Endemic Presents...No Cure Mixtape Vol.1 Hosted by DJ J-Ronin and Mixed by DJ Squigs



I been sayin it for a few years now, and this mixtape is just further proof that when it comes to dope, true school Hip-Hop production, just like the influx of them in the NBA- the boys from across the pond have made their presence felt and are gaining respect rapidly. European producers have gotten so damn proficient at that good ole' boom bap it's becoming expected for me to discover a new producer or production duo that I find ill from over there at least once a month. Guys like The Snowgoons (shout out to DJ Waxwork!), Shuko, The Kollabo Brothers, The P Brothers, Tommy Tee and DJ Wich have arrived in a big way and released their respective projects to resounding applause and critical praise. Their skills transcend any language or land barriers and now you can add Endemic to that list of elite foreign Boom-Bap beatsmiths. Operating out of the city of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, Endemic has been working with many of New York's finest underground emcee's for a few years now. Mainly collaborating with Boot Camp Clik members and underground DJ extraordinaire DJ J-Ronin, Endemic already has quite a few admirer's of his production skills, myself included.

Naturally the next step in his career will be to drop an album called "Terminal Illness" that will undoubtedly showcase his first-rate production abilities, but first he's gonna release "No Cure Vol.1", which is meant to preview his skills to all those that have been sleeping on his stuff and ready them for the impact of his debut. I know, from being a total DJ J-Ronin "All Elements" mixtape hound, what this kid is capable of (he's done production work on many a J-Ronin tape), and as soon as I heard he recently put out a mixtape I rushed to get it, bump it and then blog about it.

There are 21 superbly produced joints on here, a few dope instrumentals mixed in and guest spots from guys like Sean Price, Buddha Monk, Planet Asia, Ruste Juxx and The Gza. If you dont like this you don't like raw Hip-Hop. J-Ronin Hosts and DJ Squigs is on the mix.....
