Because I’m super cool (I’m not), I’ve had this EP in my possession since last summer. Theo, who also calls Rhode Island home, shot it over to me for review when he and producer $port were looking to present it as the name Chris Connery. Apparently they dropped that name for You Can’t Do That On Television, but all the music remains the same. Oh, and the music? Friggin’ fantastic. I cannot say enough how much Theo has grown as an MC over the past few years, with some tracks on here just being flat-out exercises in how to rap. It’s all clean, too, so feel free to blast this in the vicinity of children without feeling the need to shout EARMUFFS every so often. Enjoy. Props to DJ Booth on presenting this fine product, too.

For this installment of Under The Radar, I have to feature two of my favorite artists who seem to excel even more when working together: Theo Martins and $port. They paired up to form Chris Connery — an ode to DJ Premier (first name Chris) and actor Sean Connery — and put together the EP You Can’t Do To That On Television, an ode itself to the old school Nickelodeon show. That EP was set to drop last fall but it was pushed back when Hall of Justus showed interest. While we’re waiting for that to drop, here’s a track from the duo we didn’t get to post when it first came around. It’s Theo doin’ the damn thing over some ’94-era RZA-type-shit. Enjoy.
