In 2009 there was an LP that got the frozen shoulder from fans, bloggers, and journalists alike, but I never understood why. German production duo JR & PH7's "The Standard" instantly raised the standards attached with creating a memorable hip hop compilation record. On top of the vivid artwork, refreshing production, and tasteful song sequencing, the no namers from Deutschland brought 20 very different hip hop artists together and somehow kept a cohesive synergy and sound throughout its 17-track body. A feat many veteran producers fail to hit on their own compilation projects.
For those that missed their last release, you're in luck. JR and PH7 are brewing their follow up LP, The Update, set to drop this fall on Soulpasm Records. In the meantime, they have dropped a dope 6-track EP, aptly titled The EP, that features Blu, Termanology, Oddisee, Ohmega Watts and Trek Life. The EP is available to purchase now via iTunes; however, below, you can find two of my favorite tracks to spread on your gums before you snort the rest of it up.
