KMC is the acronym for Kaotic Minds Corruptin, West Coast Los Angeles hip-hop trio formed by the MCs Tee the OG & Rocc the Jock, with DJ Poison Ivey in production. This group from Santa Ana, California, deals with Priority Records. The rhythms are skeletal, simplistic and tight (always), minimal, with a skinny and heavy drum machine, trivial hooks and mainly braggadocio lyrics with extravagant references on animals, and some socio-conscious deviations ("Living in the Ghetto", "The Streets Are the Battlefield"), delivered with a syncopated and irregular style, urgent when the rhythm requires it. This effort is quite decent and focused on dark elements (ESG's "UFO" is the only noteworthy sample used for "Terrifying Tracks"), however, it's easily obscured by the other gangsta acts of the top riders. 6/10.
