KRS-One — Street Light: First Edition


This mixtape of sorts is solo work number 22 for KRS-One. It doesn't credit guests, and boasts a production created by Jesse West, DJ Static, Mad Lion, Mlody, Ollie, KPrymeTheJager, DJ B.Original and Enrico Wolf. The rapper spits in a more concentrated way than in recent years, on a set of boom bap rhythms that finally assist him. For the first time in the last fifteen years, there isn't a really weak beat and Parker travels worthily for about forty minutes split across twelve tracks. Self-published, it's a good tape, although still not essential in his vast discography. 6/10.
