This weeks "Tales From The TapeDecks" review is from RAP ATTACK's own Mary Nichols aka DJ Fusion from the Home of the Syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast & BlackRadioIsBack.com:

Today, we have a dope independent Hip-Hop talent representing South Carolina on the mixtape scene, Jim Snooka.

After debuting on Never So Deep Records's "Darko Effect" album, he's been constantly on the grind with various mixtapes and singles that have received recognition from all over the world from lots of blog and website love to top rated airplay on various college and internet radio stations.

With the "Who Killed Kenny? - FuseBox Radio Edition" mixtape, Jim Snooka shows a lot of diversity in the songs with his agressive rhymes and flow, along with something most Hip-Hop MCs don't seem to have lately anymore - a sense of humor (just the phone interludes along are crazy hilarious, much less the "South Park" TV series samples tying things together in the mix). 

There's also some high quality production in the mix given by producer and label head, DJ Bless.  The beats KNOCK hard and Jim Snooka does not get lost up in the sauce in the least.

This is a pretty dope project that should at the very least, serve as some distributor's and or A&R's cheat sheet of what to actually look for with a Hip-Hop MC - not just being able to talk about the street or brag about various escapades all day, but to be able to do it WELL in the profession that folks have chosen as a musician.

Favorite Tracks:
