Emillio Rojas aka Raks One- A Breath Of Fresh Air



This album truly lives up to it's title as this young MC (Who is actually latino, not white) that sounds dangerously close to the second coming of Talib Kweli both in voice and content, rips into the heavy and well done production. Many would dismiss this release without even giving it a second shot, but trust me, that is absolutely not what you want to do, I can't think of a more worthwhile newcomer for you to waste an hour bumpin'. With production coming in bulk from a cat known as M-Phazes (see Kenn Starr, Strange Fruit Project etc.) the overall sound of this project is soulful yet gritty, and coulden't be more addictive.....all you Kev Brown and Khrysis fans beware....there's a new kid in town. Stand out tracks include Up to Speed, Ya neva Know, Things Change, Life Ain't Fair, Incredible Force, Somtimes and Why'd You Have To....
