Dialek-Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome…

Category: Hip-Hop

dialek-post_traumatic_stress_syndrome-coverSo far I’ve posted either brand new albums or albums that were older but newly reissued. This is the first (probably of many to come) post that I’m highlighting an older album. This dude Dialek, from Minnesota, dropped this album in 2004, but as far as I know, not too many peeps know about this dude or this album. He’s a member of Purest Form as well.
Basically, this album is nice. It’s got both the conscious lyrics along with the requisite battle rap lyrics. The track “Alphabetics” is a good example of the latter. Dope beat, nice delivery, and lyrics to match. The only thing I wasn’t too stoked on in that track is the quest M.C. Sadly, homebwoy just doesn’t match the dopeness of the rest of the track. As for conscious lyrics, the track “Taken For Granted” is a doozey. It’s one of those tracks that delivers a message that I think we all need to hear, at least once inna while. From the hook: “..so when times get rough, remember it could be worse, and instead of complaining, count your blessings first.”
This album reminds me a bit of Last Emporer at times, but not in a ‘bitin’ type way. Just that there are tracks that are filled with real life observations that are approached and talked about with wit. …making you want to continue listening.
Basically, if you’re looking for something unique and cool, that you’re friends don’t have, get this.
