Blak Madeen’s “Let The Good Get Even” is an excellent excavation of neo-classic Hip Hop audio dynamite. Impactful lyricists Al-J and Yusuf deliver powerful prose over C-Doc’s impeccable soundscapes. Together, the crew serve the listener a new gem-packed 11-track album that holds itself to the high standards of the golden-era. The potent lyricists are joined by top choice Hip Hop practitioners and legends including Chuck D, Sadat X, Tragedy Khadafi, Daddy-O, El Da Sensei, Antlive, Blacastan and G Dot for a masterclass in the boom bap arts.
In an environment severely lacking in substance and knowledge, these artisans craft a masterpiece to fill the genre’s cultural void. This newly minted platter of social commentary, knowledge sound bombs and true school production will have real heads basking in audio bliss and new ones in awe as they breach a universe of sonic awakening. -IZ-REAL
