From Raptalk.com


It’s funny that closing out the year, Tha Connection brings out one of the best rap records, not just from this year, but for a couple of ‘em. The duo made up of emcees Hus the King Pin and Smoovth, have not been an overwhelming media attraction. They have put in time on mix tapes, samplers and singles, but they remain relatively unknown. The tracks available on Rhymehouse from Tha Connec’s Trapeze, should ingratiate them to every true head on the planet. The production is half way between ‘90s jazz/rap hybrids and new millennial synthesizers. That last part might be confusing to readers – it is. The synths that are included don’t sound like silly dance music or ‘80s rock, but could easily have come from any Doom produced track. The fact that Trapeze is the group’s first full length only makes this all the more shocking. But as if this lone shot of twenty some odd tracks wasn’t enough, this East Coast group is slated to release more of their unique sounds on Japanese label Goon Trax. Spreading their name far-a-field, Tha Connection seems to making a play at international rap dominance. And really, they might be able to pull it off. If nothing else they really do deserve it. Amidst all of the tough guy rap that gets passed off as the real thing, it’s refreshing to hear a new act come at listeners in such a genuine manner. Braggadocio should be included and perhaps more will crop up, but it’s not really braggin’ if it’s true.


From Rhymehouse.com


After numerous guest appearances, EPs, and free mixtapes, Tha Connection, a Hempstead, New York hip hop duo made up of MCs Hus the KingPin and Smoovth, have snatched the tail end of 2008 and made it all their own with two heavily slept on releases. Trapeze, an incredible 27 track urban-space odyssey through jazz laced starry nights, is an incredible introduction to two relatively unknowns. Full of lush samples and a nonchalant tandem swagger that’s reminiscent of Havoc and Prodigy, Tha Connection prove themselves a force to be reckoned with for years to come. The duo followed up their mindblowing opening statement with a Japanese import via Goon Trax entitled, Moon Water. Although impossible to find in the US, Hus and Smoovth ride their spaced out grime to the land of the sun where its residents seem to bathe their eardrums in far better music than their cornfed counterparts. From- RapTalk.com-------- Putting out one of the strongest, most listenable, jazzy and laid back albums of last year – or maybe the last few – hasn’t given Tha Connection the slightest notion of slowing down. And while thus far into 2009, we haven’t had any new releases or sightings from the Long Island duo, a free promo of theirs dating from the beginning of last year was just posted by the dudes over at Rhyme House. And if you missed it the first time around, do yourself the favor of snaggin’ IT before it disappears – this time perhaps for good. Tha Connection, made up of Hus Tha KingPin and SmooVth Dude, made an initial appearance on a Rawkus related release last year. And since that time have put out, counting the above disc, three releases – or nearly sixty tracks. And regardless of the genre that one may work in, that’s a great deal of music to put out. Spreading it out over, Domination Records and Goon Trax, Tha Connection has created a stunningly consistent body of work over this past year. It’s not that the music is detached from time, but it sounds timeless. Each track is devoid of clichéd 2000 style keyboards and hyphy beats, yelling and singing. This is rap music tied to the golden age like few acts are capable of creating. Connect, which was released prior to their proper debut Trapeze, or even the Universal Dominance mix tape, gave listeners a preview of what was to come. This recording though easily trumps some of more heavily lauded rap releases from 2008. And that in and of itself is really the manner by which to gauge the talent of this duo ____________________________________________________________ http://whentheyreminisce.com---93. “Take It Higher”-Tha Connection Damn, I’m lovin’ this track right now!! You recognize the sample (Tragedy’s “Return Of The Life (Remix)” anyone?), you may not know Tha Connection just yet..but, if this impressive duo keeps droppin’ shit like this they’ll soon become a household name in the underground. Did I mention I’m lovin’ this track right now?! I just got back from a “spur of the moment” road trip to PA this past weeked and this Vans Cal-produced track must’ve received nearly 50 plays in the Ipod. My homeboy and I couldn’t get over the sick instrumentation within this track, for a full blown case of the “goosebumps” be very attentive near the 2:24 mark and you’ll feel exactly what I’m sayin’. Not to put any added pressure on this Hempstead/Long Island duo but there’s somethin’ about these dudes, or maybe it’s the way they carry themselves on the mic that reminds me of an “Infamous-era” Mobb Deep. Hell, lyrically these cats are definitely a step up on Havoc and Prodigy right now. I can’t wait to hear what tha Connection has up their sleeves for ‘09. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ***Tha Connection Interview From - http://www.wydublog.com/ *** ____________________________________________________________ http://www.wydublog.com/2008/10/new-artist-spotlight-tha-connection.html ____________________________________________________________ 10/12/2008 New Artist Spotlight: Tha Connection ____________________________________________________________ Earlier this year, my man Eric from When They Reminisce text messaged me saying that I needed to check out this group. As some of you know, sometimes Eric and I have different tastes. He is more into the soulful crooning found on some albums, with jazzy samples, while I'm more into the boombap, hard drums and more or less a throwback sound. When I got the chance, I got online and before I had a chance to check out this group E was talking about, there was an email from Domination Recordings with a free