evolving format: the beginning ep (evolving media ent.)

in the same intricate style as a few of chi-town's hip-hop finest comes the meaningful sounds and lyrics of new york city's own sammy be. his evolving format: the beginning ep gives the listener a glimpse, 7 tracks to be exact, into his past and prepares the streets for the future sounds of hip-hop. with production assistance from j karz, d mass as well as the self produced "road map: road 2 success," sammy be flips his flows over some well produced cuts.
stand out tracks on evolving format include the intro entitled "stay tuned" and "tuned in.'' both find sammy be rhyming over an eerie j karz beat reminiscent of mr. west's skills behind the boards. although there is a feeling of disconnect between sammy be and the production on the track "grievances," he is back in his element on the insightful "making cents, while it makes sense" and "meaning of life." evolving format preps you in anticipation for his full-length lp and is definitely a breath of fresh air for nyc and hip¬hop as a whole. matthew lohr
