Shine - Revolutionary Rhythm

They all chasin' dollars cause they too scared to chase dreams

          Another sick track from Revolutionary Rhythm, I have no idea as to when they are coming out with another album/mixtape. So they drop a random song here and there and this is one of them.
         A nice exchange between these two. All about finding inspiration, chasing dreams, and making all that into a solid reality. There is just a lot of nice real messages spread on this one. And I absolutely love the way Predom carries on this track. He probably holds my favorite verse on this track. Of course when you hear the first couple bars on Abstrakt's verse that is just as crazy. These guys really are a revolutionary rhythm. One of my favorite lines:

Givin more of what you askin find the same passion in rappin', providin different answers

This is what a lot of people need to realize with music. Everyone has a passion about something and you need not put others down simply because your definitions contrast. Appreciate what people love, and be happy they care about something as much as you do.
        The production is also exquisite. Right when I heard the drop with those strings I just fell in love with that loop. And that hint of soul under the music, that nice humming. And this another drum beat that kicks hard and adds that bounce in your step. Nice work to Suhnraw.

Keep track of their soundcloud, as I myself often miss when they put up a new song. Support something this real, peace!

Get to Know: Revolutionary Rhythm

           After Fellowship I started exploring the producers work, and Rythmatical really led me in many directions. From the works of Lorisoul, to Rhyme Crusaders, as well as the cast of Behind the People. Revolutionary Rhythm was one of those featured on the BtP project. And the opening track of the album, "1 Step Ahead" really got my attention once I became familiar with the album. So I watched there video on YouTube, and what do you know! They possessed a Bandcamp page, and kept checking out there work, till I was convinced to download "Just Listen" there big mixtape. I have really loved it, so now they I have explained how I discovered them, let me give you a little of what they are about.

         Being part of the underground these two MCs, out of Cali, they make one hell of a duo. Using the tight production that Rhythmatical used to spark my interest in all these artists, I already knew I would be digging the style of R2. Several things I love about these guys. They really pay respect to the golden age of hip-hop, and are representers of that old-school style. But keeping it unique at the same time. There are tracks like, "Only a Song" where they just master a deep track that is very smooth. Another track, "Burning Tongue", showcases Pre-Dom's skills and his flexibility in styles, where he came hard on a raw beat, classic old style! The rap was reminiscent of say, Jaz-o and Jay-z back when they were both starting out. When it was just that rush of words comin' at yeah. While not only referencing these old school folks, "we listenin' to Tribe and some Gang Starr", but they bring something totally unique. These guys are quite modest and are very respectful of women, which is always nice when bumpin' shit with a lady friend. But they really do make those good love tracks, without any corny or otherwise disrespectful lyrics. Certainly you will see this on tracks like, "There She Goes Again", "Smooth" and funkier tracks like, "She Said". Just good tracks where they just spill there soul about girls, not bad at all. And when you wanna play a track to your friends and impress them, you can blast jams like "Return" and "Raw Rhythm", the latter showcasing there skills to just bounce off one another ripping up a beat. Also using great techniques in production: sampling movies/songs, and bringing the scratches back. Then there is just smooth tracks. My favorite being "Los Angeles Times". Mind you, I have just this one mixtape, and I only hope they make more. And of course I'll be doing some in-depth reviews of the tracks as well.
