The Third Strike By The Croatian Nightmare

Antoni Jur'i 'alias Cronite already combines a very long time of his life with the music. Starting as a breakdancer, through various battles against American GIs bishin his outstanding debut album "Cronite" in 2003 under Universal Records went the way that set him firmly on the music scene and gave a name. After Mixtape "Independence Day" in collaboration with DJ buddy Polique 2005 his second masterpiece "Pariah" (which includes, inter alia, a feature of Juice Crew legend Masta Ace) just one year later, it gradually became quiet around him. But 2011 will apparently be the year of the presumed dead albums releases because after already Saigon weeks ago good 2 saw its long-awaited debut album "Greatest Story Never Told" the light of day, Dr. Dre's for almost 10 years touted new album "Detox" now finally be released in the spring, also Cronite presents his 3rd studio album called "Magnum Opus". Packed with a 16 song strong tracklist and a quite interesting guest line-up in the form of John Davis, Addis (formerly Raptile), Viper, Jay Del Alma, Joshua Patrik, Ras Kass, Daniel Ivory, Supastition aka Kam Moye, The Burrougs Juniors , Dolt All of The Lords of the Underground and Pacha Man. But enough with the preliminary information and purely in "Magnum Opus".

Already the intro deserves the title "Great". A disturbing atmosphere is created by the great melodies and the choruses and, there are a few thoughtful words that everyone should take to heart. In "Many Men" welcomes us Cronite to his third album and rhymt like crazy on a rather loose instrumental, with which one feels immediately connected. Parts of the text with chorus "Many Men rhyme but not like me ... many men shine but not like me ..." should not misunderstand you, because Cro will hereby not splurge or dissing but simply to make it clear that he was one of the " real most cats "is in the game and his own thing pervades. "Still Here" is pushed by his cool beat accompanied by matching melodies really thick forward and singer John Davis gives the whole song through its buttery soft voice soulful accents. Continuing with "push hard", with Addis and Viper afford Cronite strong support here. A nice Synthe Beat gives the tone here and Addis and Viper sharing the chorus to a song sure is very radio friendly and the clubs can bring to burn. Cronite completed their part perfectly with its poisonous Skillz on the mic. Floats Now "Magnum Opus" so a little more relaxed phase because with the soulful "Baby Girl" in conjunction with a gala performance of Jay Del Alma and the characterized by a magnificent piano melody "Your Way" offers Cronite two more pieces that truly under the skin go. Ras Kass is to "Dem Boyz" the honor and ravaged the bumpende Instrumental lyric along with Cronite in the best manner. "Greater Later" know like "Push Hard" a crashing Synthe beat on and must have appropriate chilling moments in the chorus by Daniel Ivory's accompanying vocals. After a so far very ornate with guest appearances work the second solo track "All My Life" comes along. A pompous instrumental with colorful melodies and oppressive guitars provide the perfect basis to Cro powerful to let spitten fire. A little softer then drifts "Madness" down again and gives the album continues a good balance. Although the beat blaring out of the speakers powerfully, yet this hardness of the fantastically combined melody of strings and piano, Michael Marshall's delightful, emotional vocals and Cronites stunning songwriting referenced sidelined. "Warriors of Love" is reminiscent of his style very much of East Coast Rap 90s, like him nowadays in times of RnB and electro Influenced Blackmusic probably only a minority of musicians use (Take, as an example. As Jedi Mind Tricks , Cormega, Talib Kweli, etc.). The instrumental runs really hot, this one gets yet known beep voice heard (which was indeed used by, inter alia, the Diplomats breits often) and Cronite and Supastition propel each other energetically to the top. Next, the street single "Time will show" presented in collaboration with DoItAll what already a music video was shot. A very relaxed track, of inviting you for its beautifully arranged melodies to dream, but also a perfect stage for world-class performances of the two offers. "Children are the future" is the in terms of quality in any way to the dirty and "Survivor" with feature Pacha Man, which gives a little Summer flair throughout by his Jamaican accent, has its charms. Before we speak of "Magnum Opus" come to an end by the outro, which is sort of a continuation of the intros, Cronite offers us "Ridin Through the Night" on. A slow piece that delivers a super final with profound lyrics, oppressive / dark melodies and gescrewten Hook and Cronite again calling for a top performance on the mic.

Cronite's third studio album "Magnum Opus" once again shows the world class of Nuremberg MC's with Bosnian Croat roots. The plate is produced terrific from start to finish and to get in any White even comes close to the idea of ​​skipping a track. The Toni what can be held on Mic you again only with a lot of respect and praise to shower, plus everything is rather in English in German Rapgeschäft the exception. His sensational songwriting gives the whole a lot of depth and logic and is not Gepose 0815 along the lines of "I'm the coolest, have cars, jewelry and women" etc. talk, but that was always Cronites trademark against the current / Trend run and just as much as possible hineinzustecken heart and soul for the love of music in his own thing.
