NEWS: Urb Magazine Gives Eternia Album 4 Stars!
Eternia‘s getting her Shad on right now and popping up all over the place as she grinds out the promo for At Last (which is out now). Here’s a review of the album courtesy of Urb.com.
The first thing you notice when you hear Eternia’s music is the raw power in her voice. Three years ago, MoSS noticed the same thing, and the two Canadian artists began work on their very first collaborative project — drawing from Eternia’s greatest asset for the sonic backbone of At Last. According to MoSS, the goal was to capture her live stage-presence inside the recording booth. Just listening to the first handful of tracks makes it perfectly clear that the experiment was a success.
While her previous recordings came off as more subdued and calculating, here the MC born Silk-Kaya tears into MoSS’ sample-heavy production with a vengeance, all while maintaining the honesty and openess that attracted so many fans to her music in the first place. Even when she’s firing off battle raps, she manages to boost their authenticity by weaving in some stunningly personal confessions. On “It’s Funny” she holds her own with Slaughterhouse lyrical-heavyweight Joell Ortiz by combining standard MC braggadocio with personal confession:
“they cats try to see on the low / they tell they chicks they going to check a show, but it’s me that they checkin’ fo / then they tell me that they don’t want a wife / they want a life with a rapper chick, grass-is-greener shit, that’s why I’m celibate”
