Canibus "Hip-Hop For Sale" (Vinyl 2XLP)

  Artist: Canibus Release Date: 11/22/2005 Label: Babygrande Records Producers: Black Milk, J-Starr & Tick, Jayswiftz, Nottz Featuring: Awon, DMP, Hamza, Ike Infa Diamond, Juli Ecaro, Star Other Formats: Audio CD, iTunes   As well known for his contentious battle raps as he is for his raw, angry delivery, Canibus stayed true to form on his 2005 release Hip-Hop for Sale. Actually, there are fewer overt attempts to take down other artists here, but Canibus' visceral attack on the mic is as heavy as ever, and the tracks -- produced by Nottz -- match the rapper's style with their muscular, midtempo stomp. This is a solid, hard-hitting effort that should please fans of East Coast hardcore rap.
