Metawon – Choplifter! (Album Review)
Ira Lee | February 9th, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Alberta producer Metawon comes out swinging on progressive BC based hip-hop/electronic label Neferiu, with his new compilation album ‘Choplifter’.
Cam the Wizzard in his seemingly effortless flow and trademark baritone rap’s ‘people eating people, and then those dead people get back up’ on the albums best track, ‘Zombie Apocalypse’. A wickedly nerdy concept, brilliantly executed. Royal – T delivers with a sweet K-Os diss and solidify’s his status as the lost Fu-Schnick. The father of Edmonton rap, Touch is on a ‘Real Sirius’ mission destroying a dark, floating, wireless apocalypse. The clinically insane Lexington and Whatevski (Calgary, AB) rape the tense, operatic audioscape and crispy drums of ‘Best Western Medicine’ and ‘Real Ill’ ft. Planit is exactly what the title promises. Ghettosocks’s smooth-daddy-delivery on ‘Right on Time’ proves too much for Jeff Spec, and Treetrunk Imaginations Chadio and Azrael trade dope verses over an airy, synthy boom-bap beat on ‘Discriminating Tastes’. Just B really gives ‘er, but winds up getting pinned to the mat by the dopest beat on the album ‘Joy and Pain’ Read More
