Agartha Audio "The Hollow Earth"

Agartha Audio's, aka producer Dig Dug, new album out now on Uncommon Records sees various MCs over Agartha Audio beats discussing the sci-fi Reptilian Agenda. The theory states that numerous world rulers and those in power now and in the past. are actually reptiles in human disguises. Now don't run away from the album because of the theory, it will be ok, I promise.

First thing first, remember this is definitely an album, not just a collection of songs randomly thrown together, so listen to the whole piece. The stars of the album are the beats of Agartha Audio covering all styles: a little bit of techno, Spanish guitar, reggae, metal, and straight hip-hop. The beauty is that it all works.

The album begins with with the aptly titled "ReptilianRollcall" an instrumental that makes you feel as though you are underground, with some voice overs giving a list of some of the Retiles and some history of the Reptiles. The listener quickly realizes the sort of album they have just gotten into: one where you actually have to keep your ears and mind open.

To make sure to not scare off too many listeners right away, The Butterfly Effect featuring Cam, the first official leak off the album and most straight forward song comes next. This is surely one of the stand out tracks on the album with a great piano-based beat. Cam gives us a bit more of the history and possible future of the Reptilian Agenda and spits one of my fav lines off the album "Put this track out, see if they come and murder me, naw I'm just paranoid, cause no ones ever heard of me"
Then Gigster tells us some of the deeds of various Reptiles on "I Hate Sleep" and just how successful they became, from George Washington to JFK and some more. The beat has a horror dream feel, with some great piano playing throughout. The history lesson continues with a guitar heavy instrumental on "Hollow Earth Memoirs." One of the more spaced out songs "Angilas" follows with 9th Scientist letting us know just how far back the Reptiles arrived.
The album continues with "Word Became Fresh" featuring Tracy Jones, a stripped down beat that works great with Tracy's flow. Nac1 makes his first of 3 appearances on "MKULTRA" on top of one the most "bangin'" of Agartha Audio's beats with snippets letting us know "what we perceive to be reality is not reality at all." By now the idea that the Reptilian Agenda just may be true begins to creep into your head.
"Do some research, don't just pick any old name to go by that sounds cool," are uttered by E.Coli to begin "Researching0157h7." And this is exactly what happens on this track, some research about E.Coli. Then a Brazilian style song plays for a few seconds before we are reminded that yes it is true "Fat Kids Taste Better" which warns us of the dangers of fast food, laziness, and just being good ol fat Americans. We then get to take a smoke break with Nac1 and Tracy Jones on "The Tallest Trees" which shows that if used correctly almost any sound can create a great beat in the hands of a talented producer. "Twist Blissfully (Romantic Interlude)" acts as just that a breif interlude but offers some foreshadowing into what is coming next.

Mischief Mic then offers a preview of what may happen to Agartha Audio if the right (or wrong people depending on how you see it) hear this album on "Life in the Camps." "Unleashing BioEngines" featuring The Presence, lets us look into the eyes of someone who sees the true horror of the secret war between humans and the reptiles. While The Presence do a great job on the mics the funky beat steals this song, before being transformed into a horror movie. The ominous instrumental "Spring Came" picks right up where "Twist Blissfully (Romantic Interlude)" left off.

The album concludes with possibly the best track on the album and one you can hear below. Nac1 cuts loose on a good ol' fashion hip-hop track "Together," while still fitting into the theory but not holding back on social and political commentary. If you are not a fan of this track, I might have to ask for you to hand in your hip-hop fandom.

Now I know I sort of just recapped each song which I was trying not to do, but this isn't your standard album, if forced to describe it to someone I would say it is as if Dr. Octagon's (Kool Keith) "Dr. Octagonecologyst" and Prince Paul's "A Prince Among Thieves" had a baby. Then you would have Agartha Audio's "The Hollow." You need to check out this album and listen with open hearts open minds and open ears and you will see why. It is also not an album you listen to once and decide what you think about it, take some time, digest it really listen to it.
