JMS: June 2013

Criminally under-rated South Florida based Hip-Hop duo Epidemic (HexOne and Tek-Nition) are releasing their new album Something 4 Tha Listeners...their third after the dope debut
Illin Spree (2011)

& the superb follow up Monochrome Skies in 2012.

Something 4 Tha Listeners was solely produced by Esco except for a bonus cut produced by B.B.Z. Darney (Umang) and is available now at iTunes and on all digital and CD formats soon.

Bio for the new album...

Epidemic's junior release "Somethin' For Tha Listeners" brings to light yet another dimension of the duo's creative abilities. With soundscapes profoundly reminiscent of one of Hip-hop's most esteemed eras (the 90's), the two MC's move away from their traditionally abstract and complex concepts, into more concrete, down to earth, and real world themes. Keeping their trademark multi-syllabic, rapid fire style of rap, this time around they chose beats with fairly slower tempos to ensure that their messages were clearly understood.

All tracks on the album were mindfully crafted by a virtually unknown yet highly talented west coast beatsmith who goes by the name of Esco. Bringing to the table an authentic golden era sound, as well as adding a touch of west coast flavor, he provides a perfect musical backdrop for Epidemic to drop some of their slickest, most heartfelt, and witty rhymes to date. Somethin' For Tha Listeners was constructed to be played throughout without the skipping of any tracks.

All songs fit like integral parts of a puzzle to create one of the smoothest listening experiences in Hip-hop since the 90's. Whether you're kicking back with some headphones on, driving in a car, or listening at home with your system bumping, this album promises to take you to another time and place with its smooth boom-bap production, peppered with grain and vinyl static, while stimulating your brain's left hemisphere with intellectual, content-heavy rhymes. The album includes a fan favorite bonus track titled "Nothin' Matters" produced by affiliate B.B.Z. Darney as well as DJ cuts on most tracks by DJ Tha Boss, and scratches on "One Life" by Dixie.

Copywrite-Read it and love it. Fuck those morons talkin shit about u "giving away free music". They'll complain no matter what u do. I've known camu longer than anyone in any crew he was ever in and I know he would love to be remembered for the obsession he put into his music and art. Much love fam. U even had "hear me talkin to you". A lot of people slept and never checked that out. Props fam. I'm gonna check the przm one out too. I miss both these people daily.
D.Lynch (Solid Scheme)-Thanks for the write up, you really did your homework. Thanks for taking me for a trip down memory lane. As for not seeing any photos of Solid Scheme your correct Chris and I were really on the low. We just made beats. Chris Passed away on March 9th 2001 of a suddden heart attack he was only 31That was my Dog! As for me I'm still making beats living in Los Angeles though originally from Brooklyn.
Hitman Howie Tee-Jaz, Your da man. Thanx for da hook up, what more can I say, but BIG BIG Thanx man. I'm in Orlando, FL now just chillin with the fam. I have maadd trax, but Hip-Hop is NOT the same, it's ALL about the money. When you do hip hop for the money, you make the money, But when you do hip hop for the love of hip hop, you make HISTORY (the money will come). Think About, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five did not get the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame becouse they made money. Hollaback
