New Marc Mac (4hero)
Marc Mac (4hero) returns with another Mixtape Style album following on from ‘Extend The Knowledge” & “It’s Right To Be Civil”. Beats are intertwined with soundbites from the 1960′s Vietnam War protest era where African Americans were sent to fight in Vietnam during the Civil Rights period in the USA.
Mr. Glass Top 21+ of 2012
I like to wait to do my end of the year list until the end of the year. I don’t want to exclude any great albums just because it came out in December, or I just couldn’t get a hold of it until then. So here it is my favorite albums of the past year (I have also included a few extras free/ep/mixtape releases from the artists that put in work this past year)
