Free Music Review: West Coast Group With East Coast Flavor (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
It took me a minute to get a hold of this album here, due to the fact that it is out of print. This group The BUMS were comming out of Oakland and had a up-hill battle making the names for themselves, due to the fact that other groups such as The Dangerous Crew, The Hieroglyphics, Digital Underground, and others have already set the bar. Not many people speak of The BUMS when it comes to west coast rap (let alone The Bay Area), because they style was far from the west coast (their choice of production didn't have those whiny synths or popular Parlament samples that helped built the west coast). In my opinion, it was more like the east. And probably with so much drama that was cooking between both coasts at the time this album was released (Summer '95), the majority of the people on the east coast didn't want to hear this album either.
This album here is pretty great. D-Wyse and E-Vocalist are two great emcees, and their flow is pretty dope. I believe their single was "Elevation (Free My Mind)", and if that was the case, their flow was real strong. "Wreck Your Ears (Can Do)" is another great track that has a nice Rakim sample (not many rappers on the west relied on vocal samples, so that was unique for them to do that). Times the production switches up to a sort of jazzy flavor like "Let The Music Take Your Mind" and the heavy bass line sound "6 Figures And Up". The only guest I know on this album is Mystic (dope female artist, check her solo Cuts for Luck and Scars for Freedom). The last two tracks are great closers. "Can You Do Without?" shows an east coast style, and "Who Gives You The Right?" is a nice spoken word poem by E-Vocalist.
When you really look at it, Lyfe 'N' Tyme probably had came out at the wrong time when no one was listening. If anyone was expecting any west coast style, don't look for it here, because you won't be able to find it. It's still underrated and hard to access due to it being out of print. If you can, check it out. Peace.
