T.i.M.E - THE TIME IS NOW

February 20, 2012

Producer Theimagination and MC E Reece have joined forces to present their debut EPThe T.iM.E is Now set to release on October 11, 2011 on Elevated Mental Recordings/Culture Digital Music. Both members of the newly formed duo T.iM.E are forces to be reckoned with, each with a long list of accomplishments and paid dues under their belts as soloists.

Having previously collaborated on several of E Reece’s projects (Next Up EP, A New BreedLP, L.I.S.n 2 This Live.In.Studio. LP, Concrete Steppin LP and more), the duo’s chemistry is firmly set in place. With the The T.iM.E is Now EP in their sights, E Reece and T.iM are set to bring their formula of experimental sounds and hard-hitting lyricism to their combined fan bases, while creating a new following thirsty for progressive sounds and thoughtful rhyming. For T.iM.E the alliance has been forged in stone, the bar has been set high by both of them and the time for change begins now.

I give this album a 7 out of 10............good album overall

Which means it works-- if this album is a cinematic experience, the score here fills in the cues for moods that the MCs mostly just suggest. The dr...
