    This guy is incredible. His Rhymesayers debut album Together/Apart was released last month and, in my opinion, is one of the best albums this year. He just released his fourth single from the record, Against The Bottom, which you can watch the video to below.

    You can purchase a physical copy of Together/Apart on Fifth Element or digitally on iTunes now. :)

    Together/Apart is hands down one of the best releases of this year. Grieves is such a gifted writer... and it shows the most in this latest album. Beautiful word choices, metaphors and such. Just amazing! Budo killed it on the production side of things too.

    Definitely! The progression that he has shown from Irreversible to 88 Keys is astonishing, and I hope he continues improving on his sound as well as having some collaborations with other Rhymesayers artists. :D

    Grieves is cool, I like his style but I only like a few songs cuz of his beat selection.

    Rymesayers is an awesome label though, probably the best hip-hop label out there. P.O.S. produced half his album Never Better and his rhymes are out of this world. I also like Grayskul, cuz they make some of the scariest crap you've ever heard, and of course Atmosphere has some nice stuff.

    P.O.S is actually a recent favorite of mine after hearing him on the Grieves' track War For The Crippled :lol:

    Really like Lightspeed. I just found this guy the other day and he seems pretty good. I should probably listen to his whole album. But I gotta say he doesn't have the best name for a rapper. Grieves sounds like a band name to me :lol:.
