Spent some time today doing some organizing of my office at home and came across a bunch of CDs that I guess I had never loaded on my computer and so had fallen off the radar.
One such CD was from the super DJ Cam's ' My Playlist' which can be hit or miss depending on your tastes but does contain some gems.
One such is 'R.U?' by Athletic Mic League as described by DJ Cam in this compilation "escape from the motor city "detroit". one of my favourite hip-hop track."
This tune is gritty with its observations and has that great flow that we have come to to love from Detroit-there is no messing with this sound but you still have some west coast sounds hanging out keeping things nice and smooth.
Truly a hip-hop classic.
I gotta do this post as a shout out to Soundnexx up there in Detroit who represents the people that make the music, the music that brings the love and loves the people that bring us the music.
Hats off to you Nexx mate.
Some info. on AML from theirspace:
The six emcees of Athletic Mic League came together while still
attending high school in Ann Arbor, MI. Known then as the Anonymous
Clique: Buff, 14KT, Grand Champ, Texture, Tres Styles, and Vital joined
forces with DJ Haircut and after two years of love and support from the
local hip-hop community they made it official. Athletic Mic League was
out to show the world what their brand of hip hop was all about.
In November of 2003, AML released their single "Feel It"
to a thunderous reaction from the hip hop nation. Their new album
Jungle Gym Jungle, is a highly anticipated watershed moment for both
Detroit and for hip hop music.
