			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>A-Diction</em> &#8211; <em>Walkin&#8217; Alone</em> is the sophomore release from <em>Breach</em> &amp; <em>Boltz</em>, coming in at 15 tracks.  In my opinion you can expect an album that has a little bit of something for everybody.  If you&#8217;re interested, <em><a href="http://www.rhythmandpoetry.net/itunes/A-diction-Walkin_Alone_%28Album%29" title="Buy A-Diction - Walkin&#039; Alone from iTunes Now!">Walkin' Alone is available on iTunes now</a></em>.</p>

<div class="description"><em>Breach</em> &amp; <em>Boltz</em> first released under <em><a title="A-Diction @ MySpace" href="http://www.myspace.com/adictionmusic">A-Diction</a></em> back in 2005 with their debut EP, <em>To Be Announced</em>. In what i&#8217;ve calculated as 2006 they started working on this album, <em>Walkin&#8217; Alone</em>.  Back then it probably had an obscure working title; now the title is settled upon and thrown up in big letters on the front of the CD cover, which features some excellent artwork by R. Lyons.</p>
<div id="attachment_1875" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 442px"><a href="http://www.rhythmandpoetry.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/A-DICTION_WA_booklet1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1872]" title="A-Diction - Walkin&#39; Alone"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1875" title="A-Diction - Walkin' Alone" src="http://www.rhythmandpoetry.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/A-DICTION_WA_booklet1-432x431.jpg" alt="A-Diction - Walkin' Alone" width="432" height="431" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A-Diction - Walkin&#39; Alone</p></div>
<p>During all of that, <em>Boltz</em> managed to squeeze out a solo album titled <em>The Wishlist</em>, which was nothing to be sneezed at. A few &#8216;mixtapes&#8217; (<em>The Three Year Itch</em> and <em>In Good Company</em>) were also had along the way, but the gold of the duos crop was being put aside and it features here on Walkin&#8217; Alone.</p>
<p>I like to read album notes, do you?  They&#8217;re always a fun affair, so to quote the album notes &#8220;yes, it&#8217;s too bright but the bottom of the snare sounds ok!&#8221;.   To explain in more detail, listening through the album at around track 4 I started thinking quite a few tracks were just a little too sharp or bright, by track 6 I was reading the album notes and read that quote; I couldn&#8217;t have agreed more.</p>
<p>The intro to the CD I&#8217;d personally have not bothered with.  It&#8217;s a beat by <em>Whisper</em> and I get the feeling it was a weaker beat that was either thrown together quickly or picked up from the trash pile of &#8220;not sure what to do with&#8221;.  It basically consisted of what I describe as flat singing on a beat that didn&#8217;t suit anyone on it.</p>
<p>After the 3 minutes and 5 seconds of dissapointment the Intro brought my life, I was invited to take a walk.  <em>Walkin&#8217; Alone</em> is a beat by <em>Lewis One,</em> featuring <em>Juice</em> of <em>Battlehoggs</em> on the cuts.  A hot beat, diced with raps about raps that all just works.  With the chorus constantly hitting the line &#8220;lets take a walk&#8221; it really feels like this should&#8217;ve been the intro, inviting us into their world.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of listenable stuff for a while, but it&#8217;s all just raps about raps. <em>M-Phazes</em> comes in on <em>One Fact</em> with <em>Doc Felix</em> for cuts and it&#8217;s a nice beat, but the content on the lyrics doesn&#8217;t win gold stars. It&#8217;s not until about <em>Wingman</em> that we start to see actual content in the lyrics of the tracks.  Unfortunately the overly bright vocals in <em>Wingman</em> kind of ruined it.</p>
<p>The lads (or their promo piece of paper) have gone and recommended Drop The Beat (Remix) as a radio player.  The track features <em>G-Force</em> and <em>Vida Sunshyne</em> and I can see why it&#8217;s been recommended, it&#8217;s just a nice simple track, cleanly presented with a chick-hook; suck it up radio!</p>
<p>We really start to hear more content now, with the lyrics of <em>What We Do</em> presenting the life of the MC, I guess as these guys see it.  A very enjoyable track, that you should definitely listen too with a tongue in your cheek.  However I&#8217;d possibly have presented the next track <em>Ladies and Gentlemen</em> (basically a track about having a sense of humour) before it just for the context it could give to these lyrics.</p>
<p>The posse cut of the album, <em>Capital Vices</em> comes care of <em>M-Phazes</em>, with cuts from <em>Mathmatics</em>.  It features <em>Fraksha</em>, <em>Billy Bunks</em>, <em>Scott Burns</em>, <em>Whisper</em> and <em>Raven</em>. Loosely themed by it&#8217;s titled, each MC presents bars on vices.  It&#8217;s possibly a bit too slow, as only a few MCs actually sounded good on it.  Following up from this posse cut, the tail end of the album gets pretty meaningful, with <em>Just You</em>, <em>Unbalanced</em>, <em>Lost For Words</em> &amp; <em>Hold On</em> coming together to tie up the album nicely.</p>
<p>Should you buy this? sure.  Will you like it? more than likely! <em>Walkin&#8217; Alone</em> has a track or two for everybody, it&#8217;s not all meaningful and it&#8217;s not all bravado; It&#8217;s a little from column a and a little from column b.  If you enjoy listening on good headphones the bright mix is going to annoy you, but it&#8217;s fair to say most people probably aren&#8217;t even going to notice.</p>

