Creative Juices presents Endless Varieties Vol. 2

This right here is an underground head's wet dream man. I first started checkin for the Creative Juices crew awhile back, when I was given a free sampler of theirs at a show. Right away I liked that man IDE's production a lot. It was real precise, yet it still had that dusty, authentic sound that you get when you add 1 part vinyl, one part good mixer and one part MPC 2000XL. I liked Alucard as well man, he was a very capable MC, and he would often suprise you lyrically, but in all truth his rawness was the real reason I dug his joints. The only cat I really can't build with a whole lot in the crew is Jak Progresso. Nuthin' against him personally, I just ain't feelin' dukes style, that's it, no disrespect to his art. Other cats in Creative Juices are a lot more agreeable to me, Iron Soloman, Swave Sevah and so on....their nice. Plenty of well thought out and solid rhymes when you listen to them, and their deliveries are ill too. They ain't afraid to spit into a mic, which is somethin we need to hear more often man. Ain't no timidness in they voices tho, not at all. Although I've dedicated a little bit of time to hype up the stable of in-house Creative Juices MC's, on this project it's the slew of well known and established talent that comes thru that really steals the show. From the jump this project is blessed by the talents of some serious vets. On the intro is none other than Mista Sinista, so from jump things pop off correctly. Sinista was also good enough to mix the whole project, so you actually get to enjoy his talents the whole time. From this point on, you know that Endless Varieties is going to live up to it's title. From Thistin Howl, Prince Ali, Ill Bill, Breez Evahflowin', Brooklyn Academy, Steele from Smif & Wessun, Prince Ali, Shabaam Shadeeq, Kieth Murray, Casual, Planet Asia, UG of Cella Dwellas, Necro, Mainflow and Little Vic, this compilation is littered with worthwhile underground artists rockin' to some crazy beats. This is a really good look for Creative Juices man.....and a great way to jump in the game as well might I add. A lot of underground cats get with a nice producer and release a few 12" inches and think that they are automatically some dope underground cats. Nope. Sorry man. I've heard too many bad Eyedea and Craig G impressions to rock with that. I like the way IDE and his boys is steady building momentum into the game. I checked out the first Endless Varieties, and while that was very dope, I can already tell that it'll be totally eclipsed by this joint. Not even close. The Intro gave that away. Every fan of real, poignant, well done, underground hip-hop should check this out, and while you at it check these cats out on Myspace too.
