Son of Ran and Memphis Reigns were two emcees who hooked up during the college days at Santa Cruz in California in the same year that Genelec & Memphis Reigns' Scorpion Circles album came out. If you know anything about that release then you should know this little group of people were releasing nothing but quality hip-hop. Scorpion Circles quickly became one of my favorite albums after I discovered it and gave repeated listens before becoming a total fan. Son of Ran is an alright emcee and his style pairs well with that of Memphis Reigns. He's not as good but then again one can see why. Production is well done but doesn't quite have the undeniable and unique awesomeness of Scorpion Circles. There are some slower songs like Alone and there are bangers like As Far As the Eyes Can See. There aren't enough really great tracks though and Memphis Reigns doesn't seem to get enough microphone time, or else this would get a higher rating. Memphis Reigns is still on top of his game here, more so with his flow than the stunning lyrical display on Scorpion Circles. I love his style and he is quickly becoming one of my favorite emcees of all time. Memphis Reigns is serving in Afghanistan right now for the U.S. Army. Read more on Last.fm.
