Charge is the Second Full Length Album from Melbourne Mc Eloquor. Second? It’s easy too miss good artists these days. But in this case, Eloquor admittedly wouldn’t be surprised if you missed his first with his first album being a low budget production that he mostly put together himself.

Charge is anything but with production, beats and features from well known Australian Hip Hop celebrities including M-phazes, Jase, Slap618, Doc Felix and Lauren Gillard to name a few.

Now under the guidance of Frank Mincone aka Slap618 as his manager (Myspherical Entertainment & Obese Records) Charge is an album with a message. To me this me this message was move forward, don’t have regrets, constantly push what you think is possible and take control of your own destiny. I know that’s quite a few messages all rolled into one, but when you listen to this album I think you will agree.

Charge is the feature track for this Album and where the Album takes it’s name. This isn’t really a criticism but for an album with notable guests I found it odd that Charge’s chorus didn’t come with a bit more punch. I mean, this would have been a perfect opportunity to get a cunts in a room and scream this hook (CHARGE) into the mic. Maybe it’s just me or maybe because it’s part of the albums flow and the self introspective message that this album carries throughout it’s entirety and something he wanted to do himself.

Keep on ft Lauren Gillard is a inspirational track, which for me really set’s the pace of this album. The video clip features what appears to be a broken family and a man struggling to come to terms with what never was or what never eventuated. You need to check it and make your own mind up.

A song I can relate my own experience of becoming a father Daddy’s Girl ft Cisco Tavares is probably my favourite track on the album. Eloquor drops his experience with the birth of his daughter like it happened yesterday. Something all first time Dads can probably relate to. I’d never heard of Cisco Tavares and on the first few listens I thought it was a sample, it wasn’t until I picked up the press release and did some Google searches that I found he is a local R’nB artist. (well he lives in Australia now, so by Aussie by laws #1321321 * anyone who’s been here more than a year we can claim as our own) I will definitely be checking more of his stuff in the future.

The last track on the LP Like The Clouds also ft Lauren Gillard but more interestingly samples from his Grandmother who this album was also dedicated to. The translated Hungarian vocal sample translates to “On earth we are merely guests, time here is short, the whole thing is like a soaring cloud”. After hearing this track, it becomes obviously apparent where Eloquor has found a lot of his inspiration and guidance throughout the years and what made him the person that he is. In my opinion, Eloquor seems extremely grounded and happy with the person he sees in the mirror every day. Something we should all strive for.

There’s a bunch of other dope tracks on this album that I didn’t cover. You really need to give ‘Charge’ several listens before it WILL become one of your favourite releases of 2010. ‘Charge’ by MC Eloquor is available now where all good Hip Hop is sold and distro is through Obese Records.

Hip Hop icon Lil Kim has postponed the Australian leg of her tour due to visa problems. She was set to perform at The Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney on July 9, and in Melbourne on July 10, at the Esplanade Hotel. The dates will be re-scheduled for approximately two months from now.

Kim stated; “I love all the fans in Australia and I’m excited to be making my first trip down there to perform. I’m disappointed about my visit being delayed but I promise that the wait will be worth it.”

Updated. New gig date will be September 16. Apparently the Visa issues related to her Criminal Record. Alternatives were apparently offered by Customs i.e. loopholes. However Lil Kim wanted to everything to be done by the book…maybe she just likes flying first class

Just Kidding, I actually think this is pretty awesome.

Soul Mate Records home to 360 and Pez and by have signed a licensing deal With EMI AUS. This is a pretty big step for Australian Hip Hop with local produce having been shunned by the majors for years. Sure there have been other signings but generally they weren’t let’s say “scene established”. A licensing deal generally means the record label gets a set fee in exchange for manufacturing, promoting and distribution. It can also mean if there’s a bucket load of album sale that they get a major chunk of the spin, if not all of it. It is no secret that Majors and even Independents have cottoned on to the increase in touring value as well. But it works both ways, will they have more festivals to play their festivals songs at? Will there music actually improve cause they can concentrate on it without worrying about how they are going to pay rent next week?
I think so and with 360’s new album Falling and Flying due later this year, it will be pretty interesting to see if that’s actually true.

You can check a couple of tracks from 360’s upcoming records here http://www.myspace.com/emcee360 – Oh Yeah, Licensing deals often differ greatly. So that’s just a general guide for those that aren’t aware. SoulMate could be something totally different. they might answer your questions here soulmaterecords.wordpress.com

Hau from Koolism and Triple J’s Hip Hop Show has done his own take on Brad Strut’s “Belive”. We posted that a few months ago. He obviously loves the track as much as us.
