Al-J - The Past Meets the Present
Artist: Al-J
Producer: Teddy Roxpin
Album: Blak to the Future
Label: Leedz Edutainment
With his Booth-hosted debut just a week and change from release, Al-J returns to our pages with another world premiere off the project. Coming on the heels of late October’s reader-acclaimed Above & Beyond, The Past Meets the Future is a modern-day street banger with a throwback feel. Teddy Roxpin reprises his role behind the boards from the aforementioned cut, layering sampled brass hits over a boom-bap rhythm as the Blak Madeen member and Queensbridge vet Tragedy Khadafi chronicle their efforts to fight injustice and create social change through their music. For this lyrically-driven selection and much more, check out Al-J’s Blak to the Future LP November 19, when it hits The DJBooth for free streaming and download via Leedz Edutainment.

Damn! This is one powerful smack over the heads. Rough, rugged, raw hip hop.

As soon as the beat kicked in I was hooked. Love how they managed to keep the raw vibe despite a smooth delivery. This is a winner.

This was OK... sounds a bit old-school to me on the flow but It still has some appeal...

This one has that gritty street feel to it. Both of these guys flows go hard. Definitely good to hear from Tragedy again.
