Flow Official - The Free Speech LP (Album) - Listen Here
The Free Speech LP
title may not be what you initially would expect. While Omniscient and Emo are known to speak deep about world politics, this album gears more towards social everyday views with additional grit to make your head jerk. Tracks like "Under The Grey Skies" and "Good Morning" embody the struggles we may have faced in life, with a belief in making change if we truly apply ourself to that additional sacrifice. On "My Love" the crew shows their faithfulness and loyaly to the controversial gangja leaf. Tracks vary across the board on this album with emotion, knowledge and simply wordplay for entertainment sake. Yet the album would not be complete without a nostalgic song reminiscing about the old and new in their home town of Miami.

Swollen Members - "Warrior" - Listen Here
While Swollen Members may have enjoyed a successful career as one of the premier groups’ in underground hip-hop, but when it came time to record their sixth studio album, they were forced to confront the skeletons that had been hiding in their closet. During the time the group’s new album Armed To The Teeth was taking shape, Mad Child was struggling with drug addiction, Swollen Members’ record label had collapsed, he was embroiled in legal battles and his association with outlaw motorcycle clubs provoked police to swarm his house in full riot gear. With a desire to consistently raise the bar within the hip-hop genre, Mad Child and Prevail were inspired to beat back personal demons and concentrate on creating the most powerful musical statement of their career. Revitalized, focused and stronger than ever, Swollen Members are armed and ready for war. Swollen Members heavily anticipated new studio album, Armed To The Teeth, features guest appearances La Coka Nostra, Talib Kweli and Tech N9NE.
