| Grey Matter consists of emcee Illustrate & producer Tempermental based out of Orlando, FL. I saw this duo back in 2007 when they opened for Soliloquists of Sound. I've never forgotten that set, and I've been keeping an eye open for them since. Illustrate is very gripping on the mic. I'd go as far as to say he was one of the dopest live rappers I've seen, cause he was so relaxed and natural...no yelling or stage theatrics. Truly the epitome of a concious emcee. Great lyrics, great stories, great philosphies. And his love for hip-hop is unquestionably deep. The beats by Tempermental are nice throughout and very fitting, if at times unspectacular. At 70 minutes in length, I can only complain about a couple of slow spots in the front half. Replay value has been stellar. There are a few cuts that I've been playing nonstop and will rank among some of 2010's best cuts IMO: "No Question" (my favorite), "Say Our Goodbyes" (stellar opener), and "Reflect" among others. I realize they are just a couple more unknowns in the bucket, but I'd highly recommend it to those who like the concious hip-hop. My Rating 4.5 stars  | |

Peace No problem. I'll start upping it now and will send you a PM later... And no Kev, I don't believe either one of them is white. I'm actually not too sure what race Temp is... | |

Right on. The Moe Pope is actually more your style I think. The beats are better. But I (obviously) dig both quite a bit... | |
