by Bond, featuring the Super Chron Flight BrothersEver since the Reavers' Terra Firma album dropped a couple of years back, I've been a huge fan of the Backwoodz crew. This mixtape was released at the same time as the Super Chron Flight Brothers' superb album 'Emergency Powers', but I never got my hands on it until this summer.
This disk shows off Bond's complicated, multi-layered approach to sampling and constructing complex backdrops to the SCF Brothers' equally complex rhymes.
As usual, everything that comes out of MC Billy Woods' mouth is pure truth. This is one rapper who deserves a much higher profile - his skills on the mic are unbelievable. I often find that I back up and listen to a verse a couple of times, just to catch everything he's said.
His partner, Priviledge, is a rapper who is really growing on me. I think his slightly hysterical cadence is a perfect counterpoint to Woods' laidback, laconic flow.
The songs on this disk deal with exactly what I've come to expect from the Reaver's crew: tight examinations of the current geopolitical situation around the world, and they make reference to
literature, philosophy, and the news with knowledge and foresight (Obama vs. Clinton is a nice example).
Tight guest shots from Marq Spekt, Vast Aire, Vordul Mega, and Megalon round out the package. There's a free-download album - Indonesia - due to come out in January, which will be followed by a physical album sometime after that.
