Adeem - Memory Lane is Merciless (200?)





One hip hop artist I've always had a special appreciation for is Adeem, of Glue, The Dorian Three and the macro-scale 1200 Hobos. His music is always conscious and creative, plus he has the credentials to prove his contribution to the indie rap scene with two victories at Scribble Jam.

Adeem's 2011 album The Volume in the Ground is one of the albums that consistently gets play on my iTunes. Maker's production coupled with Adeem's voice, songwriting and technical ability combine to create a seriously dope listen. For those who aren't familiar, first off how is that possible, and second off I suggest starting with that album and maybe downloading this one to check out later on.

Memory Lane is Merciless is a tour album Adeem put out, I don't know when or why. It contains some remixes, live performances and unreleased songs, and is definitely something a fan would want to have. It's not his best work (not surprising as these songs were never intended to be put together in this format) but it is a rare release from a respectable rapper and firmly fits the definition of a fossil. Enjoy!
