Atmosphere is coming out 4/22 apparently... far off

I'm excited for "The Wonder Years" (9th), "The Revival" (Royce), and "Undeniable" (AZ)

The 2007 FOUR Awards

Unofficial Release of the Year

"I Miss 1994" - Prince Ali

Don't confuse this Prince Ali with the one from the Bay. Well, if you listen to each artist once, you will KNOW the difference, and that is that Prince Ali, the one from Toronto, is light years beyond the one from the Bay. With the added help from producer Incise who is coasting side-by-side with P.A. as the next best young duo who just missed out on winning co-rookies of the year. There is not much info going around about these two, but they've enlisted the likes of Craig G., a known battle-rap master... Tragedy Khadafi, an underground legend... and Kev Brown, who can do both the rap and beat thing.

"Rap Author" with Craig G. was perhaps the most extraordinary song I've ever heard. The beat gives off a serious light but at the same time is pretty relaxing, especially with the way Prince Ali flawlessly flows over it. If it wasn't for a product of 9th Wonder again, this song would have taken the Song to Download for Unofficial Releases award. 77 plays speaks lengths. The bass level speaks deep. This song alone has me checking for new P.A. stuff all the time.

The other songs provide no real drop off. This is solid music at it's highest point. Wishful thinking: If only more artists would feed into the idea of dropping that definitive **** even if the Album release is getting pushed back by that pesky label. This mixtape my friends, was a free download from P.A.'s very own myspace. The saying goes that the best stuff is always free. Prince Ali makes me believe in it.

The Get Back playcount was pretty rediculous, but not much more rediculous than this one...


(I didn't have Material Possessions until October... the rest was with me in March)



Past Unofficial Release of the Year Winners:
2006: "Floe Almighty" - Edgar Allen Floe

Dook, you going to the Brother Ali show in Dallas March 19th? brotherali.ducatking.com I'll be there.

Not sure yet. I might go. I hate that it's a weeknight and Dallas is a hour and half drive. That Friday the 21st is my birthday though.

Yea XCell, I was going through this entire thread making a list of artists to torrent, and after hearing Prince Ali, I was automatically hooked. Plus he distributes his album freely online. I like him

Hell, man; I'll be driving three hours from Oklahoma to make it, but I still know what you mean.

Where do you guys go to find out what concerts are coming through your area? Its hard to do it with these underground artists. I usually look on their websites, but alot don't have a website, and for those that do, most of the info is out dated.

If they have a msypace, that is where they usually post their tour schedule.

I bet you if you sent messages to my boys in the O-K, they'd hit you back too.
