The Sessions Mixtape Volume One Produced by One5 and Hosted by Rack-Lo

This is a treat for all you NYC hardcore heads who always are looking to hear a nice remix....

Rack-Lo of the Lo-Life crew has teamed with The Schematik Entertainment Camp and producer One5 to bring you a deep roster of underground talent, all remixed over One5's original production...

Ripe with boom bap laced criminology and free-flowing poetics in abundance, "The Sessions" is a lil' bit more than just your average blend tape....In fact it's more like one of the most engaging remix project's that I've heard in a few years.

You'll find the bulk of this enjoyable as One5 re-works joints from several of the underground's most firmly rooted names like Doujah Raze, Sean Price, Little Brother, Supastition, A.G., Talib Kweli, Rakaa of Dilated Peoples and C.L. Smooth...The latter of whom takes part in one of the best joints on this gem by dropping a proper perspective on his and Skyzoo's "Perfect Timing" collab from last year.

Even "Brooklyn 2 Auckland", the ubiquitous overseas collab joint that more often than not never goes right and should never be re-visited no matter who's attempting to pull it off oozes with instantly enticing lyrics and polished melodramatic strings.

After bumping "The Sessions Vol.1" One5 should def. be on your radar as a beatmaking force and Rack-Lo should be given some credit for bringing his talent to the forefront...

Whether you like remixes or not you can't deny the fact that this music is just what the doctor ordered in a time when overblown commercialism and shotty production is running rampant. Rack just doesn't do much to assert or advance his career on this and that's the only shortcoming of the project. As far as his A&Ring skills go however, the Lo-Life passes with flying colors...

An 8 outta 10 effort...nice!
