Free Music Notes for Unleashed
Free Music Review: Dark, but Bland Sophomore Effort (Rating: 6 out of 10- -3.0 stars)
Hit: 3 Stars
Before Hassan became a solid producer, and Kool Kim transformed to Nyoil and started being political, these two guys were part of a group called UMC's (Note: Not to be confused with Ultramagnetic MC's...although they were both signed to the same label at one point). These two guys had dope songs such as "Blue Cheese" back in 1990. But heading up with their sophomore album Unleashed, the question is can these guys stand up to the test of time with this realease.
Determine that, when you have a songs that range from positive, such as "Evil Wayz", to negative, like "Time To Set It Straight". The answer to that question is somewhat (which warrants a "somewhat" score). The problem is that not too much here standout. Sure the production here is good, but Haas and Kim every once in a while show themselves as good rappers. With weak hooks (ie "Hit The Track") and swing-and-a-miss punchlines on the weak "Ill Demonic Clique" makes this album seem kinda bland.
The good thing about this is that there are some songs here that are great. As mentioned before "Evil Wayz" is dope. "Speak Ill Thoughts" would be another standout in my opinion. "How It Gotta Be" isn't a bad song either. Also, I mentioned before, the production here is good enough to keep your attention to this album here. With that being said, Unleashed really isn't a bad album, but don't expect for it to blow your mind either. In a nutshell: Never heard of this group? Start with Fruits of Nature first. Peace.
