"The Syndicate Sniper, back on the prowl"!
"Old Skool" Ran-Dee | "Da' Bronx" | 08/26/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
""The Microphone King Donald D" from "Da' Boogie Down Bronx" has been puttin' in work since the '70's, way back when he was rocking Bronx parties and jams with "FUNK MACHINE" and "THE IMPERIAL 4". In the late '80's, he move to L.A. and got down with Ice-T's "Rhyme Syndicate". On this CD, Donald D never forgets his Bronx roots and keeps the old skool taditions alive with interludes (snippets from park jams in the Bx.) from the golden era of Hip-Hop (lucky I always treasured my old skool tapes!). And on "THE WAY IT USED 2 B" Don brings back that old skool flavor for '91. Except for a few cheesey, lovey-dovey tracks forced on by the label (trk.3, trk.6 & trk.13) this album is strictly hard-core, hard-hitting B-Boy bangers!"
