LISTED REVIEWS

Greyson & Jasun
Greyson & Jasun Sweatin Me Wet Atlantic • 1991

Sweatin me, nigga! This is some funky ass hip-hop. No one less than Slick Rick’s DJ/producer and former mentor of J-Zone, Vance Wright, handles the production knobs on this album. The rhymes are smooth, the beats are massive.

Tim Dog
Tim Dog Penecillin On Wax Columbia • 1991

The hardest muthafucker on the planet, Tim Dog, caught wreck in 1991. He smashed, not only NWA, but the whole world with this hardcore album.

Brand Nubian
Brand Nubian One For All Elektra • 1990

This album has it all. The funkiest beats with some of the illest breaks and incredible rhymes by Grand Puba.

The Chosen Ones
The Chosen Ones Enter The Lord Select • 1989

The combination of DJ Doc’s creative, multi-sampling production and Lord Shafiq’s flow is great and makes this album a must-have and the year 1989 even more legendary.

Brothers Like Outlaw
Brothers Like Outlaw The Oneness Of II Minds In Unison Gee Street • 1992

This is a very solid album and an absolute highlight in the history of UK hip-hop! Side note: K-Gee produced some tracks for British pop formation All Saints and is now currently workin on a solo album.

Lakim Shabazz
Lakim Shabazz The Lost Tribe Of Shabazz Tuff City • 1990

The combination of the pumpin funk beats, the fantastic horns and Lakim’s unique rapping style is superb. Lakim seemed more relaxed than on the first LP and totally rips the mic!

The New Style
The New Style Independent Leaders MCA • 1989

Ever heard of Naughty by Nature? You must have. If you know that the latter was formerly known as the New Style, you could imagine that this is some serious material. And yes, this album’s dope.

Brycon and Equal
Brycon and Equal World's Deadliest Assassin Topshelf • 2004

Brycon & DJ Equal bring you real live music with a passion for hip-hop and a hunger for recognition! Hip-hop the way it should be.

POSTED 12|27|2004
Kings Of Pressure
Kings Of Pressure Slang Teacher Next Plateau • 1989

All these tracks total a real soundscape and if we keep in mind that the music equipment in 1989 was negligible comparing to nowadays, the album deserves to be admired.

POSTED 12|25|2004
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Pete Rock & CL Smooth The Main Ingredient Elektra • 1994

CL drops the smoothest lines and raps with style, dignity and some sharp punch lines here and there.
