Sup, fam? What's good? I've been busy with school so I really haven't had time to post, but I thought I'd try and keep this good week of posts going.

I did a search and I'm a little surprised to find that neither of these albums have been posted. Both are solid albums; "The Litmus Test" is a collection of instrumentals that Cut Chemist has done for groups, including Jurassic 5, Ugly Duckling, Blackalicious, and Hiroshi Fujiwara & KUDO. This for me is a big deal because not only are these instrumentals from my favorite groups, but these are also instrumentals from some of my favorite albums. It's a mix and is only like 28 minutes, but it's still worth it. Cut Chemist to me is largely underrated, but we'll discuss that in a minute...

"Live at the Futureprimitive Soundsession" is Cut Chemist and Shortkut improvising on 6 turntables. This shows the range of Cut Chemist's skills. He's like a freestyle turntablist; of course, Shortkut doesn't hurt this mix at all, because he's one of the best scratch DJs in my opinion. In no way does either outshine the other; Cut Chemist and Shortkut share the stage equally. You've probably heard of Shortkut from his work with the Beat Junkies, or less likely, the Invisbl Skratch Piklz, one of the most underrated scratch groups of all time.

"The Audience's Listening" is an amazing album. It's a bit fleeting though because despite it's prowess it really hasn't caught that much fire. The reviews for it were excellent, but I still see 20 requests for "Monkey Barz" for every request I see for "The Audience's Listening". But still, this was probably the best album of 2006 for me. Cut Chemist does his best work on here, cutting each record to pieces. It was this very record that got me into scratching, and honestly, I have yet to hear a better scratch record than this one. Cut Chemist was always considered a superproducer, but I think that it was this record that really showed everyone how shaped he is. This record shows him as multi-faceted; not only can he produce, but holy fuck, he can scratch too! Download this album if you haven't heard it; if you already have this album, give it another listen for me. One.
