Info on Paris - Sonic Jihad
« on: July 29, 2003, 09:46:38 PM »
got this in my e-mail

The Return Of Truth In Hip-Hop! GuerrillaFunk.com

Peace and thanks to all supporters who have written in!

SONIC JIHAD, the long-awaited album by Paris, will be released worldwide
on September 23rd in both retail stores and online at www.guerrillafunk.com.
The webstore release has been delayed as a result of recent developments
which lead to the securing of worldwide distribution capabilities through
traditional channels for Guerrilla Funk.

About Sonic Jihad
After a mild hiatus Paris returns with his most pointedly-focused and brutal
condemnation of the ills of society to date. Waging righteous warfare (hence
the title) on all that he perceives as being wrong with world in this current
political climate of manufactured fear and "War on Terror," he covers such
issues as the New World Order, the manmade origins of AIDS, military lies
and propaganda, police brutality and the embarrassing state that hip hop is
currently in. The first single, "What Would You Do?” has already been a
lightning-rod for controversy in the United States, garnering coverage from
such notable sources as MTV2, The New York Times and MSNBC for it’s
suggestion that the Bush Administration played a key role in orchestrating
the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. And it doesn’t stop there -- the
album also features input from progressive hip-hop visionaries Dead Prez,
Public Enemy and Kam. Add dancehall sensation Capelton to this already
impressive mix and you have a potent molotov cocktail of an album ready to
explode.

As one of the few remaining artists who can be relied upon to remain
consistent with both his content and his dedication to musical quality, Paris'
latest effort will please not only his existing loyal supporters, but should
prove to gain him many new listeners as well.  Be sure to check in often, as
we’ll be releasing additional mp3s of new material soon.

What we need now is for supporters to let buyers at stores in their area know
that there is demand for Sonic Jihad!  Let your local djs and radio stations
know that you support real hip-hop and demand more from your entertainment!

*******

The press campaign begins the week of August 4th.  Promotional products
for the album and single will go out nationwide the week of August 11th.  
Press inquiries and interview requests should be directed to Nicole Balin at
nikyb@adelphia.net.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Yeah! Nice to wake up and read such good news. ;D
Need to get my money together because I'll probably buy some shit from Guerrilla Funk Gear too. The album will be dope as fuck - you actually can't go wrong with acts like Dead Prez, KAM or Public Enemy. Hopefully, Paris handles most of the production again and the record will have this "Sleeping With The Enemy 2003" feeling like P-Dog announced in a interview.

True. But Paris wasn't happy with it either. The new version of "Unleashed" (it's now an EP) has a lot less tracks because he used the album to introduce Jet & Nuttso back in the day which wasn't a very good idea (Paris doesn't match with traditional gangsta rappers). My favorite tracks on "Unleashed" are "Record Label Murder", "Fair Weather Friendz", "Heat", "Street Soldier" and "44 Wayz". I'd give the album a "3.5/5" rating.

yeah i'd agree with that rating, i like those tracks and also Root Of All Evil & Conversation. Nuttso & Jet are wack as fuck IMO
