About
"Best Rap" (2010) - Toronto Independent Music Awards
Nominated for "Best Hip-hop/Rap Album" - Independent Music Awards
“Operating at the highest level, MAGNOLIUS have crafted a quick-witted hip-hop experience that reveals just how far the genre has progressed in recent years. Sharing more in common with ‘Bitches Brew’ (Miles Davis) than ‘Straight Outta Compton’, ‘Ode To Hyde’ proves that rap can be every bit as creative as jazz. Evidence, then, that hip-hop has well and truly grown up.”
-RANT Magazine (UK)
"The chemistry between the duo, Shan Vincent de Paul & Derek DaCosta....well if you could bottle it, you could sell it back to N-Power and make some tidy wedge. It's angry and aware, yet sharp and has sense of humour"
- Whispers Mag (UK)
"Best of all is their successful spanning of that sometimes-massive space existing between the disparate sides of tradition and experimentation within hip-hop, moving from one to the other with casual ease."
- EXCLAIM! (Toronto)
"This is not an average rap record. Don’t expect to hear the verses bookended by the hook. The hook is too busy swooping in on shifting sounds as it suits the song, or pleases the craftsmen’s whim.Each track’scomposition is crafted with a level of competency far above the standard kick/snare, bassline, and samples, a construction mainstream hip-hop hasn’t been able to let go of..."
- I Lion (Sask. Express)
