Edan - Beauty & the Beat

The press promo is out there. Thirteen tracks. Guest appearances by Insight, Mr. Lif, Percee P, and Dagha. As far as I can tell, Edan produced the whole thing himself. If you don't know Edan - he's from Rockville, MD, and is now based in Boston. He DJs, raps, and makes beats.

This is his autobiography:

EDAN DO IT HIMSELF.

He has some dope mixtapes - Sound of the Funky Drummer, which dropped last year, and Fast Rap, which a lot of you should like, since a bunch of you get your panties in knots over doubletime flows and Bone Thugs members and what-not. Edan's whole niche is making an older kind of hip-hop. His flow, his delivery, the way he goes about making his beats and how they sound - it's all a homage to the old school (the real old school, in addition to the early golden age). On one bar, he'll reference Rakim and Grandmaster Caz while rapping with Kane's flow. He's also got an ill live show, or that's the word.

Anyway, the album's really good. When it comes out, I'll buy it, rub it on the head of my dick. You should download it, listen to it, see Edan live, etc.

Here's "Making Planets" off of the album. That's Mr. Lif on the second verse. Don't bitch to me about the promobot, it's what downloading asses like you and me deserve.

Ohh shit that flow is definately something, the beat isnt bad either...enough to get me interested enough to seek some of his other shit.

Anyone know the sample used during the Mr. Lif verse?

 

[sniper]

oh man, u know ur bout to be stomped by stans rite roaches ?

 

[ImTheEffinOne]

i must have been seriously livin under a rock, cuz i haven't heard about this dude in a minute...and to this day i haven't heard this track.

although, i'm hesitant about callin a white dude better than my man Sole or Sage...what can I say...I got love for my Anticon bules.

is his shit on IRC or Soulseek?

 

[Pittsey]

I know I'm gonna get hated for my next comment but...

His style, delivery and flow reminds me a lot of eminem during his Infinate days.


Where can I pick up his cd? I'm in UK?

Dude is from Rockville MD??? Thats like 10 minutes from me and I've NEVER heard of this cat......Then again, if he resides in Boston, maybe he's involved in the underground scene there, cause I sure as hell haven't heard of this guy in any of the local shows n shit.
