Welcome to the world of The Lenzmen, a dimension somewhere between the deserted Company Flow galaxy and the Cannibal Ox milky way, close to the planet of Dr Octagon, and surrounded by The Atoms Family’s atmosphere.

Two promising emcees/producers who understand the craft of makin good music, and who are able to have fun in makin it, an essential rule that already dates from the early days of hip-hop but still a number one condition for a good album. If you’re into feel-good beats which you can mesmerize to, if you like your snares clean and neck-snappin and if you like your hip-hop with a big bowl of soul samples, then this is definitely something for you.

Let it be clear; this album is about girls, girls, girls and havin fun. And how refreshing it is, to hear an album with nuthin but funny punch lines and dope, boom bap beats, prepared by today's most boom bappest of producers Apathy, Celph Titled and JJ Brown.

Both Pep and Dumi kick easy but thorough lyrics, with fresh punchlines, talkin sense and wisdom, bringing back the era of when MC’s had something to say without losing their sense of humour. 'We do this for the love of it', they immediately admit in the opening song 'For The Love Revisited'

Eight producers for eleven songs, this means a wide variety of sounds. You’ll find jazz inspired tracks, up-tempo ('Run Can-U Run'), down-tempo songs as well as neck-snappers.

With 'April January', we’ve tumbled in a world of various sounds, feelings, worlds ànd seasons. We’re taken on a journey through spring, summer, fall and winter, through Africa, a big part of Asia, over the Southern parts of Europe back to Chicago.

Thaione's beats are strongly jazz inspired, very musical and relive different kind of moods. Where other producers fail to freshen up their style and flip different kinds of beats, Thaione uses a wide range of instruments.

At the time, B-Boy Records had top acts like BDP, Coldcrush Brothers and JVC Force, but in the shadow of KRS, Curt Cazal and co there was this group called Tall, Dark & Handsome. Mr Delirious KD, Chill, Big Pooh and DJ Kool Money Ray are from the Westside of the Boogie Down Bronx and were discovered by DJ Red Alert.

At the end of hip-hop’s most important decennia, Terrell Davis from NY took us on a trip to the future together with his crew The Houserockers. A year before he made a little buzz with the title song of the record, of which the video clip is low-budgetly legendary (a kindervoiture actually catches fire!).

Man, if we had to sum up all the dope one-liners used in this album we’d need a whole webpage or maybe start a fanzine because these lyrics are superb! Oops here goes another one: 'show me the finest girl in any motion picture and I'll show you a man who is tired of sleeping with her'.
