Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Young Lo — Real Dealizm


Debut for Carlos "Young Lo" Montez Warren of Alkatraz Syndicate, hip-hop crew from Memphis. Al Kapone, C-Rocka, Bobby G, Winky D, Deon, Katrice, 1st Degree, C-9, GK, Kocaine Wayne, Taylor Boy, Da Villain, Lil' Thugsta and Yo Lynch participate in the project. The tape is entirely produced by Young Lo and Dr. J, which have a tendency to stretch the synthesizers to the point of annoyance, almost canceling out the melody, a problem in these seventy minutes. Most of the songs are over five minutes long, including the obligatory final posse that hits eight over heavy, messy production that mixes a dozen different sounds to create the beat. Originally distributed by S.O.H., in 2022 it obtained a reprint from the Italian Armabillion and another from the Belgian SouthWest Enterprise. 4/10.
