The first half collects the five sought after tracks from the much whispered of Vla Hemia (MC Vinch Kashmir and Siamese Sisters). Think Golden Age Hip-Hop (Blowout Comb, Midnight Marauders, Juggaknots EP) without a retro-wish to be fresh in '94. These tracks lack the stale same-ness of much of mainstream boom-bap. Electric iLL is a sound for sore ears. Recruiting Soul-Junk's Galaxalag and Slo-Ro for phoned in (literally) raps and NY's JSRockit, who delivers a hilariously whimsical verse on "Non-Moley Yease", the husband-half of the fantastical Viva Voce, Kevin Robinson lets his freak flag fly. On tracks like "Nurban Gowns" he duets with a Speak-N-Spell, and constructs lunchtray turntablism, elsewhere live saw and drumkit breaks collide and fedback guitars mask unwholesome lyrical patterns. Not to be missed.]]> 631FC06E-4D24-4F48-983F-C99355789B54.jpg
