Synopsis

Album Description

Ten years after the release of their seminal debut, six years since their last LP, Themselves return in 2009 with not one, but two full-length albums. The first is the FREE Houdini: one part aggressive Rap mixtape, one part posse reunion record that wrangles all seven original members of the Anticon collective and several distinguished guests to reaffirm the crew's place in Hip Hop history. Herein is the finest prose from today's most venerable wordsmiths, slung over a perpetually shifting landscape of hard beats and texture. Providing the meat and motivation, of course, are Themselves Doseone and Jel who've realized this feat as a single, gratis long-playing track. A truly free-for-all celebration of just how good Rap can be, theFREEhoudini was mixed by Odd Nosdam.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Seriously, this is the reason I love hip hop. Underground artists like this continue to flourish with new sounding material. Part mix tape, part distribution prospect, nothing short of a Brilliant return for Anticon's 'themselves'. Lyrically, Dos and Jel kill it while cutthroat break beats synthetically spill over electronica music. And with Amazing guests like Def Jux elite Aesop Rock, who's style fuses perfectly with the music here, and Anticon's very own Sole and Sage Francis; any hip hop fan will want to cop this!

Free version is in mixtape form with all songs under one track. On the retail version you get bonus tracks which are all sick, plus the songs are released on seperate tracks. Available for under $9 including shipping at Anticon's online shop. This is your best value for 20 songs, and you pay the artist directly!"
