Widely accepted as one of the best lyricists in the game currently, Elzhi (although mostly capitalized as eLZhi) has been making moves for awhile. Mostly garnering fame from being Slum Village's latest member, Jason Powers has changing the rap game lately. With his latest release, Ellmatic (which I'm sure you've heard by now), he sort of covers and pays homage to Illmatic, with all newly composed beats by a live band.
Most Elzhi fans have heard his debut album, The Preface, that dropped late '08; not a lot of heard a CD he released on tour in Europe earlier that year. This CD was titled EuroPass (for obvious reasons) and includes several songs not available on The Preface -- or anywhere else for that matter. For some reason two of them were dope productions by Black Milk that are easily my favorites. Definitely a pickup for Elzhi fan, or someone trying to get into the new savior. Stream and link below.
