1st Official Review Of "The Process"

2009-09-22T09:17:00.002-04:00

C.G. (producer of the lead single "Monopolee Money") has just sent me his review of my upcoming album "The Process"! The album will be released on October 20th...hear is what C.G. had to say regarding the album:

"Elus' solo debut album "The Process" is exactly what hip hop needs; a breath of fresh air from hip hop's birthplace.

Elus kicks the album off with an intro, "The Oath" with pianos, militant drum rolls and catchy lyrics. The song makes it clear that Elus is coming in hard and catching everyone's ears.

As the album continues along on, songs like the motivational "En Route", the darker and hard hitting "Here I Come", the smooth yet struggle inspired Triboro collaboration "Thru It All" and the light hearted "When Opportunity Knocks" show Elus' diversity as an artist that include him singing on the chorus and/or breakdown. Don't get it twisted though, Elus keeps it thorough on all of the songs without a single trace of bubble gum rap.

Hip hop fans will really enjoy the "hypnotic" feel of the City assisted "Bubonic" with it's tough lyrics and up tempo beat.

My personal favorite comes up next, "The Free Hit Pt. 2" featuring Pete Colon, where the two talented MC's go back and forth on the verses and chorus. This song is a true banger with it's gem covered lyrics with a catchy and smooth beat and chorus.

The only skit on the album "Retweets" is completely hilarious with the cameo appearence of aspiring comedy rapper Jay Frost. Elus fans that are familiar with Frost will especially enjoy this as he has his own song and meets Elus face to face in the studio.

"Me and My Microphone" shows Elus confessing his love for being an artist and how being an MC is what he is meant to do in life.

On the darker "Engineer Ya Hear Me", Elus and Sledge attack boring and garbage rappers and MC's. However, both MC's take it a step further and attack the engineers for recording and mixing such trashy hip hop songs and artists (if you can call them that). The chorus sings, "Hello engineer ya hear me? You should be killed, I mean that dearly."

Next up, "What You Know About Me" allows Elus, Fred Da Godson and Goodz to boast about their accomplishments as MC's. Covering everything from holding a Guiness World Record and presenting a commercial on BET in support of President Obama (Elus), turning down record deals (Fred Da Godson) to having music videos on World Star Hip Hop (Goodz).

"Monopolee Money" (the album's lead single) provides a catchy chorus with a blaring organ on the beat along with lyrical verses. Produced by yours truly, the song asks, "How you gettin' fresh with Monopolee Money?" The catchy breakdown provided by Chaoss does nothing less than further catch your ear with a new electric guitar and synth melody.

"5 Mic Heat" comes back on the lyrical edge with assistance from the Ghetto Kings Key and Meek. This Kwan Lee produced song provides fans with insight to how the Source would view this album; 5 Mic Heat.

Last but not least, "Power Of The Mind" featuring Triboro's newest member Verse on the chorus, background vocals and a perfect verse. Elus continues to hold up to his name and motto; aspiring to inspire as Hip Hop's Savior. This song provides nothing less than almost 5 minutes worth of inspiration and still does so in the catchy sense of the rest of the album.

Before you throw this album on repeat, Elus provides a bonus track, "Merryjuana" featuring Chaoss and the Ghetto Kings own Juno. This smoker’s anthem has a hype club beat with a sing along chorus for all fans to enjoy, smoker or not. This is the perfect song to ride out to or dance to in the club, providing lots of energy for you have before you put the album on repeat.

Overall, all I can say about Elus' album "The Process" is that it is nothing less than a 2009 classic. Everything from the lyrics, to the beats and production to the mixing (done by Elus) are nothing but perfect. This is the 2009 version of Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, The Chronic, Doggystyle and The Slim Shady LP but done in Elus' fashion and style. This album is a perfect mixture of positive and inspirational hip hop with enough edge for the thugs and still soft enough for the females and children."

- By C.G. for C.G. Productionz (producer of "Here I Come", "When Oppurtunity Knocks" and "Monopolee Money")

Show Recap: "More Than Music Pt. 1" Concert!

2008-11-07T11:59:00.000-05:00

The concert at the Hip Hop Culture Center in Harlem was popping last night! Big ups to all the artists who was on the bill...special thanks to my peoples for coming out to show support! Of course Triboro shut it down as usual...albeit I forgot my lyrics to "Fly Away" (a potential single off the upcoming collab album "Gr8 Myndz Think Alike"), we still shut it down! Big ups to Big House for turning the game off on stage and my sister, Mala Reignz had the whole club rocking! But the performance which blew me away personally came from my cousin, Mr. Skinny (aka Heat)...usually I have a negative critique on his live performances but last night he looked like a superstar! Dee from Ruff Ryders was so impressed, he ended up calling my cousin's cell a few times on our way back to my studio...today he is supposed to have an impromptu meeting...albeit Ruff Ryders isn't in the best of shape currently as an indie label, its still a good look and just shows what I already knew about my cousin, dat he is dat nigga! He's da reason I started rapping after all! Elsewhere during the concert, Verse shut it down, performing "Up and Down"...a single off the Hip Hop Project soundtrack! Jus' Rhyme (Newly formed group consisting of me, Pete Colon, Kasim Allah, & Rich Kid) performed their single "We Hungry" at the conclusion in which the video directed by Ralph MacDaniels was shown to the concert goers...the video is official, I'll be uploading it shortly for you all to peep! If you are in the Tri-State area, the video will debut on Ralph's legendary Music Video show, 'Video Music Box'...check your local listings..it airs this weekend (time and day varies depending on where you are)!

I am now a fulltime artist (left my 9-5 and shit)...I will be updating my blog regularly and keeping you aware of the day-to-day happenings of everything I am involved with or in support of! Well to bring you up to speed briefly since my hiatus...I currently have a collab album that my group, Triboro and musical genius Verse are collectively working on! We have production from some of the cream of the crop of producer's in the industry....I am not at liberty as of now to mention who these people are due to contractual obligations...but lets just say, the album is in good company! I am also working on my third and final installment to the "On With The Show" Mixtape series...that should be released top of 2009! To give some insight on that project...it will showcase me as a songwriter! Vol 1 displayed my love for real authentic Boom Bap Hip Hop...Vol 2 displayed my versatility as a recording artist in Hip Hop...and this next installment will center around me as a songwriter! Many of you know that I make incredible music (thats what they tell me...not my words)...Vol 3 will showcase me as a songwriter...it will also serve a dual purpose in getting you ready for my solo debut album, Ghetto Griot..which as of now is intented for a commercial release at the end of 2nd Quarter 2009! Things are moving along smoothly me being a fulltime artist now...so keep tuned to the blog for the day-to-day happenings of Elus!
