Released May 6th 2008 on the Secret Life of Sound Label in Chicago:
“When everyone was talking about this coast or that coast, Chicago hip-hop was brewing deep in the basements and warehouses, surround by house and jazz and blues. There is a rich history in this city, but more then just hip-hop, Chicago has soul. Deep in the walls and sidewalks, in every neighborhood, at every El stop, there is an ever-present soul that vibrates the windows and moves the youth.One man who obviously feels this soul is sample-based producer Ramon Norwood (a.k.a Radius). One his latest album, Neighborhood Suicide, he takes the listener on journey both through his life and through the city he loves. Sonically this album is both gorgeous and densely funky at the same time.” Gaper’s Block review
Radius is Chicago producer Ramon Norwood, the self-described “univerSoul boom bap 4th dimension sounds” who creates music mostly from his MPC digital sampler and who has been putting it down for the past seven years outta the Windy City, producing tracks there for local rappers. It is one of those great mood albums that you can become the soundtrack to your daily grind.” Bily Jam, Amoeba blog
