Free Music Notes for Nia

Free Music Review: One of the Best LP's I ever bought!
Hit: 5 Stars

What can I say other than this is one of the best albums out there. The production was amazing, my head was noddin w/every single beat. Gift of Gab has one of my favorite flows from any MC out there. To me, its like a mixture of Big Pun's breathless-like flow combined w/ Jay-Z's Rhythmic Wordplay. Hands down is it one of the best records from the west? Nah.... Its One of the Best records in Hip Hop!!!

Nia Poster

With each release, Blackalicious expand the definition of hip-hop to suit themselves. In the capable hands of MC Gift of Gab, one of the best in the business, a rhyme can be personal, like a whisper from a close friend. Or it can be a searing battle rap. On Nia, producer Chief Xcel creates rhythms that burst with life: everything from snaky Middle Eastern beats to thundering bass lines. --Lizz Mendez Berry
With Nia, Blackalicious hit their stride as leaders of the hip-hop true school. The Sacramento-based duo of producer/DJ Chief Xcel and lyricist The Gift of Gab has been creating luscious, intelligent music since they started out in 1994, and Nia shows them at their best. Gab's rhyming skills are supreme, ranging from evocative storytelling about fame and misfortune ("Deception") to rapped reflections on the state of his art ("Shallow Days") and scathing straight spitting ("Trouble"). A true master of ceremonies, Gab keeps it right by grounding his lyrics in his own experience, preventing his antiestablishment message from getting boring. On the musical front, Xcel's beats fit Gab's wordplay like a glove. They range from the funky, caffeinated drum stutters of "Fabulous Ones," to knowing piano-laced patterns (on the genius "Deception") and slinky, serpentine, Middle Eastern styles ("Smithzonian Institute of Rhyme"). Nia is honest music: from Xcel's carefully stitched-together, relentlessly inventive beats, to Gab's personal poetics. This is soul food for your ears. --Lizz Mendez Berry
First full length album from hip-hop supergroup featuring Lateef, Lyrics Born of Latyrx and DJ Shadow. 19 tracks. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.
