After The Chaos Comes Karniege
Are you tired of hearing the same noise filling the music industry? Do you feel it is in a state of repetition that is leading to its doom? Well after the chaos comes Karniege and he is looking to devour your distaste for hip-hop and infuse it with musically delight. He has three albums dropping in 2008 to whet your appetite.
First up is Mighty Joseph (Karniege and Vast Aire) with the album, “Empire State” that is collaboration with one half of Cannibal Ox. This album is of monstrous proportions which the album cover definitely depicts.
Next up is Nasa and Karniege team up with the album, “From The Left” which will show you what is right.
From Karniege Myspace: The combination of Karniege’s gruff hard-delivered rhymes and Nasa’s heavy progressive beats is something that has been brewing for a minute.
Last but not least is the The Invizzibl Men (MarQ Spekt and Karniege) with the album, “The Unveiling” combining two of the hardest working in the underground.
From BackwoodzStudioz.com: The result is a ferociously hard rap record bristling with gunmetal beats and lyrics still dripping spraypaint.
If you pick up all of these releases then you will have all you need to prepare you after the chaos. Karniege is not here to destroy but to rebuild your confidence in music.

Bavu Blakes Gives Free Music Every Week
Bavu Blakes Presents…08 So Great (A New Flow Every Week) a new series where he will deliver a new song every week in 2008. That is 52 songs for free in 2008. This has to be one of the most refreshing ideas from an up and coming artist. It will allow him to gain a wider audience as well as showing his diverse styles. Every song so far has been infectiously good that it will continue to make me go back for more. The songs are all free to download and some have videos of Mr. Blakes spitting in the booth. If Bavu can pull this off and not lose steam, it will push other artists to step up to the challenge.
