Fresh Sound from the New York underground

Although that cover looks more like a psychedelic rock record from the 70s, Underlying this is pure rap, how to not more often often gets him today to ears. Producer Lodeck and MC Omega One place before an album here that only seems like classic sample-based Boom Bap bursting. The sound is generally rather reduced. based primarily on classic drum sounds and radio samples on hi-hat fidgeting and handclap beats à la Dirty South is thankfully waived. It can be found as well as uptempo numbers, such as "Wipe Out Zone" or "Still Cambodia", for whose beat is a old school synths helped himself.
The CD is by no means an attempt to somehow sound "retro" or for better times. Innovation will not find here, but good, honest and timeless fresh sounding rap.
Not all tracks are absolute Burner, but also the rare, weaker titles are definitely in order. Only Omega Ones voice does not please me, here and there shines even his Russian accent through. Kudos: Considering that the MC came to America with only 13 years, he speaks fantastic English and convinces with a flow, which can be more than excellent.

For me one of the best albums from 2008 to now. Highlight: "Titanium" with a dark, driving beat, and a fantastic, rapped by Karniege Hook.
