“I am a Belorussian in New York...“ no that's not a new Sting song ( hope you forgive me that wordplay..) that's the first what I thought after I read the impressive biography of the talented artist LoDeck. With his début called “Postcards From The Third Rock” LoDeck invites us to his perception of inspiring modern Hip-Hop music. Together with the exceptional producer Omega One, who is known for his outstanding productions with Vast Aire or Self Devine and his critically acclaimed début “The Lo-Fi Chronicles”, he delivers one of the most surprising and interesting Hip-Hop albums of this year so far. No gangsta attitude, no boring “RNB meshed up beats”. This is Hip-Hop with attitude and an honest sound, lyrics with deepness and a meaning. These album sheer outs from the known Hip-Hop attitude and the boring mainstream sound. The lyrics are refreshing and inspiring, straight out of the hips LoDeck wipes the floor. Omega One is the one who adds the right intelligent soundtrack to LoDeck's rap-art. Omega One mixes different influences to a kind of experimental Hip-Hop sound. This duo dispersing a mixture between “telling stories with the real sound” and high-spirits. High-spirits? Yes, because it pleases your ears when you listen to this wonderful carefree Hip-Hop. It's the genius and heart blood that can be heard right from the first moment when you listen to this album.
Wonderful, honest and pathbreaking! 10+
