Himself - PROVIDENCE PLAYS NO FAVORITES CD
December 1, 2001 by Jeff

Coming off the strength of THE NETHERWORLDS LP, one third of that trio, HIMSELF, is dropping his debut solo album on GALAPAGOS4. "PROVIDENCE PLAYS NO FAVORITES" shows this prolific MC’s talents as a songwriter, while keeping up that bump you’re expecting. HIMSELF digs deep and offers up heart and soul in his lyrics. Whether rapping introspectively or snapping off at the lip, it is never in vain. The beats knock with that LA to Chicago vibe, with ANACRON handling most, and DJ PNS, DJ White Lightning, Justin Tewn & Aloe all stepping in with one banger. "Providence" is sure to keep all fans of THE NETHERWORLDS satiated and attract those looking for the soul to be brought back to hip-hop. Cop it now on the product page!

Qwel - If It Ain't Been In a Pawnshop, Then It Can't Play The Blues
September 4, 2001 by

A prolific MC that has the sheer talent to combine innovation, philosophy, and that necessary bit of arrogance? Hip hop has never seen the likes of Qwel, and it will not be the same hereafter. Add the music of Meaty Ogre and the chaos of DJ White Lightning, and you have a truly groundbreaking album. As a member of Typical Cats, Qwel was able to introduce to the world his amazing skill, and with this solo release on Galapagos4, his newborn legacy continues. If It Ain't Been In a Pawnshop, Then It Can't Play The Blues is a window into Qwel's soul, and if you're not careful the glass may shatter.
