Betrayl - The Problem And The Answer Hosted by DJ Scarface

Really happy to see this brutha return with a new project. For those that don't know or remember duke, Betrayl is an up and coming emcee that hails from the Boston and New Bedford area's of Massachusetts, that unlike so many other new emcee's trying to break into the game, actually possesses massive talent. A throwback type of lyricist who's style mirrors that of hardcore 90's Hip-Hop, Betrayl first busted on the scene a few years ago with his stunningly dope mixtape "The Life And Death Of My Hood". It was on there the hungry emcee rhymed alongside NY street rap legend's Tragedy Khadafi and Nature and held his own, solidifying his status as someone to keep tabs on in the future. Time has passed and Betrayl's name has dwindled a lil' bit amongst the ever fickle Hip-Hop audience, but devoted hardcore fans have kept his name alive via blogging and forum activities. More recently he's linked up with DJ Scarface; a dope new artist in his own right, for a few Mixtape efforts, one of which is brand new and I'm bringing to y'all here today. "The Problem And The Answer" has a fitting title....Betrayl is indeed a problem for all the lames currently posing as "artists" and the answer for all those yearning for someone to take it back to when cats were spitting about real shit over hardcore production. Filled with a bunch of freestyles that showcase his dexterity and musical taste's, this is an interesting new effort for Betrayl. I find his best work on here comes courtesy of Mastermind's productions however. All in all a more than noteworthy effort, if for nothing else the thoughtful hardcore content.
