Debut album for Pamela "Makeba Mooncycle" Wilder. The cover features tones similar to those that will use of her brother Prodigal Sunn for that of his debut album the following year. The tape consists of eight tracks, including three skits, for a total of just over twenty minutes. Most of the content is braggadocio with some frayed socio-conscious lines and stanzas, Makeba has a good vocals and competent rapping style and the production is simple, honest samples and a hard, skeletal drum that hits every track. That said, neither the content nor the music is ever surprising, the tape will not convert you into a fan of the artist, who has been on the circuit since the early nineties. It's published via Nyamu and Chambermusik, the historic label linked to Wu-Tang Killa Beez. 6/10.
