It's been a weird week, both of us have been busy, and with the impending global emergency we figure a double upload is in order. I do have a review planned for next week, something I got the chance to listen to ahead of time that I'm looking forward to examining in more depth. But for now, I bring you Ecid's first album Stance-Sub Abusive.
Hailing from the Minnesota scene, Ecid still manages to set himself apart among such notable peers as Kristoff Krane, Eyedea and Carnage the Executioner. His signature production is always on point, and while his rhyme style is not for everyone he's usually clever with concepts and punchlines.
This album from way back in 2002 is not his best work. It's got some great production but lyrically and delivery wise he's still got a long way to go. However, it does possess a charm and with the weight of history it manages to make itself relevant, especially for his more hardcore fan base. I discovered him late, but albums like Werewolf Hologram are unique and fun listens for any indie music fan.
Also be warned, there is an issue with the last track, although the rest of the album works perfectly it has some data corruption. It's not a huge loss as it's during a particularly awful freestyle, but for the completists among us like myself it's a bit irritating. However it's better than not having the album at all.
Enjoy Stance-Sub Abusive! And in all seriousness, stay safe with this whole virus deal. You guys rock, let's all survive this and build a better world.
