It amazes me how it’s possible to have world renowned musicians that don’t have an ear for music.  One would think that, once you make a hit song, you would have a formula for making other songs on par with that one.  Only rarely do I find that quality in hip hop musicians.  But Florida’s own Mr. Al Pete represents a definite exception to this rule, and his new project, Fish in the Forest, is indeed exceptional.  I woulda bought it the same day I heard it had it not been for… well, I got into a lil car accident the other day, and I still haven’t been reimbursed for the tow yet  >:-\

The Experienced Listener Presents: Polos and Retros: The MaturationProcess, by John Bussie

The Experienced Listener Presents:  Polos and Retros: The Maturation Process, by John Bussie



Contrary to how long it’s taken me to write this review, I’ve been greatly anticipating the release of Polos and Retros by Augusta ambassador John Bussie.  I was very impressed with his first two releases iPod Muzik 1 and iPod Muzik 2; this third effort proves to be ‘the charm’, so to speak.  Featuring the infamous song and video for Lamp Lights, this mixtape is a good listen that really gives you a feel for the REAL Augusta.  I say REAL because Augusta has many faces; I’ll leave the rest to you mathematicians out there.
