MKE Wired reviews "The Alternate Reality of..." album...
“Lets Put a Smile On That Face”
Posted on 28 August 2009 by BlackMarmalade
Reinventing the wheel can be overrated, unnecessary, and sometimes just plain dumb. There is something to be said for sticking to a proven formula and bringing something that makes it entertaining and successful. The House of M, which consists of “Dj DeadBeat, Gambit, D’Matikk, Trellmatic, Raze, Ecko, Dylan Thomas, Lou-Tang, Dana Coppa, & A.P.R.I.M.E.”, have managed to do both.
The House of M’s new album The Alternate Reality Of… begins where any well-rounded hip-hop album might, with a good skit! “106th & Burliegh” pokes fun at the landscape of today’s Hip-Hop while keeping it light-hearted & entertaining. What House of M has done well, besides creating skits that are even funnier on second and third listens, is put together a cohesive album that is well balanced despite all of it’s many moving parts. Between the superhero movie samples, top-notch crisp production, and various emcees sharing the mic, there are many dangerous cliffs for them to fall off. They manage to drive through the rugged terrain with a nod and a smile.
“Superman Ain’t My Name” borrows its concept from the Iron Man news conference, but has the outcome of the news conference from The Dark Knight; with the various emcee‘s not accepting the claims that they’re Superman. Interestingly they pull it off.
Dana Coppa's verse is a stand out and displays a flow that rides the laidback soul infused beat easily with lyricism to match. “…my weakness green but it’s not kryptonite/ and when I grip the mic/ I use my super vision to pick out which chick I’m finna take home and hit tonight.”
Other standout tracks include “Breakin Free” Ft. Speakeasy, Wave Nouveau, Day In The Life Of…, and the hilarious “Wack Poetry Jam” that is the highlight of all of the skits on the album.
Overall "The Alternate Reality Of…" isn’t groundbreaking in its format or structure but it has allowed me the luxury of not hitting the skip button once in three listens and it’s feel good Hip-Hop that puts a smile on your face. The album is an above average effort from a local group that sounds like they’re on a major label's roster. You’ll catch me in the whip bumping this for a minute.

The Mad Bloggers Review "The Alternate Reality of..."
Check It ... House of M “The Alternate Reality of …”
Around the time that this blog was reborn earlier this year, we seemed to find Milwaukee's (and Wisconsin in general) hip-hop scene. I can’t recall how we stumbled upon it but we haven’t looked back since. I’ve never been to Wisconsin nor did I know people there before but I’m happy to have found some of the hip-hop cooking up in the area.
As one of my favorite female Milwaukee emcee, Melissa Czarnik, said to me recently, “we are most definitely brewing something other than beer here in Milwaukee right now.”
It’s such a true statement. They are brewing up some great hip-hop. The House of M is one of those examples.
The homie Dana Coppa hit me up a few weeks back with the early release of this House of M project. It sat on the desktop for a few days but once I got the chance to listen to it, the joint impressed me immediately. House of M The Alternate Reality of … is true hip-hop! The crew straight out of Wisconsin is made up of producers D’Matikk, Trellmatic, Dylan Thomas and Lou-Tang; emcees Gambit, Ecko, A.P.R.I.M.E. and Dana Coppa; emcee and producer Raze and DJ DeadBeat. Together the crew creates a powerful sound, rich with classic hip-hop influences and a style of their own.
Their tracks are dope! Production is tight! The flow is great! The interludes are amazing! Every track is great as a solid standalone but come together nicely to tell a story of the “Mutants” that form the House of M.
What really impressed me, outside of their flow and story telling technique in tracks like Superhero Shorties, The Initiative, Superman Ain’t My Name and In Your Mind – were their interludes. Their interludes, which are thought out and well executed, poke fun at the word swag (so many variations) and some of the mainstream radio trash (including shots at auto-tune). Very few albums include interludes anymore and to me, they’re important and help make a project well rounded and complete.
The House of M delivers a complete package of well-delivered hip-hop. I strongly suggest you check out House of M The Alternate Reality of …
