38 Spesh is helping Rochester to emerge in the underground hip-hop scene: the latest to see the light is Street Justice, which debuts this studio album entirely produced by Spesh.
The first song boasts a triumphal production, jazzy boom bap, with lean drum and good samples, rhythm left to breathe, then slow smooth delivery of Street Justice, Planet Asia closes on the third verse, with his slow and flowing style. 38 Spesh takes to the field for "Honor and Glory": jazzy bap boom, slow drum, good sample, Street Justice slow smooth delivery, sung hook. The host and producer of the tape closes the joint with a slow and smooth delivery. It follows an average jazzy beat, with decent delivery and a sung hook. "No Unity" is another solo piece of Street Justice, on good jazzy rhythm and slow pounding and tight drumming, the guy continues to do pretty well on his own.
Eto strengthens and cements the project in the fifth cut: jazzy boom bap with dark samples, skinny slow and tight drum machine, Street Justice slow flowing syncopated delivery, closes Eto with a similar style. "Respect the Hustle" is the rapper's latest solo track, with jazzy beats, good dark samples and a heavy, hard drum machine. Che Noir is the protagonist of the last two songs: in "Street Flutes" there's a splendid flute sample that gives value to the jazzy rhythm of 38 Spesh, slow and light drum, syncopated slow velvet delivery of Street Justice, then Che Noir closes the song with a smooth, slow, dope flow. The girl also sets a tone for the final song: splendid oriental female soulful sample, jazzy boom bap, excellent samples, slow syncopated skinny drum, opens Che Noir with a smooth and lively delivery, brilliant, last verse of the tape to Street Justice.
24 minutes in 8 short tracks. Together with the guests, Street Justice is better than in the solo songs, also because they're all good guests. To be his debut it's definitely a job well-done, free of blunders. Recommended for Empire State and East Coast rap fans.
Highlights: "Hood Player", "Don't Believe Em", "Street Flutes", "Long Live the Real".
Rating: 7/10.
