No man, not yet, right now my main souce of internet is here at work. Most stuff is blocked, but not the forum!! However, I should have a home connection back up and running in a couple of weeks. Can't wait either, I've got a laundry list of music to check out. The Cats on here all listen to some good stuff.

I think Moka's done about 3 albums as "Ron Contour" his wild alter ego.
I know for some though, his stuff is hit and miss, but I still can't help but like it.
I'll go check out The Loyalists, I'm not familiar with them at all.

I quite like that song he did as Ron Contour... told you so i think it's called. Bit of an anthem with me and my mates.

Had another listen, not really impressed with Vermilion.
It's got a couple of really dope tracks, that stick with you.
But the dude's alright, now check out more of Lowdown Suite, already know a couple of tracks off of that one.
No point in creating a new topic, so here goes.
Anyone heard of The Loyalists?
They're 3 guys from Burlington, Vermont, currently residing in San Francisco
Consisting of:
Framework (MC)
E-Train (Producer/DJ)
Touchphonics (Producer/DJ, left the group, but still frequently collaborates)
They brought out 3 albums so far:
Moodswing (2004)
Get What You Give (2005)
Redemption (2008, some reasonable success, critically acclaimed)
Just getting the word out on these guys, they could really use some exposure as well.
A really skillful MC flowing over beats by a very talented producer.
Here's Loyal Theory, an absolute f***ing banger -like pretty much all of their sh!t- hands down, among the best Hip-Hop tracks from the last decade.

They also have a video out for Gasoline (Redemption)

I strongly (emphasize strongly) suggest checking out all 3 albums, though.
Most of their songs are all on youtube, they also regularly drop some new sh!t on their myspace (hopefully a fourth album is coming)

It's a beautiful thing, Hip-Hop.

Ah well, I don't think I'm in the position to judge.
I got a copy of Vermilion here, and it's quite enjoyable
Although I did listen to some of his other stuff, I haven't listened nearly enough to judge whether Vermilion is his best or not.
Might check out some more of his sh!t, with this thread.

I gotta say that Lowdown suite is prolly my fav, but it's one of the first solo albums of his i heard, so that may influence me a bit.

Haha, cool.
Moka is dope.
Got Vermilion right here, prolly his best, in my humble opinion.
Some dope tracks on that one, Search, God Bless etc.

has anybody every checked out Moka Only?
He's been one of my favorites since way back. He used to be tied up with Swollen Members in Canada.
He releases a ton of stuff so it's hard to keep up with it all. Anyway, just wondering if anybody else has been exposed to his stuff and what their thought are.
