Absolute Fire
February 28th, 2010
After a couple months of intense grinding, The Soundmen have done it again with Moontones .In what might be their best work yet, they teamed up with P.SO to create an unbelievable EP. You can hear samples from Memory Tapes, Midaircondo, Kleerup, and more artists. But what really sets Moontones aside from your average and above average record is the undeniable synergy between P.SO and The Soundmen.
From the second the synths first hit in the intro (Almost Home), you get the feeling that you’re going to fall in love with this album. Don’t be surprised when you not only listen all the way through, but are quick to run it back. P.SO quickly hits the nail on the head, ”This is headphone music for your mental state.” (Heavily recommended you throw on a nice pair, and put something in the air).
When reviewing music, the easiest thing to do is draw comparisons. But I can honestly say that this is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. The diversity within the EP itself is notable. Each song carries a different flavor, and hits hard. Each beat is intricate, and well developed. Each synth and snare is exactly where it needs to be. P.SO truly delivers the entire time. From every hook to every line, his lyrics and rythem are spot on, leaving you wanting more. I can’t wait to watch where he goes within the next year, it is apparent that the possibilities are endless.
For me, the most notable song is Fate My Mistress (Track 6). As the beat builds and each layer is added, you’ll get the feeling that something great is on the way, and it truly is. The intricacy behind the verbal patterns on the hook is addictive. But what really does it for me is when the song comes together right after the first hook (1:50), “Things will never be the same again; I’m walking and I’m feeling the pain again; and I’m so lonely.” It just doesn’t get much better.
As you can tell by now, I can’t say enough about this album. It’s a reflection of pure talent. With all that being said: this thing is free! Get it on your ipod now, so in a year you’ll be able to say you were up on Soundmen and P.SO before they blew up, it’s gonna happen.

Shyne Signs 7 Figure Deal With Def Jam Records
Multiple sources have confirmed that Shyne Po has signed a 7-figure deal with Def Jam. This ends a bidding war that had industry bigwigs vying for Shyne’s attention, flying to Belize, calling and courting, ever since the Brooklyn emcee was released from prison and deported to Belize back in October.
For Shyne to turn down hard-court pressure from Jimmy Iovine/Dr.Dre and others and instead join LA Reid back at his last known recording-residence actually seems like an inevitable move….because I’ve been hearing that Shyne has been pow-wowing with veteran manager Kyambo “HipHop” Joshua for a while now. Joshua and his HipHopSince1978 partners, Gee Roberson, also manage Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy and more. Meanwhile, my old friend Al Branch is both a partner in HipHopSince1978 and a high-level exec at Def Jam…see how that works? Synergy! Now there have been recent reports of new label-wide pressures, but with this team in place, Shyne is in good hands.
As for the logistics, the plan is for Shyne to work out of London, it’s a buzzing hip hop hub with all the necessary facilities. Oh, and about that first verse which appeared on an early DJ Khaled album leak (and is allegedly scratched from the final tracklisting)…I’m hearing that Shyne didn’t intend that verse to be his first look. After nearly a decade inside, he’s allowed a little time to figure out what direction he’ll take.
I’m all for it on the condition that Shyne never works with DJ Khaled again.
