notes

The groundbreaking new artist Sadistik is quickly raising eyebrows with his debut solo album "The Balancing Act." At only 22 years old he has developed a sound that is truly unique as he seamlessly blends his signature of deeply poetic lyrics with brooding, symphonic soundscapes filled with beauteous live instrumentation. In addition to his own innovative rhyming style, Sadistik collaborated with the likes of underground hip-hop icons Mac Lethal of Rhymesayers Entertainment and Vast Aire from the highly regarded duo of Cannibal Ox. Sadistik can be found doing shows around his home state of Washington performing his shockingly energetic live shows. While he writes all of his own music, his biggest inspirations range the musical spectrum from Sage Francis all the way to Radiohead. And although traces of these influences can be found in Sadistik's music, one thing is for certain: he has created a sound that is truly his own.

    I got my copy in the mail a few days ago...I may have to order a new one soon. Can the laser wear a CD out? Regardless, I burnt myself a copy for the car in case it gets messed up. This is one of the best hip-hop albums I've ever heard in my entire life, and that's no exaggeration. I'm a bit of a connoisseur of hip-hop, and I'm quite picky. There is not a single track - a single MOMENT - of this album I don't absolutely love. It's very difficult for me to pick a favorite, but it's a tie between two tracks for me. Pick #1 would be The Exception to Everything, while Pick #2 is Absolution. Emancipator, Kid Called Computer, and the other producers did amazing jobs on these beats, but the real artistry comes from Sadistik himself. His unique flow connects the sometimes irregular, off beats in such a manner that it seems almost effortless. The video on his MySpace also shows that he's not only skilled with a pen and pad, but also off the top of the head. His rhymes about life, love, relationships, and hard times seem almost to be like an audible journal of personal experiences, all the while not weighing you down with a bunch of sappy crap. Sadistik's not alone on this album. Vast Aire throws down on the track "Writes of Passage", another brilliant song. Another personal favorite of mine is "Ashes to Ashley", a beautiful piece featuring the one and only Mac Lethal of Black Clover Records/Rhymesayers Entertainment. If there was ever an album that you absolutely MUST buy on cdbaby, this is it. Don't sleep on this - stop stalling! BUY IT NOW!!!
