Mad Maestro Entertainment unites artists who have a genuine passion for hip hop. Not only does their recent Pay Homage mixtape features great names in hip hop such as Outkast, Xzibit, Mobb Deep and many more, it is also beautifully worked on lyrically and instrumentally.

Ready for a ride into Mad Maestro’s world? Let’s go.

The Not Enough Introduction totally enlightens Kallisto’s and Whosane’s skills. Deep and warm female vocals will allow the listeners to fully appreciate the soul flavor of the track. Crazy scratches, numerous violins, a great dose of offensiveness, hood stories, a good flow delivery, lyrical bullets will draw you a realistic picture of the well handled track of both dedicated artists. I recommend it to all of you true hip hop heads.

Times Up beautifully marries a deep blues dimension that totally fits into the raw hip hop spirit brought to you by Kallisto whose skills and scratches probably won’t leave you indifferent. Soft vocals, a complex instrumental composition made of keyboard sounds, trumpets, flute, violins, scratches, guitar sounds and rhythmic drum beats underline Kallisto and OC’s talent.

Shook Ones has Mobb Deep on the song. Dynamic, based on guitar and keyboard sounds, the song gives you a realistic vision of street life.
Watch your mouth until you want to get shot. I love the way Mobb Deep spits on the mic.

Soft vocals, violins start Outkast’s Elevators song. I can feel good, good vibrations. Sit back, relax and taste with delight.

C.R.E.A.M is a beautiful tribute to the Wu Tang Clan. Piano notes, soft vocal are combined with the raw raps and give the song a jazzy/ soul dimension.

Paparazzi is a remake of Xzibit’s former song. Mad Maestro Entertainment beautifully masters the production. Don’t sleep on that track!

One Love pays its respect to lyrical master Nas. Piano, violins, rhythmic beats bring this beautiful Nas tribute to shine.

Don’t miss You Ain’t A Killa featuring rap legend Big Pun. Scratches , piano, flute sounds, rapid drum beats, gunshots enhance the gangsta dimension of the track.

Enjoy the work of artists who live and breathe hip hop. The mixtape beautifully pays tribute to great names in hip hop.

Check it out here and consider it as a valuable Christmas present.

Mad Maestro Entertainment’s gift to you all: the Homage album…i will give it a review asap…be prepared for some authentic good quality hip hop:)

Today I will introduce you to Mad Maestro Entertainment, a label of Brooklyn that has a lot of interesting tunes to offer to the listeners.
Moreover, the design of their website is definitely worth a look. It introduces you into the streets of the ghetto and allows you to meet a lot of nice people making their music.

As I always tell it to underground emcees who are worried about their promotional tools: a well designed website is half of the way done. The internet is one of the best ways for you to get known worldwide.
A well made website will attract the listener and make him want to know more about you. It will encourage him to buy your records and will help to get you a solid name in the rap game.

When you enter Mad Maestro Entertainment’s website, you are nicely surprised by the intelligent way it is handled. You feel like virtually visiting the streets of Brooklyn, feeling its atmosphere.
The City is illuminated and people are walking in the noisy streets of Brooklyn. Ready for a ride with Mad Maestro entertainment? Follow me.

The first page is dedicated to the daily news regarding the happenings within the label.
The second page offers several business solutions regarding marketing, management and distribution.
The third page introduces you into the production team (Kallisto, J. Frazier, J.Hill and Justone) . Not only will it allow you to have some insight about the producers’ biography, it will also allow you to discover a few songs on the right part.

Page four is dedicated to three artists, Ron Patterson, Chen Lo and Whosane-The Prophet.

Ron Patterson’s song, I Like It Like That, is very rhythmic and has some rich instrumentals. I’m not really a R’N’B lover, but I found this track very pleasant. Ron Patterson has a nice, warm and charming voice that probably won’t leave the ladies indifferent. Check it out when you have time, it is definitely worth your attention.

Another of his songs is We Can Do It. Rhythmic as well, enriched with some good instrumentals, the song is romantic as well and, again, you will enjoy Ron Patterson’s soft and colorful voice.

Chen Lo’s Destiny song will introduce you into a philosophical reflection about life. Keyboard sounds, catchy beats, soft vocals and Chen Lo’s nice flow delivery make this track highly enjoyable. Be sure of it: everything happens for a reason.

Gun Talk will lead you into a fully loaded atmosphere. Chen Low spits with confidence on his track and draws a realistic picture of ghetto violence.

I recommend you Rap Of Today that is beautifully enlightened with scratch sounds. The song points out real love for the music. Yes, we need more artists who live for the love of their art more than for its commercial use.

The third artist exposed on Mad Maestro Entertainment is Whosane-The Prophet.
Listen to Exile: it will teach you about the harsh struggle of ghetto people on the block.
Product of Circumstances is another of his lyrical and instrumental jewels that describes ghetto life with realness.
