Blaktrix The Bliktape (mixtape)
Blaktrix continues to pile the pressure on all competition by releasing his mix CD “The Blixtape” not long after dropping two EPs. This theme would suggest that an album is on the way and judging by his past product and of course this one, there’s going to be plenty that Blaktrix will have to offer over an LP! The fact he holds down 23 tracks on this mix CD just shows he’s no flash-in-the-pan artist and can happily tackle ranges of tracks and as importantly, subjects.
Mixed by the superb Optimus Prime deejay Munki, “The Blixtape” takes plenty of exclusive beats, a few choice picks from Blaktrix’s ever growing back catalogue and of course the customary jacked beats. The first thing that instantly impresses is how well the back catalogue stuff fits in, with “Right To Reply” from his Trust EP standing out as easily one of the best tracks on the whole mix. Another mild revelation are the ragga vibed beats on this EP which echo Trix’s husky smooth flow so well that I definitely feel he could work this angle more. Fact is though, whatever beat he’s spitting over, this is an emcee with a special gift for moulding over a beat and cloaking it in his unmistakeable style.
The use of Jimi Hendrix’s “Burning Of The Midnight Lamp” is a prime example of the talented production that Blaxtrix has behind him. This coupled with his warm and somewhat easy style, produces a unique output which is destined for big things. Who’s going to have the balls to hold him back? The true Welsh devolution is here, taking Hiphop back to the realness!
