Ready to "Break Free"?

Orlando Hip-Hop is in uncontaminated hands

     What we have come to know and love as Hip-Hop has evolved immensely in the past decade, some feel for the better, some feel for the worse. With the focus shifting from meaningful lyricism & crafty story telling to a banging baseline & catchy melody; Brutal Black definitely has something to say in regards, and the sentiment was skillfully & clearly expressed in his latest project... 

     The Break Free project is pretty much a lyrical onslaught from start to finish, with the sole feature being Jake the Adolescent on "Try Ya Best," which happens to be a standout track, along with the featureless "Kicko Mode" which seemed to be a showcase of brute lyrical force over an array of well-mixed classic samples. Just listen, so you can understand.

     As made obvious from the first few bars you've maybe already heard, Brutal Black is a high level MC born in Manhattan, New York & bread right here in Orlando, and who happens to make good music at that. Having listened to this album a few times already, its clear that he has an old school influence (having referenced several greats dating back to the early 90's) & a big time passion for the art! Which of course is something that can be appreciated by any listener, myself included.

We would love to get your reaction in the comments, and help getting the conversation started!
