The Latest Greatest, 1/23/11
New double CD by Xczircles and Aamir, both of the West coast underground group Escape Artists. Entitled "Swan Storm" and "The Quiet After the Storm" respectively, these albums are packaged together and will be released on Ooohh! That's Heavy Records on March 1rst. Though I haven't really followed their releases, the Escape Artists have been putting it down for a while now and are a well-respected group in Southern Cali's massive underground circuit. Xczircles has done a fair share of solid production work for LA heads, including an excellent instrumental album "The Purge" which went almost entrely unnoticed due to record label difficulties. In case this info doesn't interest you though, these two upcoming albums boast a jaw-dropping guest list of West coast talent: Aceyalone, Myka 9, Awol One, Eligh, Scarub, Bigg Jus, 2Mex, Ellay Khule (on a couple spots!), Riddlore?, Gel Roc, Mike Ladd, K-the-I???, and the list goes on... That pretty much guarantees these albums at least a listen in my book! Tracklisting and sample songs below:
