80s Babies: Support (Good) Chicago Music
I love the 80s. And babies are adorable. Maybe that's why I'm digging Chicago duo, 80s Babies, who recently released an album called "Sonic Music." Their sound is retro, with contemporary lyricism that will remind you of your favorite rapper's favorite rappers. Metaphors. Musicality. Lyricism. Yessir. Check their video out here, and then head over to this link to see if you want to download their entire collection. (Hint, I would.) - Kyra Kyles

The 80s Babies, made up vocals from Dee "The Shogun" Jackson and beats from the renowned Tall Black Guy, just dropped "Sonic Music" today! Check out this collaboration between Rookie Films, Lyon Tamer Productions on this the first of many music videos from the album. - NTheBackground

80s Babies (Tall Black Guy Productions & Dee “Shogun” Jackson) Have released yet another solid project, highly anticipated “Sonic Music” intelligent hip-hop aiming to set the bar higher for Chi-town emcees & producer collaborators. I must admit I had no idea what to expect when I pressed play, but lets just say that Im glad I did. - DJ Rahdu

“I Wanna Talk to You” track 9 off the “Sonic Music” release, was a taster of things to come, on spinning a few, no vinyl intended! Tall Black Guy aka Terrell Wallace as always does the soulfully qualified production – Justice, for a recap good people: the Eric Roberson remix of “Tale Of Two” and “Hollyweird” and the other brother Dee Jackson with the quality & clarity in flow words to rhyme with a few collaborations in the mix. This is a recommended listen and purchase I reckon for all who like good/progressive music (Sola Rosa anyone!) with conscious/social commentary. - www.onthebuzz.com

Ahhh yes some good ol boom-bap in this album coming from the Chi and well worth the price for purchase. With a soulful approach and socially conscious lyrics 80's Babies bring forth what I like to call ‘Feel Good Hip-Hop’ having some fun with it and it’s looking like a new favorite around here. Produced by Tall Black Guy, and emcee Dee Jackson on it, this whole album has a constant nod factor going for it. They both did a great job on it and you can definitely hear the work that was put in this album. With appearances by Chaka B, Crooked I, Knoc Turn’al, Pathfinders, Kazi the Blak, Allegra Dolores, IE, Jelify, Midflex, Sorce, Famsquadilliana, Savy, Iris, Yng Sin, 1773… this album is jam-packed with good Hip-Hop. Sonic Music sounds soo familiar yet is new, and as a music fan lets you appreciate Hip-Hop without the flash of all these other “rappers” out now. - When Giants Meet
