As the end of the year draws closer, I’m trying to catch up on what I missed at the beginning of it while on blogging haitus. One record I unfortunately overlooked was Lee Harvey Oswald member Conspiracy‘s solo effort, which dropped back in March. As the lyricists of popular rap have all pretty much become parodies of themselves, the DJ side of hip-hop seems to be flourishing lately, moving more experimental and psychedelic. And this album is some of the best of what I’ve been hearing in the cornucopia of great independent, instrumental hip-hop. Go pick it up for free:

Everyone seems to be digging the King Robot LP that I graced you readers with a couple weeks ago.  Due to popular demand, I have now been given a new treat by Lee Harvey Oswald to unleash on our readers.  It’s another taste of their Zone 7 crew which consists of producers Conspiracy, Mr. Fish, and  Threepeeoh, emcees Reid Richards, Verbal the Erfling, Vinnie Del Negro, and Glympse, and those nasty cuts by the infamous DJ Spytek.

This time it’s Lee Harvey Oswald’s own self-titled LP that I get to bring you and it features the whole crew showboating their talents!  I can promise you that this is only going to be up for a limited time so you better make sure you cop it while the getting is good!

And also, if you’re diggin’ their style of eclectic hip-hop make sure you go and check these guys out on April 10th as they headline a show with another group called the Deaf Judges at the 529 Bar down in the East ATL Village.

This album is absolutely fantastic but to truly understand the whole Lee Harvey Oswald experience you must go check these guys out live. You haven’t seen live local hip-hop in the ATL til you’ve seen a LHO show.

Here’s some of my favorites:

Lee Harvey Oswald : Government Chemicals (featuring Reid Richards)

Lee Harvey Oswald : Eagle Has Landed

Lee Harvey Oswald : Looking Glass Mirror (featuring Mighty Erfling)

And If You’re Diggin’ It, Here’s the .zip of the Whole Album!!!

Enjoy, and support local music!

King Robot are MC, Reid Richards and producer, Conspiracy. These guys have been doing their thing in the A for sometime and have finally dropped this project online for FREE.  Reid Richards owned Mic Club at the Apache Cafe, and Conspiracy currently does the beats for Lee Harvey Oswald.  They have had this album shelved for sometime and I can remember these guys making beats and recording this in the Dunwoody Mansion.  If you haven’t heard Reid Richards on the mic this is a great starting point and if you dig it, go check out some more of these guys when Lee Harvey Oswald takes the stage this Friday, at Lenny’s.
