BV Review: DJ
Graffiti - 'Bling Free, Vol. 3: It's
Official!'
(Monday, August 23, 2004 -

 Are you a Hip Hop fan? No, let me
correct that. Are you a REAL Hip Hop fan? If so, it's
time to add another classic CD to your collection. DJ
Graffiti, based out of Michigan, drops his newest
mixtape full of hot beats and sick MCs you may have
never heard of. Warning: For the simple-minded, you may
have to listen 5-10 times because your ears aren't used
to quality lyricism.
Graffiti has compiled a
bevy of artists from the more recognizable (EPMD, Slum Village, Dead Prez, Jeru The Damaja) to the up-and-coming,
extra hungry (Athletic Mic League, Lawless Element,
The Strange Fruit Project).
Not a mixtape in
terms of scratching and mixing in between tracks but
more in terms of bringing you a number of exclusive,
unreleased and overseas releases, Bling Free, Vol.3
nevertheless does more than whet the appetite and
provides a 7-course lyrical meal that might not leave
room for dessert. If you're STILL hungry, though, just
pick up any of DJ Graffiti's previous releases.
