Well it's about time! The ever elusive Son of Ran returns to San Diego after a few short years in the Bay hustling his highly sought after Sky City album (No, we still don't have it!) and pairs up with producing collective The Messangers...and that's not a spelling error by the way. Incoming Message is about growth and maturity and finding your place in this world. Son of Ran is one of the most talked about emcees that you still haven't heard of...but his message is inspirational. Disciplined and spiritual, faith based and promoting the values of family and friends in life, it is through hip hop and his writing that he is able to share this with the listener. As an incredibly skilled lyricist, the soulful production provided by the Messangers helps fuel the energy of the album on a personal note, like morality tales for the streets he's from. It's time to see what all the fuss is about...

Buy it if you like it, this album is a slept on gem, one of the best releases in '08! "Haven't heard of him before" I hear you say... well now's the time! And if you like soulful boom bap beats, The Messangers have that in abundance and together with Son of Ran, they don't disappoint! A very good release which definitely deserves more mention.
