The latest dope release from the long running underground Hip Hop label, Chicago's Galapagos4 label is Asphate's (of Maxilla Blue and Bumrap fame) 10 track album titled Closed Doors To An Open Mind solely produced by Maker who has made more than a few dope albums with label mate Qwel (Typical Cats) amongst many other memorable albums and tracks over the years.
Closed Doors To An Open Mind is in all honesty a breath of fresh air, it doesn't sound like today's Hip Hop and it doesn't sound like 90's Hip Hop, if anything the sound and style lies within early 00' to mid 05 and it is incredibly refreshing to hear mad cuts and scratches through "Maud Dib" (provided by DJ TouchNice) which features label mates Qwel, Hell.sent and Qwazaar (Typical Cats), Qwel also appears on "A Shadow's True Colour's" and I can only gather there will be another Maker and Qwel LP in the near future.
The Vinyl purchase for Closed Doors To An Open Mind includes download code with full album and instrumentals, as well as digital lyric-photobook, in G4 label jackets with art print by LETER91, a fellow Scarce Elementz member alongside Asphate himself.
Massive props to Jeff at G4 for sending this smooth album through.
