The Extraordinaires is a collaboration album between Zambia based emcee The Holstar (Slam Dunk Records) and Canada based Nigerian producer Teck-Zilla (Str8 Buttah Productions).
This is a 10 track album made up of gritty, soulful beats and insightful topics. A much needed departure from today’s flash in a pan, pop hook laden rap songs we are all used to. From the self questioning “Blackman Struggling”(feat UK based Mister Rae of Str8 Buttah), nostalgia inducing “Past Present and future” to the rapid fire ratatat found on “Skills” Feat Southern African MC Zubz. The Extraordinaires is a prime example of hip-hop in its purest form, thought provoking and head bobbing.
The Holstar and Teck-Zilla first linked up on Africanhiphop.com where they collaborated on Zone Fam’s “To be an African” taken off the African Hip Hop Mixtape. They then went on to work on Zone Fam’s dope first full project “The Full Script” which was when i first became aware of their music and was one of 2010’s most downloaded Mixtapes on the African Continent.
Tracklist;
01 – Back In Effect
02 – Black Man Struggling (Ft. Mister Rae)
03 – Past Present And Future
04 – Master And King
05 – My Star
06 – Triple L
07 – Keep Holding On
08 – Skills (Ft. MC Zubz)
09 – Moment In The Music
10 – Words From The Archetype

Urban Vault Presents ‘Vault Assault Vol. 1’ Compilation Review
Mornin’.
You know when your mates hype up an MC or group so much so that when it comes down to actually listening to them they ain’t nothing special, and they actually sound worse because of the disappointment. Well Ramson Badbonez was over hyped to me, so when I finally sat down to listen I was half expecting to be disappointed. Right here and now I put my hands up and say I’m very sorry for ever doubting my boy’s judgement. Ramson should be A LOT bigger than he is. Almost flawless delivery, sharp technique and a vibe that’s somewhat reminiscent of Task Force. I know we say it a lot, but you really are missing out if you don’t at least give this guy a listen. Thank us later.
Taken from Ramson’s forthcoming debut LP ‘Bad Influence’ dropping on Boot Records in early 2012.
