In the hiatus we missed out on covering a lot of good music so in the next few weeks I'll be attempting to fill the void.
Today's featured track is Action 5 courtesy Shawn Crysis.
If we're being honest his whole project, hangOn, was flames. Spoken word, smooth and gritty raps fill your headphones start to finish. What I love most is the imagery he creates with his prose. I don't know if you understand how hard that is to do without visual. Action 5 starts with a crazy skit that really hits deep in your soul as hard as the kick and snare when the beat drops. Crysis grabs the microphone but this time as a reporter rather than a rapper. I'd love to see a visual in the form of a news package than your average rap video. Awesome track point blank period. I need you to feel this, and the rest of the album. Action 5 after the break.
