Yukon Black — Addiction Services


Yukon Black's album is the only one released by the Beggas members that doesn't even have a rhythm produced by the group's beatsmith, Bolo's Kitchen. The tape is completely self-produced, and features the other members of the group as guests, with a spot each for Long Axe, Begga Ooh, Dragonfly and Bolo's Kitchen (uncredited). The set put together by Yukon Black is generic, these are some typical rhythms of the mid-nineties scene, easily forgotten: even when there's a captivating sample, like in "Take Me", somehow the delivery drags the track towards mediocrity. This is the creme until the album ends with "Brutal Truth". Two avoidable bonus tracks follow, the latter featuring the second uncredited appearance of Bolo's Kitchen. Released by Chambermusik and Hidden Aspects Music, it's not an essential tape.
