Review: Producer, rapper and musician Kurious shares his new album Majician, cementing the legacy he's built in music since at least 1994. Harking back to the style and feel laid down on his debut A Constipated Monkey, Kurious continues to weave a lifelong tapestry of lyrical history and insight, whilst always remaining true to his most signature flow, ducking through and under each pocket in the beat. The tracks are as menacing as they are magnanimous: 'Separation Anxiety' is a personal excoriation by way of lyrical free association, while 'Par For the Course' renders drum breaks from the early Reagan era totally revitalised. The level of work Kurious poured into into Majician thus bolsters his reputation as one of the premier MCs of his time.

Review: After a long hiatus from solo projects, Kurious returns with Majician, an album that cements his legacy as a top-tier lyricist. Known for his 1994 debut A Constipated Monkey. Kurious delivers a fresh yet familiar sound on this new release. Produced by Mono En Stereo and executive produced by the late DOOM, Majician is a masterful blend of intricate wordplay and reflective storytelling. Tracks like 'Eye of Horus' showcase Kurious' ability to effortlessly navigate complex beats with insightful rhymes, while 'Separation Anxiety' delves deep into personal themes through sharp lyricism. 'Par For the Course' revitalises classic drum breaks, bringing a nostalgic yet innovative touch to the project. Majician is more than just a comeback; it's a powerful reaffirmation of Kurious' skill and dedication to the craft. The album's meticulous production and introspective content highlight Kurious as an MC who has not only endured but evolved.
