In 1989, the two half-brothers Paul "DJ Paul" Beauregard & Ricky "Lord Infamous" Dunigan form the group The Serial Killaz, however it takes three years before they publish their first magnificent, still unknown and obscure effort, "Portrait of a Serial Killa", EP consisting of three tracks with the production of DJ Paul and the rapping of Lord Infamous. They record their tapes between schools and shops in their neighborhood. These three tracks are horrorcore and gangsta straight from Memphis, Tennessee. It opens up an excellent tense, dark, lo-fi rhythm with sparse and tight drum machine, good syncopated slow and disturbing delivery of the MC. Lord Infamous brings out a similar flow for the second cut, always thin and dark, excellent rhythm by DJ Paul. Closes "Crazy Ass Nigga", simple skeletal rhythm, with dark and dystopian piano / organ keys, tight and poor drum machine, slow delivery of Lord Infamous.
Rating: 7/10.
