Gonna let Michelle McDevitt speak on this one. Her words are far more eloquent.

The f0nk duo, Georgia & Declaime, has busied themselves with the delivery of another single off their album, SomeOthaShip. Featuring Kazi and produced by Black Milk, the song “SomeOthaShip Connect Game” delivers on beats that Declaime AKA Dudley Perkins just couldn’t resist. “SomeOthaShip was unexpected – originally, Dudley, Kazi, and Grap Luva were going to do a track over a Kev Brown beat, but when D sat down and heard Black’s beat, they recorded right away,” says Michael Tolle, founder of Mello Music Group. Declaime rides a piano-laden f0nkdified beat to drive home the message about the sometimes-inauthentic hip-hop industry. An eerie melody accompanies Declaime’s description of a life consumed by partying, alcohol and drugs – a life the public has come to expect from those in the industry. The emcee chooses to remind listeners that regardless of facades and fronts, real hip-hop is still alive. Reintroducing a verse from the song “Get Up”, Declaime affirms his position in the game as a respected artist and emcee by declaring, “Return the war vet / Bet your bottom dollar that/You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

The album is available now via Itunes.

Is it me or could Encore , Planet Asia, and Kazi battle each other with no one being able to figure out who’s who? Not to say that they sound absolutely identical, but there’s a lot of similarities in their baritone flow as well as short, punchy rhyme scheme. None of this should take away from the fact that Kazi’s new 12″ is great – solid rhymes and beats on every track. Madlib gets props for handling three different songs and being able to flip a different style on each one. Kazi does fairly well though honestly, every song on here is a variation on the same theme – i.e. “I rock/you don’t”. Of the litter, I’d go with “A.V.E.R.A.G.E.” first of all, mostly b/c Madlib’s super-smooth, darkly soulful beat is the hit. Follow that up with the snappy “Wake Up” which takes the tempo up a touch with its minimalist drum n’ bassline combo. “Down For The Kaz” is mad nice too musically – easy-going, jazzy – but I found the lyrics just a tad too simplistic.
