A while ago I wrote this review of Grayskul and Maker's collaborative project, GRAYMAKER, which came out at the end of 2009 on Taxidermy Records.
Graymaker is the latest release from Seattle’s Grayskul: emcees JFK and Onry Ozzborne of Oldominion and Rhymesayers fame. This project finds them working with Maker, the Chicago-based producer behind the highly acclaimed group Glue.
Maker’s production here is like the soundtrack to a dark seventies crime film. Eerie horns wail over classic soul guitars. The synth is subtle and the drum samples are all very organic, which gives the whole album a classic sound. Jazz and funk elements mesh in spacious loops building an atmosphere of a street late at night.
