This is Hip-Hop Tour...

... Aside from the lineup being fairly one dimensional for a tour called "This is Hip-Hop" and the lack of any elements other than rapping/MCing being represented (hey, I'm a Hip-Hop head not just a rap listener so I've got to

If I was to believe memes... Rappers/MCs keeping real rap alive (Part 1).

... If I was to believe memes then real rap would have died out with Biggie... I however know better than that as somewhat of a rap connoisour and appreciator of fine lyricism... Haha. Or, I just don't follow fucktards and

I hadn't actually heard of Cookbook (yet had heard of LA Symphony) until not long ago when I stumbled across this looking up Evidence on Deezer. I'm glad I stumbled across this EP however as it is extremely solid, dope beats, solid rhymes, good real rap for those that like their music without auto-tune, trap, or shitty rhymes. I highly recommend checking it out.

Crazily enough in checking if the release is on bandcamp I discovered it is indeed, and it's up for free download. Jump on this, you won't be disappointed:

Be sure to drop a comment and let me know what you think when you check it out. Otherwise feel free to let me know what you've been listening to and what is worth checking out.

Here's the clip for the title track from the EP:



PS. While I do think this EP is very dope, I have checked out some of Cook's older stuff on his YouTube channel and found it a bit skippable. I'm going to check out the last 2 volumes in his EP series tho as if this one is an indication then he's still doing some very good music.

Sooo... Blogs and stuff...

I've been feeling the itch to get my write on in a non-rhyming way for a little lately and as funds are reasonably tight for the time-being the option of launching/re-launching a site isn't so much available. This has prompted me
