Underated Collaberated - The Co-Op

This album was originally posted on Bring That Beat Back blogspot, since the link is currently removed, I'd like to re-up this underground shit here. And guys you need to hurry up.

Well...First of all I'd like to say I'm Chinese not Japanese(Jap they don't have damn firewall). I really didn't know you guys cannot check Baidu Cloud Storage(as I had asked my friends in the U.S. and they did told me they could! While by now I've known that it was because they already had BD account...). So I uploaded it to MEGA and I think it may be safer, actually I cannot even open zippy successfully every time! F word to China firewall and I don't think this blog will be able to last long...But you guys can download some re-up shit before I was totally banned.

MC Lida - I Am 听不懂

I remember it was 2010 and I was hanging around Xujiahui back then, and I noticed this guy, robust and swag, rapping his lingo and spit "听不懂"(Chinese, means "I don't understand") at times. People were really attracted by this guy and gradually tended to buy this album. In essence, this is not an album or mixtape, it's a compilation of his past works with a new track called "I Am 听不懂", articulating his funny experience when he ,in China, attempted to talk to those who actually don't speak English at all. 

In his own words, he came for his love of China and the far east "mystical" language. MC Lida is an Italian-American, born in Senegal. He, to my surprise, seems to be a linguist since that he can speak Italian, English, African and now you know, Chinese as well. 

I'm not sure whter this one is called "I Am 听不懂" or "我知道上海"（I Know Shanghai）.But it doesn't matter! Peace to international rappers like MC Lida. The lyrical bard brought me a unique excursion to African Hip Hop and I bet you will enjoy it.

Abigail Washburn & The Shanghai Restoration Project - Afterquake 震后

                                  Hope & Revival

It's not a pure rap/hip hop album and you can consider it as a fushion of hip hop, country and electronia,and might call it abstract hip-hop or something...whatever. Afterquake was a record after Wenchuan Eartghquake in 2008, it is produced by country muscian Abigail Washburn from the U.S. and Dave Laing from Shanghai Restoration Project. Both producers utlized spatula to level the surface of this mixture and stirred their styles collectively. Throughtout the album, Sichuan dialect that you may take it for some peculiar lingo and Children's innocent chanting impart a sense of tranquility to the afterquake country.Consisting 7 tracks, Afterquake is not a commercial harangue with senseless braggadocio, it's allure stems from  people's solidarity and affection when facing the sorrowful natural disaster. All in all, Afterquake is worth listening.
