The Creators - Bad Magic Mix Tape

Discogs - The Creators

In 1999, The Creators dropped 'The Weight', and pretty much nothing happened in the UK. Even though this album features a plethora of guest stars from the US (Talib Kweli, Mos Def, El Da Sensei, Phil Da Agony, etc.) I don't think it did that well over in the states either. It really is their loss, because this record is outstanding. Managing to sound very accomplished for their debut album, The Creators have created an album which would match and surpass it's American counterparts. The album was self financed on the whole until Bad Magic stepped in with some backing. If you're into real hip-hop then I'd really recommend this album, and if your not convinced you'll like it check out this 40 min mix tape showcasing their skills which was released just after The Weight came out. You won't be disappointed!
