Back in the Spring of 2008 I came across a group from Des Moines, Iowa that shocked me with their raw poetics, impressive scratching skills, and vinyl archaeology. Their self titled album went under everyone's radar and their follow up almost fell to the same fate. Almost.
Today, after digging through my collection, I came across their debut and decided to check what Maxilla Blue (MC Asphate Woodhavet, Producer Aeon Gray, and DJ TouchNice) were currently working on. Lucky for us, their sophomore album was still steaming under the heat lamp.
Volume 2 is Maxilla Blue's sophomore album and serves as a continuation of sound and focus from their self titled debut. We find each member still on top of their game, but an obvious progression in chemistry and musicianship sweeps fear of a sophomore jinx under the rug.
"Underrated"is an incredibly overused word in the hip hop community, but it's all one can say when the music speaks for itself.
Below are a few tracks from the new album, a new unreleased song, as well as two from their debut in case you missed it. You can buy Volume 2 on CD/vinyl here and both albums on iTunes.
