Editorial Reviews

As the second producer compilation from S1, he opens his "Music Box" to a mix of new and familiar talent, as he continues to influence listeners through his own brand of Hip Hop and Soul music production. Comprised with a variety of urban independent artists, "Music Box" provides you with a soundtrack for life. Through various artist's production and beat battle competitions, S1 has carved out his own style and flavor of music. "Music Box" enters into the next phase of the urban progressive movement. The lead single "Mash", features Big Pooh of Little Brother while his other half, Phonte, display's his multi-faceted talent on the classic joint "Callin Me." Inspectah Deck collabs with westside newcomer Blu to maintain their emcee grip on the game from coast-to-coast. Also, Yolanda Johnson, BET J Soul Artist of the Year, announces her arrival and lets you know who she is on the song "Chemistry." The album also features Tone Trezure, Rah Diggah, Darien Brockington, Bavu Blakes, Mojoe, Kay of The Foundation, Strange Fruit Project, Speech (Arrested Development), The Lifesavas, Tanya Morgan and more. As the "Music Box" winds its way through every track, it forms into one classic influential compilation album that urban music fans can reference for years to come. This release has the strength and talent of past compilations such as Heineken's "Red Star Sounds Vol. 1", DJ Jazzy Jeff's "The Magnificent" and the soundtrack to the movie "Brown Sugar."

This review is from: Presents S1: Music Box (Audio CD)

2005 was the first time i heard about these guys.i heard them at a friends house.it was the sog called speed bump.

after i checked them out online i also found out that these cats are from the southside.personally i dont like the typical southern hip hop.

but these guys or an exception in my opinion.

there style is kinda like hip hop greats like the OUTKAST.while i personaly think they even got more swing on some songs.

this is really good hip hop and the way it should be.

these guys are so slept on it makes me mad,sad because this shows what music bussines is all about these days.

in my opinion they are way better then talentless cats like 50 cent and g-unit.



to anyone who loves real hip hop.go cop this.they are so good that i even conside to buy this cd(a cd) wich i didnt do in years.
