RADIx x Statik Selektah — Say Yes


Collaborative album between hip-hop duo RADIx and producer Statik Selektah. Massachusetts rappers Ja'Quaine "Quite Nyce" Coe and Brian "SEEK" Seekins are on their sixth studio album, while Lawrence's producer is on studio album number fifteen. The rhythms chosen by Statik are more hardcore, heavy and bouncy than usual, he chooses a sound that's close to hard rock and to the alternative boom bap, risking to slip continuously: his rhythm in "Already Know" is light, mediocre and simplistic, the duo's gray rapping doesn't help. The record is quite weak, one of the weakest in Statik career, because his sluggish production is joined by questionable rapping: Quite Nyce and SEEK just don't know how to rap, they try various delivery combinations and all of them suck: there's nothing to note either when they've a hardcore style or when they spit bars slower, it's a record lacking in energy and inspiration. They almost seem contractually bound to do this, neither title nor cover are done decently. Not recommended.
