Backpackers, this one’s for you.
Super catchy, super positive album from 6-man strong group ‘New Life’. Good punchlines, and witty comebacks lace this free EP and I’m already a fan. It still feels relatively young and rough around the edges, but these dudes have a lot of potential.
In all honesty I’d be pretty sad if I didn’t Minneapolis didn’t produce music that I didn’t enjoy. If you don’t know why I say that, you’d better take that too cool for school hat off your hipster head son. “Fuck a King Tut, gimme Pac, no hologram”. Haha! Come on, you have to listen to it now.

Over the sea and not so far away to Switzerland, Juellz has just released his first solo effort ‘Jewelz’. It’s a record dealing with disappointment, every day obstacles, but throughout an overall positive LP. Considering this dude cold barely speak a word of English only a few years ago he puts a lot of native English speakers to shame with his wordplay.
I really enjoy the instrumentation, it’s well placed and interesting. I especially like how Juellz vocals sounds next to some piano-driven tracks. This is full of collaborations, as well as quite a few American MCs and producers adding their skills to the record, such as Mista Classic, King Magnetic, Reks, K-Rino, Awon, and a plethora of others.
This is a chilled, yet pretty funky release and is a very impressive first effort from Juellz.
For fans of Q-Unique, Reks, Awon (I know those last 2 are obvious but you get me?)
