![]() Eligh channels the influence of his hometown’s socioeconomically diverse population, racial strife, vibrant yet laid-back energy, personal battles, and battle rap-ready vigor. Combined with his slabs of electronica and drum breaks faster than Usain Bolt, and you have the backdrop for 80 HRTZ. This fourteen track project is Eligh’s ode to never meeting an 808-bassline that he didn’t like. Since his last solo album Grey Crow, and now on his eighth solo project 80 HRTZ, Eligh may be directing us into his deeper perspective on his past life, present and future aspirations more than ever. During the heyday of other eccentric and trailblazing California collectives such as Freestyle Fellowship and their Project Blowed associates, The Pharcyde, and Hieroglyphics, the Living Legends emcee has consistently been both cryptic and vivid about his absorptions of the underground hip hop scene and the social milieu of the City of Angels. Los Angeles-bred rapper/producer Eligh has stayed the course as an indie Hip Hop torchbearer since the mid-nineties.
