Quest-Rah and Viro the Virus

I have new two reviews up at RapReviews this week.

One is Quest-Rah's "The Ancient Tapes Vol. 1" mixtape. He is Islamic rapper from London, who is as heavily influenced by the Wu-Tang Clan as he is by the Koran. He isn't preachy, and has a nice Middle Eastern flair to his production work. Not bad.

The review is here. Or, paste this into your browser: http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/2008_11_ancienttapesv1.html



The other album I reviewed is Viro the Virus's "The Sharpest Blade." He's a Jersey MC who raps in a deliberate, enunciated style, dropping one-liners and some clever rhymes. I was into it.
