Finally, some healthy '93 East Coast hip-hop! Seriously, the jazzy sound promoted by Native Tongues and Pete Rock is starting to saturate the game and some lesser artists from South and West Coast don't want to miss the commercial train of glory and have plunged into the adventure of the jazzy boom bap too.
The speech is different for Brokin English Klik, but not so different: being from New York, the production is canned jazzy, but the bars are a sort of banal mocking of the East Coast conscious and the West Coast gangsta mixed together in a random tasteless mush. This hip-hop duo consisting of Jean "The Mad Scientist Phase" Jasmin (also the main producer) and J "Mack 10" Mackey (not that Mack 10), comes up with a decent twelve-track project, with accessible production, honest drum, generic lyrics and a flowing or cumbersome delivery style depending on the tracks. The disc is released by Wild Pitch, with EMI / Capitol distribution, but it doesn't attract a lot of public: when the chosen elements turn in their favor and there's some bridge / sample better than usual, you may get the best tracks, however there's the real possibility that after the tenth minute you lose attention in listening. Not recommended.
Rating: 6/10.
