Out of all the releases in 2008, I was most excited about All City's 7x7 Beat series. In case you don't know, All City Records released a 7" record each month beginning in the first few months of 2008 with Dimlite releasing an 8th 7" in early 2009. The series is comprised of some of the most forward thinking producers in hip-hop beats and electronic music. Producers include: Snowman, Mike Slott, Fulgeance, Mweslee, Le N?ko, Hudson Mohawke, Onra and Dimlite. Each 7" is a heavy hitter and all stand out in their own right. Though in my opinion, the most interesting in the series came from Mike Slott with "Knock Knock" on the A side of the 7". "Knock Knock" is a wonderful track, as lame as it may sound, it is one of the most happiest sounding songs that I've ever heard. I'll leave it at that. Other standouts include Onra's "My Comet," Mweslee's "Jamas Jame Jamon," Le N?ko's "Akedam," Dimlite's "Quiz Tears," and Fulgeance's "Revenge of the Nerd." The music isn't the only thing special about this project, Dom from the LuckyMe crew designed each sleeve. The artwork is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.
