Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Gunslinguz — We All We Gott


Unique LP by Gunslinguz, a New York duo composed of Bigg Cy and Bigg Trigg aka Trigga. The project is an evolution of Coney Island Gankstas, their group formed with Dr. Quick Fingers and precedes the following steps The Massive (Trigga, Naisher and Pearl; only one nowhere to be found single released with Protect Ya Neck Records, "Keep It Movin") and MMO (Trigga, Naisher aka Naisha, Pearl Handles, Itchy Fingas Sha and Bam-Bam). In some ways, this duo is affiliated with the Wu-Tang, meaning is part of the Killa Beez universe. The disc consists of fifteen tracks, four skits, almost all over four minutes for a total of over an hour of material. It's an average disk, the rhythms of DJ Ready Red and E-Money return an East Coast sound in the norm for the time, with hard drum and a tight boom bap. The Michael Jackson sample in "Lady in My Life" is interesting. Even more interesting is the fact that "One Mississippi" is a posse with friends of the duo, some of whom will be part of MMO later, and with Big Ruck aka Ruck aka Sean Price. Ultimately, it's a discreet and non-essential record. 6/10.
