Under Begga Clan Music and Hidden Aspects Music, Begga Ohh brings out the most erratic and less successful solo record of the four released during the 2005/06 season by the Wu Tang Killa Bees The Beggaz group.
In its most inspired moments, the tape manages to hold up to the quality offered by all the other rappers in the group in their solo tapes, nevertheless, the low points are many, too many, practically half an album isn't pleasant and this isn't good in a LP of this brevity. "Rusty Nails" is fine, it has an eerie and very gloomy mood with those wicked piano keys and strings plotting in the dark in the background, the rapping of Begga Ohh and Dragonfly runs smooth as oil.
The rest of the album crumples on the rapper's not fully inspired style and his questionable choices behind the keyboards, the random sounds of "Sound da Same" come totally wacky after two honest beats, and a similar speech can be made for "Yeah". At times, it may seem that Bolo Gah isn't engaging in creating these rhythms, instead, as he does in the other Beggaz solo records (Long Axe's "Fed Ex / Fed Up"; Dragonfly's "Priceless"; the whole Black Lotus tape), also in this CD the producer of the group offers a gem: "Cereal" is the moment of maximum effort of this project, rough scratches, celestial loop that seems to be a direct homage to Edda Dell'Orso, concentrated rapping by Begga Ohh who for a mere ninety seconds carries on the track well.
Putting together all of Beggaz's top songs comes out a short EP that can rival some of Killa Beez's tightest efforts, that doesn't elevate this record to mandatory listening for fans of the Wu universe.
