Urban Poets

Mcs From Another Dimension

added: 28 Jun 2006 // release date: 26 Jun 2006 // label: Big Teeth
reviewer: JST

This is the kind of approach we need more of in UK hip hop; intelligent without being overly clever, socially aware without being pious, confident without being confrontational. With more of an old school "produced" sound that eschews the current trend in glitch-hop in favour of melody and lyrical clarity, Urban Poets have churned out a mini opus that harks back to Michael Franti's Disposable Heroes. The futuristic rhymes and expert scratching lift what could have been just another competent but uninspiring UK hip hop tune to something worth paying attention to.
