Hit: 5 Stars
The UMC's "Fruits of Nature" is never dull. It is a vibrant album that keeps moving both musically and lyrically. Each track is based on fast-paced jazz and/or funk beats, and the exchange of lyrics between Kool Kim and Haas G is enjoyable and intellectual, yet easygoing and fun.
The popular singles("One to Grow On", "Blue Cheese") thrive on intriguing wordplay and rhymes set to danceable rhythms and backbeats.
The album staples ("Kraftworks", "Swing It To The Area", "Never Never Land") entertain in the same fashion and challenge some conventions (for example, "Kraftworks" is in a 2-4 swing beat, while "Swing It To The Area" changes tempo halfway through).
And the more serious and/or didactic tracks ("Morals","Jive Talk", "Feelings", "Woman Be Out") manage to convey their respective messages without getting too heavy or slowing the album down. The other tracks ("Pass It On", "Anyway The Wind Blows", "You Got My Back", "It's Gonna Last", "Hey Here We Go") are an account of the group's past, present, and future, and round out the album well.
I like listening to this album firstly because the music is varied and interesting. And the jazz influences can be heard in more than just the instruments--the lyrics too, seem to have some jazz in them, if that's not too far-fetched.
All in all, a very good album on all levels.
Fruits of Nature Poster
Explicit Version. 2008 reissue of the debut album from this Rap duo, originally released in 1991. Because of their lighthearted nature, the album was lost in a sea of Gangsta Rap albums and the band slowly drifted away. Since then, their music has been reappraised and is more popular now than ever.Pop Music CDs
