“I Dropped the Chrome”

Stones Throw, one of my favorite hip hop labels, has been in a very giving mood recently. First they offered us the new album by Madlib and Talib Kweil for free download. Although personally, in my opinion, the quality of that release offered them no real choice.

Stones Throw recent release ‘Chrome Children’ was one of the better Hip Hop releases of last year, a variety of great Stone Throw artists strutted their stuff, and it also came with a yummy DVD featuring a live show in Texas. You can see a 9 minute preview of this DVD including Madlib and MF Doom performing under their Madvillian moniker.



Stones Throw has decided to give away the sequel to ‘Chrome Children’. ‘Chrome Children 2’ is a healthy follow on from its first inclination. Although it features artists not on the Stones Throw label, like two Fourtet productions (one great the other... meh), and even a ‘Gary Wilson’ production who if I’m correct is that dude from the 70s, but don’t quote this blog on that.
The Stone Throw regulars like Madlib (providing his usual beats under a dark dark haze of smoke), Oh No and lesser know Stone Throw artists round off the cd providing a electronic hip hop soul fun fair for all the tight arse families out there.