<p class="myrating">Rolling on <span class="rating">3.5</span> stars, let down by the lack of consistency in the overall mix.  Brought to you by: Two, Five, Six and Thirteen.. recommended by the paper.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>A-DICTION</strong><br />
<em>Walkin&#8217; Alone</em><br />
<strong>Available:</strong> August 6th<br />
<strong>Distributed by:</strong> Obese Records</p>
<p>The name <strong>A-Diction</strong> says it all; wordplay, cleverness, and an overall obsession with the previous two points.</p>
<p>Born and raised in Melbourne, the duo consists of MCs Breach and Boltz. Breach, the precise wordsmith with focussed flow and witty punchlines, and Boltz, the crooner known for his explosive debut album ‘The Wishlist’, which featured international heavyweight Royce da 5’9” and local producer extraordinaire M-Phazes.</p>
<p>Yet, having released a number of well received works (2005’s ‘To be Announced’ EP; last year’s ‘The Three Year Itch’ mixtape and more recently the ‘In Good Company’ mixtape), the group have never released a full length LP; until now.</p>
<p>Their debut album, ‘Walkin’ Alone’, was painstakingly crafted from the rough and tumble reality of Melbourne life, and is best summarised by the events that led up to its release; it is an album that is bipolar in its thinking, a colourful swatch book of memories and observations that flitters between the lows of poverty and despair, and the highs of friendship and hilarity.</p>
<p>Years in the making, the LP has left no stone unturned when it comes to actively seeking musical collaborators; A-Diction have spared no expense in working with the likes of M-Phazes (Drapht, Bliss N Eso), Jase (Phrase, Daniel Merriweather, Pegz), Whisper (Equills), Lewis One (Twice As Nice) Mules (Hyjak N Torcha, Choose Mics) and enlisted the vocal talents of Vida Sunshyne and Bekah.</p>
<p>Behind the mic they are joined by a broad spectrum of respected and up and coming MC’s with Haunts and G-Force making memorable contributions; in addition Scott Burns, Billy Bunks, Whisper, Raven and Fraksha join A-Diction on a posse cut that is sure to be an instant underground classic. Meanwhile Doc Felix, DJ Mathmatics and DJ Juice provide some world class cutting on the album.</p>
<p>Available nation wide through Obese Records Distribution on August 6th 2010, the album, 4 years in production, reinforces the adage that good things come to those who wait, and clearly demonstrates the power of quality over quantity.</p>
<p>Backed with some impressive artwork by renowned illustrator R. Lyons, ‘Walkin’ Alone’ is a definitive all in one package; a fitting debut for artists with ten times the commercial success, let alone two poetic Melbourne partners in rhyme.</p></blockquote>

<p>If you haven&#8217;t had a chance to get a hold of this album, wake up! You&#8217;re missing out on quite possibly the finest rap CD to come out of Melbourne in quite some time.  It&#8217;s full of great beats and even if some sound do familiar, Maundz is always kicking some excellent rhyme patterns.  You can <a href="http://www.rhythmandpoetry.net/itunes/Maundz-Mr_Nobody_%28Album%29" title="Buy Maundz - Mr Nobody on iTunes Now!">grab Maundz - Mr Nobody now on iTunes</a> or get it from your local CD jerk.</p>
