Rhymefest - The Manual...Produced By Scram Jones



I'm not the biggest Rhymefest fan out there so I won't pretend to be one....I have heard a sorted amount of his work and while I'd have to say that his earlier joints were my fav's he is still a very skilled emcee. I do know and mess with a good deal of Scram Jones' music however and I can tell you right now when it comes to flippin' a rock sample few in the game are as nice as Scram is....he's not a bad emcee either but that's another conversation. I find it kind of surprising that Scram and Rhymefest got together to do "The Manual", but hey, good music comes from unexpected timing quite a bit....therefore I give you this introspective and supremely Hip-Hop'esque LP; "The Manual"....

Filled with great production courtesy of Scram and a few other reall ill up and coming beatsmiths, the aesthetic on this project definitely is somewhat modern sonic digital meets 90's boom bap....Rhymefest's conscious seems to be in a great place as he demonstrates what real music is all about with top notch writing to accompany a rich sound texture....really good stuff from Scram and Fest, an LP that very well could be thee "how to" guide for many a next generation emcee or producer. Guests include Doo Wop, CL Smooth, Queen Latifah, Greg Nice, Haffa, Nature and Sadat X.
