As an avid Aesop fan, I have made it a personal quest to find all of the music he has released to date. His unique style is one that never grows old. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the Bazooka Tooth album (though it was still artistic and innovative). That was, until I heard the Rockhead EP by J. Kingz. In a seemingly odd combination, J. Kingz fuses the avante-garde musings of Aesop with the beautifully eerie downtempo music of Portishead. And this is not just your typical mash-up or a sloppy slapping-together of two opposing styles and genres. J. Kingz blends the two equally inspiring artists into something that sounds totally unique. Each beat and vocal sample taken from Portishead is chosen to suit the tone and mood of the flows laid down by Aesop (courtesy of Bazooka Tooth). Not to take away from Aesop or Portishead in their original forms, but J. Kingz gives the selected tracks a whole new feel and vibe. I highly recommend this to any Aesop Rock and/or Portishead fan, not as a replacement for the artists' original works, but as an excellent tribute.

Sesh is what this reviewer needed. There are no mentions of drug dealing, killing people, disrespecting women and there is very little profanity. The hip-hop underground is a strange place-- sometimes there are hopefuls that lack talent but hold onto the dream of making it big no matter who or what tries to dissuade them, while other times, there are simply fantastic individuals who are blessed with more than their fair share of talent and get slept on unneededly. The latter best describes Sesh. I sincerely hope that Sesh will get a larger fan base and more exposure than they already have because anything this dope needs to be shared witheverybody.byOmegaXLSource:http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/11a07.html

TRUST ONE: The All Seeing I
This CD is more than just music. It contains the heart and soul of many talented emcees, thousands and thousands of hours of hard work put into thought prevoking lyrics and melodies. With so much going on in this crazy world we live in, it is important for people to wake up and absorb a deeper meaning within the hiphop and rap community and beyond. There is much more to life than cars, money, and drugs. Times of change are upon us... its time for people to step out of their box and detach from the shell....

THE FORMULA IS ABSTRACT
For Those Who Have Eyes, Species Thelow
Musical and Lyrical Genius. A Complete Musical Masterpiece. Can those two phrases be used to explain an album? They can when the album is a work of art like this one. The production on this album is almost unparalleled in the music industry. In our present day, time and time again we hear mainstream artists boast of production by some well respected mainstream name or label and how incredible the music is or is going to be, and so many times we are still left disappointed by these artists due to having ZERO control of their art and offering nothing different from the last artist or really not having well crafted their skills in having an album that makes complete sense from open to close. This is much more than just throwing some songs on an album.
For those familiar with the group The Society Of Invisibles, Species album, For Those Who Have Eyes, may appear as another chapter in the groups book-although that is plausible it is not the case as this album is a book itself. For those unfamiliar with the group or Species I must warn you that the world you are about to hear will make your mind see things that you will never get in mainstream anything. The album is a musical movie or novel in your head with imagery painted so precise and pristine that you only need your ears and a third eye to see every part of For Those Who Have Eyes.....
