Free Music Notes for Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. 1
Free Music Review: Short Acid Jazz Mixed With Some Hip Hop (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
Not too often, we hear bands colab with many hip hop artists. On albums like Heavy Rhyme Experience, we get a blend of instuments with some astounding vocals to come together on to one album. Brand New Heavies, I've only heard of them once which was on a song with The Main Source, which appears on this album. To be honest, I really don't know too much about this group, except N'Dea Davenport (ATL baby!) was in the group, and later left, and then rejoined. But outside of that information, that's all I know about the group.
Here on this album, Brand New Heavies, bring in some popular artists that were peaking around 1991/1992. Artists like Guru, Black Sheep, Masta Ace, and others bring their A game to this album. "Bonafied Funk" with The Main Source, already appears on their Breaking Atoms if you have any of the reissues. Guru from Gangstarr drops in for the solid "It's Getting Hectic". Grand Puba colabs for the nice "Who Makes The Loot" which appears on his Reel to Reel. My most favorited track is the next one, Masta Ace's colab "Wake Me When I'm Dead", about artists crossing over in hip hop. The next track, "Jump 'n' Move" with Jamalski, has a reggae bouncy touch which sounds okay. Another standout would be the colab with Kool G. Rap with "Death Threat" which is amazing. The Black Sheep colab track "State Of Yo" is another banger that is highly enjoyable. Ed O.G. drops in for the solid "Do What I Gotta Do" track. The next track is the Tiger colab with "Whatgabouthat" which it depends on what mood I'm in on where I like that song or not. The final track is The Pharcyde colab "Soul Flower" with is good, but doesn't match the remix which appears on Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde.
Overall a great album. Most of the colabs I'm feeling with the live sounding instruments. This is one of those albums that you can vibe to real easily. With only 10 tracks, clocking at 35 minutes, this album may feel a little short sounding, but it does quickly get to the point. Fans of live sounding music will like this one. It does have a little crossover appeal to it, but it still keeps it place in the acid jazz and hip hop areas. This is one I recommend you check out, especially if you're a fan of anyone who appears on this album.
