Comments for RUMMAGE, thahandclaspinduction

Check out some music at www.akhenation.com on the downloads page. ---- "What you'll find is a talented lyricist with a distinctive style matched with top notch production. For the bling bling crowd, corner boy set and radio drones this album ain't for y'all. If you're open to good music, experimentation, originality with a dose of abstract funk then I encourage you to read on. The songs with the chance to reach the widest audiences are the head noddin mixtape worthy bounce of Cognition and the solid certified undaground collabo with PhillyHipHop.com 2001 Artist Of The Year Grand Agent entitled James J. Hill. You all know what to expect from a Grand Agent appearance... Rummage flexes his mic stylings with equal verve on Dissentary, The Niagarra Falls, and Merchant Medallion, where you'll hear lines such as "sterilize your habitat, neutralizes and tap and slap, jaw jock jams, for far rock fans, you insist on fandangling, fandango angling, danglin' with the merchant medallion... Thahandclaspinduction is yet another example of why the Philadelphia area is the most fertile breeding ground in the Hip Hop universe." Review by Snow @ Phillyhiphop.com
