DOOM - Unexpected Guests
Worth the dough? Eh. Download it first.
Freeway - Streetz Is Mine
Worth the dough? Definitely not! This is an unofficial album which Freeway had no part in releasing.
Gift of Gab - Escape 2 Mars (Vinyl)
Worth the dough? Thumbs up! The album's been out for a week already but it took an extra week for the vinyl to hit stores, so make sure you're purchasing the correct format.
Jackson 5 - I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters
Worth the dough? Only if you're a J5 fanatic AND an audiophile.
Melanie Fiona - The Bridge
Worth the dough? You've probably heard this album by now since it's been circulating on the web for a while. Cop if ya dig, drop if ya don't.
Wale - Attention Deficit
Worth the dough? Meh. Not a fan. [Read my mini-review of the album here]
Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Meet the Indie Culture, Vol. 2
Worth the dough? If you don't like dubstep/electronica, your interest in the Wu-Tang Clan probably still won't be enough to make up for it. If you're interested in trippy remixes and blends, this is right up your alley. [Read my review of the album here]
Wyclef Jean - From the Hut, To the Projects To the Mansion
Worth the dough? Not really since it's already been (legally?/)freely circulated on all the NMC sites. Still a solid release nonetheless from the 'Clef man.

ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteso many releases...so little of interest...
ReplyDelete^ Preach on, bro...
ReplyDeleteThe Gift of Gab record is a solid release though. I suggesting downloading it first, of course; but overall I was very pleased with his solo offering. Great production.
Nice column Ivan, I really like the "Worth The Dough?" portion that you add to the releases. That really helps listeners out before downloading or spending money on these albums. I checked out Wale's 'Attention Deficit' and Melanie Fiona's 'The Bridge', now I gotta check out Gift Of Gab's 'Escape 2 Mars'. Looking forward to more of these columns from you, they're a great help.
