Reppin’ the scene since 2004, the Turntable Anihilists truly embody the true essence of hip hop. As individuals each member of this crew are insanely talented embracing every aspect of hip hop culture. The Turntable Anihilists Crew consists of four members, DP One , DJ G.I. Joe, Blowout and DJ Xplor. These four members have gained ample experience in developing their craft through involvement with breaking, emceeing and Deejaying in the club scene. These cats have been seen/heard touring with artists like Lauryn Hill, Immortal Technique, opening up/sharing the stage with various artists such as Common, Black Moon, Method Man, Little Brother and Beatnuts. (just to name a few). Like I said, individually these cats are insane but together…. this crew is F I R E!!!
Sage Francis continues to do well for himself and his label. He is featured on two new tracks from B. Dolan and Prolyphic & Reanimator. If you want to preview the songs, keep reading after the jump or check out Strange Famous Records.
Disclaimer: This is the first time I have listened to a full album by Atmosphere, so by no means am I an expert on them, nor am I necessarily the ideal person to review this product. I do consider myself a fan tho. I have seen them live several times and try to see them whenever they come through my neck of the woods.
That being said, I would say that the feel of this album is more of a high quality mixtape than a full blown release. It reminds me of something you would cop from their merch table at a show. That in no way is a slight to this product. It has a very personal feel to it. It’s almost as if this album is a few pages from Slug’s diary set to music. So enough of the preamble … lets get to the music.

Troublemakers, a collaborative effort between Dirt E. Dutch (Indiefeed) and Breez Evahflowin (Stronghold) is available now in both digital and CD format. The album is a personal yet accessible statement on how music can shape a man’s life and cultural views. Troublemakers features 12 quality tracks surrounded by colorful sound bites serving as a harsh narrative to the reality ridden rhythms. Breez Evahflowin takes a mature approach to covering various topics: politics, relationships, loss, and good times. The lead single, “Don’t be afraid”, is carried by a soulful hook and the verbal warnings of the current cost of fame. The video, slated for February, boasts a mixture of cutting edge animation and eye popping visuals. Spot dates and tours will begin winter of ‘07 into spring of ‘08. (more…)
