The Alchemist - Chemical Warfare
XLR8R
65

On his latest project, Chemical Warfare, producer/MC The Alchemist is rolling with bigger names than ever, but working with platinum acts like Eminem and Three Six Mafia doesn’t spark anything especially inspiring.

P.O.S - Never Better
XLR8R
75
P.O.S has learned to broaden his sound more than ever.
Johnson&Jonson - Johnson&Jonson
XLR8R
80
Once again, Blu delivers through and through.
Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
XLR8R
90
There’s little doubt that trendy clothing chains will be using this stellar album for background music, but these instrumentals represent true forward-thinking headphone hip-hop with the off-kilter yet sturdy drums, a wide range of collaged cosmic samples, and just enough silky vocal contributions.
C.R.A.C. Knuckles - The Piece Talks
XLR8R
80
Blu and Raach get breezy, bugged-out, and dead serious while never really losing hold of their lucid flows and bump-worthy beats.
Haiku D'Etat - Coup de Theatre
AllHipHop
70

Any Hip-hopper who can appreciate reliable yet unpredictable music will find something to take out of Coup De Theatre.
