Project Blowed 10th Anniversary

This 10th Anniversary Album made up of various MC's is hands down one of the dopest displays of ill lyricism I have ever come across. For those that don't know, Project Blowed located at Leimert Park, Los Angeles is the longest running open-mic for Hiphop in the world. It was actually born out of the Good Life Cafe, which was a health food store which hosted an open mic that fostered a wide array of talented artists, pushing their lyricism even further with restrictions such as no cursing allowed (or else the mic would get taken away). From the Good Life Cafe arose groups who have reached quite a following such as Jurassic 5 and Freestyle Fellowship, but many of the other artists have been sadly overlooked. Many of the MC's on this album are extremely talented and never got the shine that they deserved.
Some of those MC's: Aceyalone, Riddlore, Abstract Rude, Busdriver and Rifleman made this live track on the Project Blowed 10th Anniversary album.

Bottom line is that this is an ill album with an amazing arsenal of styles and lyricism that will give any true lover of hiphop new slaps to enjoy and bump. If you don't already have it, download it here!
