Buff 1 built up a massive buzz based on his debut album “Pure,” and he is standing right at the forefront of the burgeoning Detroit hip hop scene. Even with his solid debut that was deemed ‘classic’ in a review on Okayplayer.com, his sophomore effort “There’s Only One” shows tremendous growth and should keep his buzz growing. Detroit production outfit the LabTechs lead the way on production, with additional help from Black Milk, Now On, Athletic Mic League, and more. Get it on FATBEATS.

With years of recording and worldwide touring under his belt as a member of Slum Village, Elzhi finally brings us his debut album The Preface, which should cement his name amongst the truly great emcees in hip hop. Produced almost entirely by rising star Black Milk, The Preface shows Elzhi displaying not only his unpredictable flows and rhyme schemes, but also an impressive variety of concepts and subject matter. Guest appearances by Royce Da 5’9”, T3 (Slum Village), Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, and more of the finest talent from Detroit only add to what will certainly be one of the most noteworthy Hip Hop releases of 2008. Get it at FATBEATS. Also Available in a MP3 ZIP file here.

Got to honoustly say that we didn’t really know a great lot about the man S1.  Only knew him from the S1&Illmind album from back in the days, on which he really killed the intro track with the Rhodes over the George Benson - The Changing World sample. Now hearing this cd, it’s a damn shame we didn’t tap into this guy earlier.

He is the producer from Strange Fruit, never knew that before, they always come with the heat. This album contains all S1 (Symbolic One) productions with a wide range of artists rapping or singing over them, just to name a few like: Big Pooh, Rah Digga, Tanya Morgan, Skyzoo. The beats are crazy with ill samples and the dude plays some mean ass boards, and his style has a breath of fresh air to it. Be sure to go get that disc, it’s worth your while.
