A force in the San Diego hip-hop scene since 1995, rapper, producer, and DJ Mr. Brady recently released his latest album, Labor Of Love. Eschewing his own emceeing on the project, Mr. Brady manned the boards for this latest release, working with artists including Blu, Diamond D, Exile, Aloe Blacc, Opio and Tajai of Souls Of Mischief, and his own Deep Rooted crew – Mr. Brady is a co-founder of the group – featuring each over his chopped, soulful production.

Mr. Brady – Dusty Baker

Swollen Members rampant Canadian industry-shakedown did nothing short of placing the personification of what ‘underground’ hip-hop once was atop a celebratory silver platter, by all means, they are large (in Canada). But to the American ear, the Battle Axe sound still speaks of a grit-scape and sans Abstract Rude’s mish-mash of a million styles on P.A.I.N.T., their next Stateside artist to pounce on a full-length scale, Mr. Brady, continues on the Madchild-like path of force and flare. Too rugged to even come out on Battle Axe, their shadowing subsidiary, Underworld is the host to the San Diegoian’s debut disc.

Dusty Baker is pretty dusty. Musically produced entirely by the artist (minus one track by companion DJ, Mike Czech) this is 10 songs of full-force Brady styling. While his debut Battle Axe single, “Let My Record Rotate” might still remain his most memorable slice yet, Dusty Baker still revolves with equated lows and buzzes. The opening, “Vibe Killer ” pounds and is probably the one to revisit most often, for behind the boards Brady meets Rob The Viking and Havoc Of Mobb Deep on just an alright day. In fact, the mentor-ish Tony Da Skitzo’s newer flows on “Everlasting Passion” sum this effort up, perhaps it just been too long since the “Molasses” days, but his welcome presence still isn’t much to make this album stay in play too long. Dirty mood music, squared-up braggadocio, with out a whole lot more to back it up. So raw its soul is scarce.

Mr. Brady – Let My Record Rotate / Mud Slide / Street Lights 12Inch

Decent beats throughout, but I wasn’t floored by this 3-song single. Mr. Brady’s gruff voice is affecting to a certain degree, but the way he puts words together ain’t all that clever. These days, so many MC’s are out there with competing flows, you either have to come crazy simple and accessible (see Biz Markie) or impress with the complex (see Mos Def & Talib Kweli). Brady falls into the nebulous middle region and there’s not much to pull him up out of the masses. Like I said, the beats are a’ight – the flute-flavor on “Let My Record Rotate” sounds like something Joey Chavez might have thrown together (and since I don’t have production notes, maybe it is Venice Joe), the strongest one of the three. “Mud Slide” is dark like its dirty namesake, but is perhaps a little too simplistic. This ends with the spacey “Under Street Lights” (feat. Buc Fifty ) which is cool ’nuff.
