Qwel & Maker 'Owl'
Drops September 14, 2010
For their 3rd full-length album titled Owl (Galapagos4, 2010), Qwel & Maker’s creative partnership has gone from ‘occcasional collaboration’ to a full-fledged endeavor and the results are loud, clear, and undeniable.
Once described by Rolling Stone as having “stark, biographical songs that occupy the same bleak terrain as Francis Bacon paintings or The Dark Knight,” the Chicagobased duo has matured substantially since the release of their 2009 sophomore LP and continually raise the bar with their brand of raw, unadulterated, underground Hip-Hop.
“The Owl watches and grows wiser,” explains Maker. “As we became more aware of our environment, we gained new perspectives. This album is our way of reconnecting with everything that surrounds us.”

wobei die neuen Sachen sicher einsteigerfreundlicher sind als die alten 
würde mit the new wine oder so be it anfangen. freezerburner ist mMn definitiv die schlechteste von den vieren. Der zweite Artist bei den qwel alben ist übrigens der jeweilige Producer, die alben sind also jeweils von einem produzenten durchgehen produziert, was eine schön in sich stimmige und passende Sound Kulisse bringt.
