Arrebenta De Novo - Pimenta N'Ativa

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...This double cd set is excellent, in fact it's probably the best one around at the moment ! CD One is trance, mixed by Hyperlogic - Featuring most of the big time trance anthems around at the moment . . . . But the real gem of the album is CD two : Hard House, mixed by the Tidy Boys (Yes, Of none other than Tidy Trax - The UK Hard House Master Label - If you don't believe me check out www.tidytrax.co.uk) Featuring tracks by Fergie, Lisa Lashes, Tony De Vit, Lock N Load and etc etc, this album HAS to be bought NOW!...

Advantages: Brillant production, great beats and big name collaborations
Disadvantages: Lacks the timeless originally of "Colours"

...The follow up to the drum and bass classic "Colours", "Kaos" is British DJ and producer Adam F's foray into the world of hip hop. The album includes collaborations with some of the biggest names in the US scene including Redman, LL Cool J, De La Soul and Pharoah Monch. Opener "Smash Sumthin' " (featuring the aforementioned Redman) is a pounding track which got heavy rotation in the clubs and sets the tone for first half of the album.

"See them Cubans don't care what y'all n!gg*z do Colombians never ran with your crew Why you acting all spicy and sheisty The only Italians you knew was ices, n!gg*z price me" This remix is punchy, catchy and worth a listen. You will find a slow march coming from the bass and the snares keep a quick pace with the lyrics. Pos and Dove have the voice to pull in the anger. Yankee B, the Jamaican born New York rapper finishes the groove out with some fast paced rips. This is one remix that is actually better than the original. That is not common. I will rip this one too. Stakes... Read review
