Dueling Experts — DE2: Sand the Floor


I don't recommend listening to it. Almost a year after the first tape, the Dueling Experts are back with a second product, which looks like it's simply a victory lap. Fifteen tracks, half an hour of listening. Recognize Ali and Verbal Kent keep swapping bars really believing it, Lord Beatjitzu's rhythms don't sound as good as in January. In fact, they come from different periods, to make the debut album Verbal Kent held a Billyjitzu set for a few years waiting to understand how and when to use it, while this second record has more recent rhythms. There's nothing really wrong with these fifteen or the hardcore rap of the two emcees, the music is just there with no replay value or anything noteworthy. 6/10.
