L-R: RC Tha Trackaholiq, Wojack, Silver Shadow D

Scanning through Seattle producer RC Tha Trackaholiq's new album "Full Circle," I'm noticing my favorite songs are by old guys. And by old, I mean "people who were rapping when I was born" (1982).

Sometimes it's annoying to hear all these young, no-perspective rappers laughing at their own jokes, patting themselves on the back for lyrics that really aren't that clever. Sometimes I just want to hear old guys who aren't trying to impress anyone kick some solid raps.

Here, area elders Wojack and Silver Shadow D pokerfacedly dispense hard truths, free advice, and goofball jokes. "In The City" is a neo-Shaft groove, "The Blastoff" is throwback electro; both tracks are produced by RC Tha Trackaholiq.

Toward the end of the song, Silver Shadow D suggests the listener focus his/her chi and meditate.
