Free Music Notes for Monkey Barz
Free Music Review: Solo debut is tight - 4.5 stars
Hit: 4 Stars
Sean Price (a.k.a. Ruck - one half of the group Heltah Skeltah) drops his solo debut, and it's a good one. I admit I'm not up to par with much of the Boot Camp Click outside a few songs by Buckshot, Heltah Skeltah, and Smif N Wessun, but I heard a lot of good things about Price, so I checked out his "Jesus Price Supastar" album and was highly impressed so I decicded to pick this one up as well. This might be slightly better than "Jesus Price Supastar" (which I'd also give 4.5 stars). With 16 songs, you get 4 that are ok, and the rest are good, a couple being real good. Guests are on a little over half the songs and are mostly his Boot Camp Click cronies. Production is decent. Agallah, Ty Deals, and Khrysis each do 2 songs, and Kleph Dollaz, MoSS, Phat Babyz Tete, 9th Wonder, PF Cuttin, Tone Mason, Dub Z, Ayatollah and Edward Maximillion each do 1 song. A nice album for fans of underground hip-hop to check out.

Free Music Review: NYce one...
Hit: 4 Stars
i think to truly appreciate this album you'd have to follow "nocturnal" and "magnum force"... now i know what some of you are thinking, "why do hella people keep refering to the "ruck and rock albums"? ... because they're tight work together... don't get me wrong, these two mc's are right on point by themselves but they do major damage together... anyways, sean p comes out with his vibe that he is known for... but i'll be a bit too real, for me i only like almost every other track but i really listen to like 5 tracks on this album... but i'm biased because i followed them since nocturnal, even though i'm from the west coast i always gave some love to some east coast rhymes... in the end, i think he coulda came out a bit more better, but that's why the 4 stars... Free Music Review: Consistent solo debut from Bootcamp alum
Hit: 3 Stars
I'll be honest. I just like the way Ruck says 'Sean Peeee.'
But more than that, I've been a big BCC fan for quite a while. And as someone who generally judges Bootcamp-affiliated albums by how many Beatminerz song they have, this is a pleasant surprise.
There are no Beatminerz songs on here, but the album is solid musically, with a variety of producers from 9th Wonder to Khrysis to P.F. Cuttin', and the vibe is definitely soulful.
Soul samples wail over the one-two punch beats of 'One Two Y'all' and 'Onion Head.' Those are followed by the faux-Pharrell bounce of 'Fake Neptune,' which doesn't appear to be a dis record, so I'm a little confused by the title, but whatever; the beat is hot.
The middle third of the album slows down a little by way of a few lackluster beats, but snaps back into action with a triple string-heavy trio of bangers, 'I Love You (B****),' 'Bye Bye,' which has a nice Buckshot verse and 'Spliff N Wessun," which doesn't have Tek or Steele but does feature a nice verse from Rustee Juxx.
The title track is my joint, though... just some low bass, heavy drums and monkey screeches.
Ruck's flow is at its best when it's paired with Rock as part of Heltah Skeltah, but like I said before, for a Beatminerz-free record, 'Monkey Barz' is pretty impressive.
Free Music Review: It grows on you slowly
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is very good...and sean price always leaves you wanting to hear more after each track is over...some of the beats are hot..and some beats take a lill time to get used to...but all in all it's a hot album
The stuff he says is ridiculous and unheard of, and he puts it nice with beats...can't wait for the next one
Free Music Review: Boot Camp Click Stand Up!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Sean Price a.k.a Ruck of Heltah Skeltah steps out the shadow of his partner Rock with stunning results. The beats go downe smooth and bars are like a punch to the chest. He tackles lots of street subject whith a bad guy like swager. Matters like how he's going to shoot you and punch your bi*ch, stealing chains and countless other topics. It's a good mix with the soulfull beats, belive it or not. I only recomond this CD for BCC fans or if you like hardcore raps with a a easy going back drops.
