"E Major is... Better Than Yours"

The latest release from E Major, a collaboration between Under Sound Music and the popular DC based blog BetterThanYours.net, has been called his best by The City Paper. It features mostly original production, with a number of tracks produced by E Major himself.

"...a searching, wandering, really interesting rapper..." -The City Paper

"This Baltimore hip hop artist is letting everyone know with this project that he is here to stay!" -Gowhere Hip Hop

LOUDER!

E Major teamed with MC and True School DJ Sean Armstrong AKA DJ Face to create a tribute to E Major's biggest Hip Hop influence, the late, great J Dilla. The 7 track EP finds the two MC's trading verses over nothing but classic J Dilla instrumentals.

"Louder! is Armstrong and E simply rapping over a few of Dilla’s beats but their song choices–which sidestep the hits and iconic songs–suggest the kind of obsessive combing of the dude’s discography that defines Dilla fans." -The City Paper

This thematic collection of songs hinges on audio snippets from the 1970 film, Catch 22 and features E Major collaborating with artists such as Substantial, Cynthia Hawkes, Hezekiah, Dre Beloved, J Soul & more. This mixtape features the hits "Feature Presentation" and "Be Alright."
