When reviewing music I look deeper than today's standards, I look for that "it" factor. I look for something that suggest to me that an artist is worth the support of the public. Something that tells me supporting their music would do some justice in the world of hip hop. I also look for potential, talent, and sheer understanding of what music is supposed to sound like.

Today we are looking at the "Tony Thrax - South Lands EP" on bandcap.com. For all of the music lovers out there this is still worth a listen. Just to give a fellow independent artist a shot there are some that will tune in. However, for those who are looking to spend money on new music for their enjoyment, this EP would be a total bust.

The production is far off from being classic material, the engineering is a complete mess, and the layout of the individual tracks is a catastrophe. Some of the songs go a full minute before you actually get to hear someone rap, and after waiting that long the lyrics are not a treat that's worth the patience. Lets not mention the fact that the EP is repetitive and dry with no excitement what so ever. Had I been a regular listener the CD would have been ejected by the second song.

The good thing here is that the artist is not completely hopeless. He does have some lyrical talent and had it not been for the horrible production and engineering around his bars mixed with the outdated screwed up concept he would actually have a chance to win over the crowd. My advice for Tony Thrax is to get rid of the producer and tell your engineer to record your vocals a bit better. Also never drop a project without mastering it ever again, its not everyone that can do that.

Overall, this is not the worst sounding music I have ever heard in my life. Not to speak for every single person in the world but to speak for myself I would say this. Had I been approached by Tony Thrax in the streets to purchase this EP, for the sole purpose of supporting a young up and comer I would, but the music itself would have nothing to do with the purchase.
