This week's "Tales From The Tapedecks" is by our guest writer Johnny Magnum reviewing artist GMK "Perfect 10" hosted by Seattle's DJ B-Mello reppin' both KEXP & KUBE 93 radio...

Who is GMK? That will soon be like asking who is DJ B-Mello. DJ B-Mello  who some may also know as ‘West Coast DJ of The Year” handles the hosting and mixing of the elegant martini tilted “Perfect 10”. 

GMK delivers a mixtape blaring out more like a full length album and boom baps like that classic Hip-Hop we all know and love.

Production efforts are handled by GMK himself as well Bean One (Jurassic 5, Living Legends, Dyme Def), Black & Brown, Eric G (Skyzoo) and J-ONE.

GMK delivers lyrics sharp that are in-depth.  His cleverness and witty charm hits with perfect timing making all 10 tracks an enjoyable listen. Wishing this album was a tad bit longer at times however manages to satisfy my musical pallet.

Here are some tracks that deserve heavy rotation:
"Media Driven": Eric G delivers that hard hitting raw drum beater with dark tones that lay the track for GMK to spit his brilliant swag. Lines like "They now mimic my images my resolution looking spiff, 300 lines per inch I'm lost without J-Dilla.". GMK is on a mission with this one. Letting you know he can rock the rapid cadence riddle with deep witty thought.

"Carry Me Home": This swinging joint produced by GMK himself saw a video release at the top of '09 that can be found on YouTube. First thought is not another track about a chick. So think God GMK is able to make his point in less than 2 minutes. Attention ladies if you want to get with GMK he has a few requirements but first you got to carry him home.

"Let It Go": This dish coming served up as the upbeat and uplifting track of the tape. Almost too late however just in time but then again this is "Perfect 10" GMK encouraging all to wipe there brow and "let it go...Let it go". "I'm soning ya'll can't wait tell you say uncle" GMK is clearly not letting go until he get his point across.

This is proven by the fact that this mixtape, "Perfect 10" has 12 tracks.

Tracks 11 and 12 'Drop That' and 'Dream On' we find GMK spitting fast, hard, and extremely edgy spilling his passion for Real Hip-Hop.

On another note, GMK is buzzing on the National College Radio scene with his current single, "College Girls"...
