Album Notes

This is pure corn-fed discontent. Former Iowa resident Arecee releases his second record, "Beating a Dead Horse", under NYC's Collekt Records in Brooklyn, New York. His dark melodic beats and thick delivery are a refreshing alternative to today's bubblegum thug rap and purist hip-hop. On the track titled 'Breathe Deep' we hear a glimpse of a tragic past romance gone sour while the up-beat 'Round and Round' features hip-hop heavyweight Supastition. In 'Life is Cartoons,' Arecee proclaims that "hip-hop is stupid"; after watching MTV, I couldn't agree more. Lush self produced beats and deeply personal lyrics make this release a breath of fresh air in today's copycat music industry. Arecee's first release, "Direction for Children" featuring Sage francis, is currently in stores.

REVIEWS

Nothing but Hip-Hop
author: david rivera
Great album for those who love urban modern hip hop with a humorous twist and sick beats. A definite must have for hip hop heads! Nothing but sick beats, clever rhymes and straight up old school style hip hop.

I recieved my copy today. I used to think Arecee was in the same league as Aesop and Slug, but after my third listen...I would say this record is uniquely in a class of its own. The music and melodies are fantastic. It's not something that you get up and dance to, a couple of tracks you could...its something you that you sit back, relax, then listen to the deep dark struggle of the artist. From abusive relationships, to his financial struggle, to his confidence and matter of factness with women..and then there are the confident bouts with alchohol...he raps deeply about his thoughts and struggles and beliefs that makes him who he is....you can really feel it. It has been a great day listening to this over and over and picking out more from it.
