Haas G and Kool Kim debut with an album from Staten Island, under the name of UMC's. Their profile is very different compared to his hip-hop mates who are in the '91 class with it: it doesn't present swearing or obscenity, it's not aggressive, it's not hardcore, it's not dirty, it's not bad or misogynist, it's positive, clean, intelligent, fresh, offers lyrics that are a little fun, a little serious, always with a positive mood, delivering bars with a relaxed, not extraordinary or exceptional rapping style, the style of this duo is simple, they adapt to the rhythms, their delivery without energy is functional to the excellent beats. The production is in fact the driving part of the disk, with cool relaxed jazzy-funky rhythms, excellent jazz samples, which form a coherent, solid and fun album, rap jazz with positive vibes. As well as the next, this widely undervalued album goes unnoticed, unjustly unnoticed, and after 1994 leads these two boys to take different directions, while remaining in hip-hop: at the end of the two thousand years, Kool Kim changes his name and returns to the scene as NYOil, with a darker character, while Haas G decides to build a career as a producer and puts his beats at the service of Wu Tang's solo albums.
Rating: 7/10.
