The debut album from Audible Mainframe, a live hip-hop band formed in Boston in 2003, now living in Southern California.

Framework finds the fledgling band recording together for the first time, supporting MC Exposition's poetic observations of life in the new millenium. The band had barely been together a year, when they won the 2003 Beantown Meltdown Battle of the Bands, and simultaniously scored a recording deal with college label Emerson Records.

By this time, MC Expo, already a respected lyricist in the local scene, had released his debut album "The Metro" to critical acclaim across the East Coast and beyond. Creating a live band to take the music to the stage seemed like the logical next step.

Coupled with the unique beats of The D-Boyz (DJ MUTT and guitarist Lethal D), the songs found on "The Metro" comprised the new band's live set, until the group was offered a 3-month period of time to write, record, mix, and master the album that would become Framework.

The hectic pace aside, the album came together smoothly, with the band and some friends from the Boston music scene spending the first two months of 2004 in the same studio that houses the venerable college music station, 88.9fm WERS.

Released in the spring of 2004, "Framework" debuted at number 14 on the College Music Charts, and opened many doors for Audible Mainframe, who would go on to become one of Boston's most noteworthy live hip-hop groups.

With featured guests such as Boston emcee Reks, singer Kelli Scarr (formerly of Moonraker), Toussaint the Liberator (formerly of Soulive), and a 5-piece DJ collective known as "The Deck Demons", Framework has something for everyone.

The much anticipated follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album, Granite State returns with The RE:Public. Their first release changed the preconceived notion of how Hip Hop should sound, while their sophomore album takes listeners deeper into the eclectic world of Doug York and Bugout. Blending together the edge of Rock and 90's Boom-Bap, with an underlying essence of Soul, Granite State has blurred the line between socially conscience and commercially entertaining. After three years of touring the country, The RE:Public is Granite State's story of struggle in response to those they represent.

Backed by strong production from Evidence (Dilated Peoples, Kanye West), Statik Selektah (Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Q-Tip, Freeway, Consequense), and DC the MIDI Alien (AZ, Termanolgy, East Coast Avengers, Army of the Pharaohs), Granite State have exceeded the expectations of many, and associate their appeal to the void that needs to be filled within a dying culture.

It's been a year since DJ Statik Selektah made sure the world "spelled his name right" and now he's back with his sophomore album, appropriately entitled Stick 2 The Script. As always, Statik steers away from the over-fabricated, ring-tone production that is popular today and backed by a who's who of street-credible, time-tested emcees, comes correct. Mixtapes and mixshow radio programs from NYC to LA are already playing the lead single, "To The Top," which features Cassidy, Saigon and Termanology. Rik Cordero hopped on board to direct the Reservoir Dog-inspired music video which has already received over 100,000 views. Cordero himself has been featured in Hip Hop Connection, Rolling Stone, Vibe, XXL, ect. and has directed videos for major commercial artists including Jay-Z, Nas, and Snoop Dogg. Other stand out tracks include "For the City" which is a New Jack City-inspired song featuring M.O.P. and Jadakiss and finds Statik utilizing a cappella tracks of soulful chanting to create this New York City classic.

Stick 2 The Script encapsulates Statik's East Coast boom-bap production and brings this sound to the South on "Get Out The Way" which features Bun B and UGK-alumnus Cory Mo and to the West Coast on the lowrider anthem "Cali Nights" with appearances by Glasses Malone, Mistah Fab, and Novel. "All 2gether Now" is a powerful reunion of State Property's Freeway, Peedi Crakk, and Young Chris and Consequence gets it on solo with the Kanye West co-signed "Mr. Popularity" which is currently making the rounds online and on mixtapes.

With King Magazine hailing it as "soul sampling boom bap of the highest caliber," the album will undoubtedly be hailed as as a savior of true Hip Hop. With Statik's signature sound, DJ Premier-inspired scratch hooks, and support from big name guests, fans will gladly be "sticking to the scipt."

Is it better than "Spell My Name Right", you decide! Dope album nonetheless, don't sleep.

Hip Hop heads from every generation have all agreed on one thing: POSSE CUTS RULE! From “Live at the BBQ” to “Scenario,” the essence of the posse cut has left an indelible mark on the Hip Hop genre. Enter underground sword-swinger ESOTERIC (of 7L & Esoteric) who goes coast to coast and combines with virtually every other underground heavy-hitter in the country for the sake of the posse cut. JEDI MIND TRICKS, C-RAYZ WALZ, DEL and TAJAI of HIEROGLYPHICS, RASCO, DJ Z-TRIP, APATHY & CELPH TITLED of the DEMIGODZ, J-LIVE, PACEWON, BREEZLY BREWIN, REKS, J-TREDS, THE PRUNES, COUNT BASS D, and many more swoop in and handle business alongside ESOTERIC. Featuring plenty of unreleased material and a few rarities and remixes, this limited edition CD is a must have for any Hip Hop fan. A major bonus on this record is the never before released audio of the ARMY OF THE PHARAOHS’ ESOTERIC, VINNIE PAZ, and VIRTUOSO live on BAHAMADIA’S radio show in 1998, right around the recording of the classic first AOTP 12”.

Virtuoso’s fire-breathing battle rhymes and intricate true to life stories have made him one of the hottest new artists on today’s international music scene. His first three singles, "Incinerator", "Beatdown", and "All We Know" have received very positive critical acclaim and heavy radio play worldwide. His debut album, WW1: The Voice of Reason became an instant classic on the independent scene.

Virtuoso’s trail-blazing lyrical genius, packaged in a unique blend of hip-hop, rock, funk and R&B has garnered major media coverage. He has been featured in magazines such as Blaze, Urb, XXL & many more. He has been nominated for the Boston Music Award 3 of the last 4 years, was the subject of two recent feature articles in The Boston Globe, and won The Boston Phoenix Reader’s Poll for the past two years. His dazzling freestyle skills also earned him a final-four finish in the Blaze magazine MC Battle, as well as a write up on the inside cover of The Roots, Things Fall Apart ("Virtuoso’s mind blowing freestyle performance"), and a favorable outcome in his now infamous face-to-face freestyle battle with Wyclef Jean.

Virtuoso sets himself apart from much of today’s popular hip-hop by producing thought provoking music that challenges the negative traditions so prevalent in society.

Listen to track 4, "Fearless"
Listen to track 9, "Skills 101"

Being an underground fan, and an MC myself I thought this CD contained some of the best material to ever come out of Boston. Reks gives the word "underground" a new meaning by combining dope beats with nasty lyrics. Unlike many MC's out, he actually has something to say besides how great he is and how wack everyone else is. After listening to the CD the listener can get a feeling about where Reks is comin from and what he's been through. Guest appearances include Esoteric, EdoG, Rasco, and many others. The best song is "Science of Life II" featuring A.l.i.a.s. of OVM. I think that even people who are not really underground fans will love this CD, because of the beats, catchy hooks and flavor that Reks brings to it. *Review taken from Amazon.com*