download for the same group Eric was telling me about. I downloaded the album, pressed play on the Winamp, and what I heard blew me away. Tha Connection, the group in question, has the mellow, smooth, jazzy shit that Eric likes, while they keep the bangin' drums and rough edge to the music that I like. ____________________________________________________________ Since then, I've been playing that free album, which is "Universal Dominance", almost daily. The sound is very cohesive, yet diverse enough to keep my attention. It's not going to incite any riots, but it's great music to unwind at the end of the day. And after listening to their new album, Trapeze (special blogger privileges), I can safely say, that it may be even better. There are already a couple tracks on it that will be making my top100 of the year. Of course, we sat down and talked to the crew known as Tha Connection...... ____________________________________________________________ W: How did y'all form as a group, how long have you been doing your thing? ____________________________________________________________ Tha Connection: Hus Tha KingPin and SmooVth Dude formed Tha Connection back in 03', we met thru some mutual female friends, and been rockin' ever since. ____________________________________________________________ W: There seems to be some names that seem to pop up quiet often on the album productions, Twelvebit, Ialone, Sci-Fi, Vans Cal, DJ Kryptonite, are those fam members or part of a larger crew? ____________________________________________________________ TC: Those are our brothers! Twelvebit from Sweden dropped his debut via Rawkus 50 that we appeared on 11 times. Ialone is a dark deep producer from Sweden, we've been working with him for quite some time now. Sci - Fi is a beat wizard from the UK who has been working closely with us for a while, and is working with Hus on a new web label called "The Advantage Music Group, AMG". Vans Cal is a heaven sent phenom who produces the illest shit on earth, and is all over our Goon Trax album release entitled "Moon Water" dropping in December. DJ Kryptonite is a legend, he's currently down with the Creative Juices crew, and has been with us since day one. ____________________________________________________________ W: Was Tha Connection a part of the Rawkus 50 movement last year? ____________________________________________________________ TC: Rawkus 50 is all about Twelvebit, our brother had us appear on there 11 times out of the 23 tracks on the release. Check his album called Twelvebit - Stranded On Planet Rock. ____________________________________________________________ W: The free project, "Universal Dominance", is definitely in my top 10 ten of the year, I find it amazing that there is that much quality in a free project. What is the reason behind offering it as a promotional item? Any physical copies floating around out there? ____________________________________________________________ TC: We have so much music, we always put out free gems. Domination Recordings just recognized the talent, and pumped that one out there as a promo before we drop the digital album entitled "Trapeze" on Thanksgiving. ____________________________________________________________ W: What are your opinions regarding the internet and how it's changed the entire business as far as promoting and marketing music? ____________________________________________________________ TC: It's free promotion. Gotta do it. It's the new way of marketing your crew. Can't beat it. Unfuckwitable. It got us our Domination Recordings and Goon Trax situation. ____________________________________________________________ W: You have signed to Domination Recordings, as previously mentioned. It seems like a nice little up and coming label. How did you hook up with them? ____________________________________________________________ TC: We first signed a contract to Tokyo, Japans Goon Trax label. Domination Recordings works closely with that label, and it was natural. Plus DJ at Domination is the don, whut up cuzz! ____________________________________________________________ W: You have two albums, one with the Goon Trax label out of Japan and another for Domination. With the Goon Trax album dropping in December, what can we can we expect from that? Is that going to be a strictly import type thing for those of those of us back home? ____________________________________________________________ TC: The Goon Trax album is a straight jazz/hip hop gem, 16 track CD, and a 6 track Vinyl. Entitled "Moon Water" and is exclusive to Japan. Straight Import. Props to Phil Potz. ____________________________________________________________ W: What will the Domination album consist of? When can we expect to see that? ____________________________________________________________ TC: The Domination Recordings album will consist of raw shit and soul gems. It's called "Trapeze" and is coming in November on Thanksgiving. 26 Track gem! ____________________________________________________________ W: Anything else the minions should be aware of that you guys are associated with in the future? ____________________________________________________________ Check out Fella Vaughns vinyl release via Melting Pot Music that dropped in August, Hus appeared on that one. Check out the SmooVth and Drums EP via Peakaboo, dropped last year, I believe all the physicals are sold out, but google it. Check out our freebies we dropped via our myspace earlier this year, Food EP and last years Connect EP, myspace.com/theconnectionteam ____________________________________________________________ W: Any last words? ____________________________________________________________ TC: Props to my man Ka from the GZA - Pro Tools, track 11 Firehouse. Look out for him. Check his album "Iron Works", look for him on our myspace top 40 and message him for it, he only gives it out personally. Don't forget, "Trapeze" via Domination Recordings in November and "Moon Water" via Goon Trax in December. Props to my g, Trav. Love infinite.
