glad2mecha & ill treats: the return
Francisco Espregueira
The long-awaited follow up to Hello, the first collaborative effort by the duo Glad2Mecha (the MC) and Ill Treats (the producer), arrived last week. The Return sounds like a backstreet of New York with its jazzy vibes and bold real words. The jazz rap flows unlimited, reminding us to revisit projects like Jazzmatazz, Slum Village or Jazz Liberatorz.
Building Blocks and HHV are the labels responsible for issuing another fruitful collaboration from this underground legendary duo that features guests by the likes of Grand Puba of Brand Nubian, Psycho Les of Beatnuts, ScienZe and Realistic. Brought to you, with all their realness, by Phoenix native Glad2Mecha on the M.I.C. and Brighton's talented beatsmith Ill Treats. Golden Hip Hop on a 2 vinyl LP.
