Memphis Bleek - Still Ill
- Artist: Memphis Bleek
- Track: Still Ill
- Producer: Canei Finch [for CaneiLive Productions]
- Album: The Process
Last we heard from Memphis Bleek was way back in summer '08, but don't think for a minute that his on-the-mic skills have dulled during his time away from our front page. Now signed to his own indie label Get Low, the Roc-A-Fella alumnus is back to prove that he's Still Ill with the lead single off his endlessly-delayed fifth studio album. From bar one, this joint bleeds energy – producer Canei Finch [for CaneiLive Productions] serves up a blisteringly fresh breakbeat-synth-harpsichord instrumental, and Bleek comes with rhymes to match. Though the emcee's breezy bars are straightforward as far as lyrical message is concerned – Bleek's back, he's still getting money, and if he gets angry he might shoot you – his propulsive flows will leave few unimpressed. Memphis' enthusiasm can't be denied, but will his 2010 comeback be the real deal? We report, you decide. If you agree with this this record's title, you'll want to mark your calendar for the March 23 release of The Process, the rapper's first full-length since '05's 534 (and the first of his career not to be released under Roc-a-Fella/Def Jam).
