Bliss N' Eso - "Flying Colors"

Bliss N Eso are a Hip-Hop trio out of Sydney, Australia and are compiled of Emcee Bliss, Emcee Esoterik, and Dj Ism. "Flying Colors" is the groups third full-length release, (4th if you count the "Day of the Dog" remix album) and it is no surprise that these guys get better and better as each album progresses. "Flying Colors" was the first BNE album I bought and it immedietly inspired me to complete my BNE collection. "Flying Colors" is an amazing accumulation of epigrammital lyrics and pounding, heart throbbing beats. DJ Izm never fails to provide the perfect backround music for the point Bliss and Eso need to get across. The theme of the album seems to be self-reliance and inner-strength. Some favorite lines include "The only things that's bullet proof is my self-esteem" "...and if we all can't share then I ain't eatin' mother fucker." These guys have a great sence of community and could bring amazing things to the Hip-Hop culture of the United States. Lets hope they tour here soon!!! (Just another tid-bit. Bliss N Eso's success has been largley accredited to the Hilltop Hoods "taking them under their wing" over at Obese Records. I would just like to say that altough I love Hilltop, I feel that these guys are amazing enough that somebody would have picked up on them eventually. Even if they didn't change their name from "Bliss N Esoterikism".)
