Jedi Mind’s music is full of emotions, in lyrics as well as in beats. Vinnie Paz spits aggression and is ready to take over: 'we coming for blood!'.

Ali Dee ends the album on the rough tip with the steamin 'Stompin Committee' with Das Efx-like rhymes over buckwild (the adjective, not the producer!) drums.

The Genius rips the mic over some of the earliest production of the Prince Rakeem (who’s definitely inspired by Marley Marl) and Easy Mo Bee. Expect no Wu-Tang joints but straight, funky rough mid-school hip-hop.

This album is one of the many fantastic hip-hop albums that came outta Philadelphia; drop the needle on this one and the temperature will make ya girls go strippin…

Maestro Fresh Wes isn’t a double bass player like the cover suggests, he’s one hell of an MC. From where??? straight outta Canada. Naaah, this kid…? Yep, he’s from Canada!

Where’s this gonna end? On the MTV Awards right between Chrisitina Aguilera and J Lo, maybe? CPF says it’s a 2004 highlight!

This album is not gold but it’s definitely a must for hip-hop addicts who love that early 90’s vibe and searchin for collector’s items.

The production is surprisingly fresh: nice organ and horn loops over slow drums and groovy bass lines. Things become clearer when looking at the production credits: three cuts by 'beat smiths extraordinaire' The Beatnuts and two by T-Ray.

'Freddie Foxxx Is Here' is a fresh mix of funky tracks, smooth love songs and rugged, up-tempo beats. Of all the albums Freddie (and Bumpy) made, this is definitely the most funkiest one.

Production wise, this album is top class, not very surprising if you know that Nu-Sounds is affiliated with Jazzy Jay, executive producer of the album and one of the illest beat technicians of the late 80’s.
