Marley Marl and K-Def also produce the second album of Lords of the Underground, a year after their brilliant debut. The group from Raleigh, North Carolina, co-produces the project and brings Supreme C and Sah-B as the only guests of the edition.
The production is great, slightly lower than the previous album, but still very good: the guys decide to direct the sound towards funk, without giving up excellent jazzy samples (and placing some accessible synths in the title track). The drum is dynamic, sometimes midtempo, always good, and faithfully supports the bars of the group, which recites simple lyrics with a slow and flowing rapping style: they don't seem overly inspired and their delivery sounds light-hearted, unwilling, calm. The best songs are all concentrated in the first fresh part, while the second is a bit forgettable: composed of 48 minutes, the album, distributed by EMI via Pendulum, reaches the top 60 on the Billboard 200 and the top 20 among rap records. Recommended for East Coast fans.
Rating: 7/10.
