LISTED REVIEWS
The Avengers’ underground sound and Maylay’s down-to-earth lyricism go hand in hand and once again, it is proven that overseas collabos is the success formula of the year!

The First Priority compilation consists of tracks that didn’t appear on the artist’s albums: exclusive dope material. Track by track is superb King of Chill production.

It’s great to see that the super producer is givin us a piece of his musical preferences on this mix CD. It’s a great blend of old school tracks, soul, remixes, instrumentals and a new song.

The album is a mix of humour with a blend of social and political criticism ('what did you say about Lumumba?') over funky ass breaks. 13 songs of hip-hop at it’s purest and 3 skits of stand-up comedy.

The production can stand the test of time but the album’s lyricism, that was supposed to sound hardcore, lost its credibility: 'don’t touch my Grammy, pay attention when I’m talking or catch an eye jammie!' Anyway, it’s funny and it leaves this album with a cult status that’s impeccable.

'Hip Hop Blues' has Tone talking about his first steps in the music biz: 'Makin tapes with my brother T La Rock'. The kid got his skillz from somewhere!

The record is less gangsta rap than you’d expect, the main issues that are dealt with through the songs are racism and religion. The two rappers claim a better understanding between Jews and Blacks, cultural identity and ridicule the Ku-Klux Klan.

Speaking of Lord Quas, the vocals on this album are pretty helium-sized as well. The more I play this album the better it gets…it’s mad funky like only the West could bump it back in the days.

This album is a mix of nasty funk break beats, quality hip-house and smooth relaxed songs.

This album is a must but a pain-in-da-butt to find!
