I won't be able to say it enough: Even if you never liked anything from these dudes, you will like Cape Verde.
They have officially transcended the weirdness that endears them, solely, to Trotter and myself. The production on this album is high quality (probably their biggest problem previously). I can't really tell if these super soul beats are a new direction, or what they've been trying to do all along.
That said, they still have that little something in the lyrics and delivery that seperates them from the pack. I know we all can appreciate that at some level.
Really, trust me. It can't hurt to DL. Search for the group (Super Chron Flight Bros) and album + 'mediafire'. The link will come right up. Physical copy drops July 27, they will get my $ then, no doubt.
This is fast set to become my favorite shit in awhile.

I always really liked SCFB, even their low-budget sounding beats. I'll definitely check this out.

This is as good as anything else I've heard this year. And its the most original album I've heard in years, as far as hip-hop goes.

I'll download it tomorrow then, should be interesting at the very least. I've never really taken the time to check these guys out even though they have been rec'd on here frequently, and even more back in the day on Amazon

This was nothing special to me. I peeped it, and no song really stands out, the beats don't really move me in any particular way, and the lyrics aren't bad but they definitely don't hold my interest. Again, I'm not saying this is a "wack" album, but it's just definitely not IT for me. Which is weird, because I usually dig stuff like this and a few songs that Trotter and Ex have shown me by these guys were dope.

Listening on the way home from work this morning. How can you not like this album? Track 5? Track 11? 13? 14?
There're a couple skips, no doubt. But this is an outstanding album from far left field.

A SCFB thread started by someone other than me. Well Ive liked everything the camp droppedso far. Ive state Privilege is one of the dopest lyricist in the game now. And with my favorite eemcess on a hiatus as of late--SuperChron is my fav group now. You gotta respct their grind. CV is destined to be AOTY.

Wow man this was a great rec. I've only listened to it once, but I'd give it 4.5 stars. I might be too much of a Big Boi stan to give it AOTY, but it's definitely in the top 3 albums I've heard this year. I'm definitely going to check out Emergency Powers now.

I spun it again the other day. The production is pretty spectacular on the whole thing... real good production... but i haven't had time to give it like a spin with no distractions... so some of the denser lyricism remains unexplored.

Someone threw a bunch of these tracks up on youtube, but thet're all slowed a bit, or just modified lower-toned. I don't know much about that sort of thing, but the tracks are pretty dope either way.

The usual suspects wont feel this. Anywhoo, this album has up the ante. There won't be another album like this in five years. 5 years ago Megalon the undisputed APFYT now we get this in 2010. Daam, Imma haveta wait until 2015 for anything to rival this.

Ahhhhh. Im banging this for the umpteenth time. I remember back in the days when you really banged albums. Back before the internet when rap albums were few in selection and your funds were few and far between. You banged a album continuous with no other musical distractions. Like when I copped ONYX Bacdafucup--I didn't listen to anything else in like 2 weeks. Now Im addicted to this album. I wanna spend more time with MFGrimm's new joint and check out other '10 releases but I can't

1st things first....B More>>>>>>
I'm feelin' this album. I don't think anyone with limitations will dig it (they may even say heads around here are overrating it...again), but I got it at 4 stars after one spin. This was good enough to make me revisit their debut. I remember hating it, but maybe my tastes have changed some since then...

Yo, I really don't see how someone wouldn't like this. I'm in the middle of my first listen and I'm already seeing the hype. I actually found and listened to Indonesia before I was able to find CV and I liked that as well. I have been experimenting with some dubstep samples so it was a little extra intriguing to me. CV is sounding like it could def join the convo for AOTY.

I'll have to check that Burial out, thanks.
And about Cape Verde...on my first listen I was def diggin it and I can see why a few of you guys were hyping it. I can even see why some would consider it AOTY worthy. However, after a few more spins, I have decided to give it a 3.75 rating...4.0 if I happen to be in the right mood. I think it's a cool, creative album with some interesting beats but it has no replay value for me. Nothing on there makes me wanna keep bumpin the album over and over, which has been the case this year with Nas/Damian, The Roots, Curren$y, Big KRIT, and Big Boi, which to me, are the contenders so far for AOTY. Overall a very good album that I will def come back to for fresh air when things get monotonous.
