First Hellafied Flow Review
Indy Glory Magazine in Washington DC has provided the world with their personal view of Shystah Sinnah's Hellafied Flow. Check out the initial review.
Hellafied Flow, the debut release from the artist Shystah Sinnah, was released on October 31, 2009, on the independent label; Tru Grind Music Group, LLC. Taking his name from a past version of his childhood nickname (according to a statement on one of his online videos) the music of this East-Coast feel outfit is steeped deeply in the Hip-Hop based mainly from his bilingual talents. Despite the fact that artists like Tony Touch, Fat Joe, NORE, and Big Pun easily come to mind upon hearing him, the pure east-coast grit and raw power exerted is genuine and natural to this seasoned veteran.
Recorded live in the studio with impressive mastering techniques, Hellafied Flow is 12 east coast influenced hard driving and thunderously funky songs. The powerhouse production team is made up of Carlos Lopez (Syke da Magician, Tru Grind Music), and Ricardo Rios (Armakahn, La Eminencia Records). Known for their unique approach to the mixing, and also for tasteful vocal tone arraigning that’s sonically rich and full, the levels are often subtle and modest yet perfectly suited to each song.
Although I sometimes dislike comparing a current artist to main-stream performers, as it sometimes puts them in a light of being imitators or unoriginal, the fact that the music of Hellafied Flow is drenched neck deep in rock and hard-core hiphop holds more of a pleasant significance than anything else. Originality is far from lacking in Shystah’s music, especially in his lyrical style, a technique that's never excessive or predictable. And the arrangements are diverse and exciting. It's "throwback" music to a different era for sure, but it's a welcomed approach to independent hip-hop that weighs heavily on a predilection for style, volume, and tone.
