Blak Madeen - Supreme Aftermath [Album Artwork]

Boston’s own Blak Madeen deliver an incredibly potent and relevant new album, ‘Supreme Aftermath‘, that deftly tackles Islamophobia, media-fueled hatred, & other issues facing our society.

Group member’s Yusuf Abdul-Mateen & Al-J both drive that point home in making it clear that their message on this album is simple: “Think for yourself; don’t let the media or the politicians tell you how to view the world,” says Yusuf. While Al-J, agrees: “We are not preaching or trying to tell you what to do. You have to gravitate to our message–it’s magnetic.

That sentiment is felt immediately on the opening title track, an already-powerful message made that much more poignant through the use of Malcolm X quotes. His voice serves as a guiding light for the duo, two proud Muslim men who use the remaining 13 songs to spread love, dish out sharp criticisms of the media, & spit straight verbal darts.

The album boasts features from the likes of The Gift Of Gab, Planet Asia, & Blacastan, who provide compelling guest appearances on “Long Way To Go“, “Guerrilla Soldiers“, & “Mic Divine“, respectively. And it’s not just the fact that these guests leave a mark on the album with their skills; they’re clearly well-thought out choices who complement their like-minded rap brethren. Al-J & Yusuf prove their just as capable on their own, though, especially on cuts like the aptly titled “Energetic Darts“, as well as the thoughtful album-closer, “Where’s Justice?“.

With ‘Supreme Aftermath‘, Blak Madeen add another impressive project to their already-solid catalogue, while cementing Boston’s placement on the Hip-Hop map. “I think ‘Supreme Aftermath’ is our best work yet, production-wise. It’s soulful music with a good message,Al-J says, while Yusuf notes that they knew exactly what they wanted to do both lyrically & musically. The latter received a boost from a top-notch production lineup, comprised of The Arcitype, Sicknature (of Snowgoons), & Teddy Roxpin, among others.

Beyond all that, the two just want people to enjoy this album for what it is: “This is Hip-Hop, first & foremost,Yusuf says. “One doesn’t need to be a Muslim or a Five Percenter or whatever to feel it. Music is universal.
