KID
KOALA
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Hailing from Montreal, the super fast dj Kid Koala emerges from the underground and
releases his first album. Carpal Tunnel Sydrome is not the type of album you
listen to at a party or something... It's more experimental than a complete project.
However, that doesn't mean it sucks. Actually, to put it bluntly, it's fuckin awesome. Kid
Koala pulls of some complicated and funky scratches and his huge, intricate and sometimes
hilarious-sounding beats are sure to make heads nod. Plus, as if the music wasn't enough,
he throws in a cool comic sketch drawn by the man himself. I love this album, and if
you're into scratch dj's and you'd like to hear an example of a great masterpiece, pick up
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome right away.

JURASSIC 5
QUALITY CONTROL Straight
'outta L.A, Jurassic 5 is a ensemble of 4 MCs - Chali 2NA, Marc 7, Akil and Zaakir... and
2 DJs - Numark and Cut Chemist. So what if they can't count? Quality Control is
their second release following their '97 self-titled release. There are many good songs on
this well put together album, but most memorable is Quality Control. Deft lyrical
verses and pounding hip-hop beats are what makes this album a good one. Jurassic 5 aren't
your average group talking about killing people and whatnot... their lyrical skill is what
makes them special. If you're into hip-hop, buy this album, It's really tight.

DE
LA SOUL
ART OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: MOSAIC THUMP
This New York hip-hop crew are at it again with their latest release, Art
Official Intelligence. This album is really good and there are many notable tracks. My
Writes featuring California rappers Xzibit and Tash is a head-boppin' hit
with some really nice effects. I.C Y'all featuring the infamous Busta Rhymes is
another nice track. Busta Rhymes lays down some nice rhymes and makes the song complete. Squat
featuring Ad Rock and Mike D of the Beastie Boys is a really phat song with an old-school
flavor to it. A nice chorus and some funky scratching make it an all-round nice joint.
Last but not least, the first hit off the album, Oooh featuring Redman is
probably my favourite. Redman makes this track cool with his crazy sounding voice and he
adds an unmistakable Jersey a.k.a 'Brick City' attitude to it.
All-In-All this is honestly a really good album.10/10 |

LYRICIST
LOUNGE 2 This
album is packed with hit after hit... This is probably my favourite album right now. The
songs i'm feeling mostly are 'Oh No' featuring Mos Def, Pharoahe Monche and Nate Dogg,
'Ms. Fat Booty 2' featuring Mos Def and Ghostface Killah, 'Legendary Street Team'
featuring M.O.P. and Kool G Rap, and 'Right and Exact' featuring Dilated Peoples. If you
love hip-hop, and who doesn't, shit, you should buy this album right now!!

M.O.P.
WARRIORZ The
roudy, loud-mouthed group representin Brooklyn is back! Holy shit this album is phat!...
'Ante Up' was the first single and the ultimate club anthem. My personal favourite 'Cold
As Ice' combines an old disco classic with a bangin' new beat to make an amazing joint.
This is an undoubtable hit album.....
