A.R.M. | Blame My Ego
June 20th, 2009
I got some international flavor for you today. A.R.M. (African Rebel Movement), which consists of Ghanaian emcee M.anifest , Ugandan emcee Krukid and American beatmaker Budo dropped a little teaser of what to expect from their upcoming album.
Krukid has been gaining some attention in the underground scene with his placing in the RAWKUS 50 in 2007. M.anifest residing in the Rhymesayers backyard of Minneapolis has been described as “smart as Talib Kweli and funky as Kanye West” and I agree. He is nice with his! Seattle based producer Budo has sound that I would describe as mainstream with a touch of 80’s RnB and California underground Hip Hop.
The track “Blame my Ego” is produced not by Budo but in fact 16 year old producer G mo. It contains a mixture of a commercial sound with hint of late 70’s pop rock. Personally I’m not exactly loving the beat but M.anifest & Krukid’s flow make an otherwise ho-hum song worthwhile.
I don’t about you but this is one group I’m looking forward to see what they bring to table this year.

No doubt Krukid & M.anifest are pretty strong emcees.

[…] I would say M. anifest is not at the level of his musical partner Krukid (A.R.M.). However he is way more talented than the average […]
