe T-Pain and Weezy to appear on your failed album. Yes sir, it’s enough to make a man want to stay independent.

If independent rappers need a hero, someone to look up to when the myth of the major label deal starts calling their name, Tech N9ne is that man. Based out of Kansas City and away from the homogenization of the mainstream spotlight, Tech’s created a style so unique it’s almost impossible to describe; imagine if Bone Thugs and Eminem had a baby, and then that baby grew up listening to hardcore rock. And as far as the bank account is concerned, he’s sold over one million albums on his own label (and pocketed an infinitely higher percentage of those profits). In fact, Tech’s been grinding so hard that his latest effort Sickology 101 is his ninth album, and his second all collaboration album. Tech’s not for everyone, you either like his style or you don’t, but every rapper’s got something to learn from Sickology 101.

There’s no better way to introduce the uninitiated into Tech’s devilish world than the title track Sickology 101, a fiendish banger that brings on fellow underground legends Chino XL and Crooked I. Sickology is a perfect example of Tech’s densely melodic rhyme style, a verbal assault that sounds like a symphony of machine guns, and with Chino and Crooked predictably murdering their verses Sickology the track is a fitting opening shot in the hip-hop war that is Sickology the album. Tech is the biggest rapper to ever come out of Kansas City and he put his Midwest roots on full display on Midwest Choppers 2, a track featuring such fast-paced rhyming even Twista would be hard pressed to keep up, thanks to flows from Tech, K-Dean and Krayzie Bone. Both Sickology and Midwest Choppers are one-in-a-million tracks, and it’s hard to believe either would have been released on a major label, something Tech is only too aware of. In fact, he spends his only solo tracks on the album breaking down the mainstream music industry he can’t or won’t join, from the slowly winding Red Nose to the drama-filled Blown Away, a track that aims to expose some superstar artists diva-like tendencies (most prominently Keyshia Cole). Ironically Red Nose and Blown Away are also reminders that the album’s strength in numbers is also its weakness – ultimately its at its best when Tech is in sole control.

Tech may take his music seriously but Sickology is by no means a serious album. Throughout the album Tech makes it a point to focus on his two favorite subjects - alcohol and women. Or more specifically, women’s breasts. Or more, more specifically, womens’ areolas (the area surrounding a woman’s nipple). Poh Me Anutha is an alcoholic ode to the pleasures and after effects of too much drinking, an adults only joint that exhibits Tech’s more comedic side. Equally amusing is the pounding Party and Bullshit and the “never say your sorry” anthem Sorry and S**t. In fact the man’s got an entire track dedicated to the aforementioned areolas – appropriately titled Areolas – a quasi-satirical track with a chorus that’s impossible not to chant, as long as there aren’t kids anywhere in the area. Tech’s ability and willingness to make highly skilled and highly-profane music has earned him a cult following, and that cult’s growing so large it’s threatening to become a religion.

Are you trying to seduce a hot date? Looking for something fly to bump as you roll down Rodeo Drive in your (rented) Lamborghini? Then I highly recommend you stay the fuckk away from Sickology 101. But if you like unflinching creative expression and no holds barred hip-hop, then sit down and start taking notes. Class is in session.
