(4 out of 5 stars)
"recorded in possibly hip hop's finest year so far (1994), this album was put on ice for a decade.
"moon in cancer" and the title track both use beats that were also used on intro skits on showbiz and AG's first album, and the rest are in a similar style: minimal but extremely raw. The 3 mc's (one of which is mos def before he got more well known, the other two his brother asnd sister) are up-front on the mic, and not afraid to rap as loud as they can most of the time. The best track here for me is "You Can Run", with the most head-nodding beat on the album, and a nice breakdown where they sing the hook to sly stone's "Runnin" before the last verse. On this CD you also get a remix of My Kung Fu (also a great track) and what I believe is a J-Swift remix (uncredited in the inlay but Im pretty sure it's him) of the title track with some really slick drums on it. All in all good value and recommended for any hip hop fan."
