Asamov - The Trailer Mix Tape (Part One)

My plans to do "battle" type reviews for Kill The Critic have been postponed. But in the meantime I will do a quick review of the cd that came before the now critical and popular acclaim.
Paraphrasing some of my own words from diy revolution the group @ MySpace.com (and future zine):
ASAMOV [Pronounced Az - em - mahv] is A powerhouse hip hop group from Jacksonville, FL with a new album out, And Now, featuring J-Live and Little Brother's 9th Wonder. But before the official debut, these dynamic MCs/DJs released a limited run of cds intended as an effort to appease impatient fans. It worked and won over new listeners like myself.
I first heard Asamov at MySpace, and was lucky enough to get a copy of The Trailer Mix Tape, a full-length teaser and pleaser. I'm now hooked on the dope beats and rhymes produced by these four MCs... Honestly, I haven't been this excited about a hip hop album since I first heard ATCQ's masterpiece Low End Theory.
At the moment I'm stressing over other music-related material, so I will continue this blog, possibly sometime tomorrow, with a complete review of Asamov's prelude to a hip hop masterpiece.
