Ok, so I'm excited about this week's Take It Or Sleaze It selection. This marks my first "local" release to be reviewed. We've been concentrating on releases from industry vets and popular newcomers. This week we bring it back to the 804 and concentrate on the scene we all know and love. And it's also great that I'm reviewing one of RVA's top lyricists (in my eyes). The man is Radio B, and the project is Whole Foods. I've had the pleasure of sharing stages with the spitter and he always holds it down for the real. He and his crew, Association of Great Minds (which includes one Nickelus F) all share the same passion and drive for creating music. It seems these guys never stop working, and I for one truly respect what they bring to the VA hip-hop landscape.
What's truly exciting about this project is the "Cypher" tracks, featuring all of Richmond's brightest rising stars. I don't even feel some type of way cause I wasn't involved. It's always great when guys (and girls) come together for positive action and I commend Radio Blitz for bridging the gap. I do feel bad for missing the Listening Party, however. Peep the video that chronicles the event.

As usual, listen in to Black Liquid's show Hip-Hop For The Rest Of Us on WRIR 97.3 FM, or stream the show from wrir.org and blackliq.com. Tune in Saturday night at 1 am to catch my views. But don't wait around for how I feel to form an opinion; drop off your thoughts in the comments!
