Synopsis

Album Description
After a five year hiatus, the Sharpshooters return with Twice As Nice, the group's first release since the critical acclaim garnered by their groundbreaking Buck the Saw and Choked Up LPs. This is truly a monster of an LP with 29 tracks in total (14 new tunes married with 15 interlude teasers) which were mixed at Supreme's crib and then mastered at the world famous FREQ. mastering studios. Showing all the hallmarks of pure genius, Twice As Nice is a result of countless hours of beat digging for obscure samples, many cups of coffee and some late night studio sessions causing much havoc with Supreme's neighbors. Sharpshooters are being compared with the likes of: Yesterdays New Quintet, Beatnuts, Jaffa, Portishead, Creators and other respectable groups in this genre. Don't sleep on this one!!!!
 

CD Reviews

The future of hip-hop
Craig Clarke | New England | 06/06/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I regret that I had never heard the music of the Sharpshooters until their new album came up on one of RealOne's CD Listening Parties. Luckily, now I have and I can spread the word on to you. For a sample, their song "Japanese Mathematics"--which is both representative of the work on Twice as Nice and at the same time really isn't--is available for download. Sharpshooters are DJ Sureshot and Mr Supreme from Seattle, Washington: two guys with massive record collections and terrific ears for songcraft. Twice as Nice consists of 29 tracks, fourteen of which are full-length songs and the other fifteen are interludes (including an intro and outro) inserted inbetween as a sort of "palate cleanser" to get you ready for the next track. After my first listen, I couldn't get enough of Twice as Nice and have listened to at least a little bit of the Sharpshooters masterwork every day since. Smooth samples mixed with downtempo beats and live instrumentation makes for a complete experience of soothing, energizing hip-hop. I never really knew that hip-hop consisted of something other than rap, and if this is hip-hop's future, we've all got a lot to look forward to."
