Hi-Tek

Hi-Tek had a well-received album in late 2006 called Hi-Teknology Volume 2: The Chip. Highly rated, and still buzzing, he opted to release a follow-up, Hi-Teknology 3: The Underground, within a year. Unfortunately for the super-producer, strength isn’t in numbers. A wide array of hip-hop artists were featured over his captivating production and the content selection for The Underground is impressive, but the chemistry is lacklustre for the majority of the album. While it should be noted that he used The Underground to put on his local hometown artists, none of them shine. Stellar exceptions include "My Piano,” featuring Raekwon and Ghostface, "Time” featuring Talib Kweli and "You Give Life To Me.”
