This album is verbally refreshing and invites the head-bobbing of hip-hop lovers, the hips of salsa dancers, the ears of country fans, and the foot-stomping of rock addicts. It's no wonder this album represents different musical taste as the group is comprised of four talented men all the way from South America to Alabama to the Bay Area. Piper, Steve Knight, Dave Lopez, and D-Sharp spit and sing unique lyrics that shed light on subjects that are not found dominant in music-politics, prayer, and unity.
In the latin-inspired track, “U.S. History”, the foursome does a great job of recapping history using metaphors to show the relationship of America to other countries. Often times on this track, America is verbally shown as the big dog who will not allow anyone to use its bones, unless they will get double bones back. “Angel” gives credit to all the single spectacular mothers in the world, while “Revolutionary Beat” is a bass-filled track that explains why we don’t have unity in our world and what the outcome will be if we don’t become unified.
After listening to this
album, you will not be able to classify it as one specific genre as it
offers intense musical variety. That in itself speaks never heard
before volume for these brave artists in 2006. I do think this group
will see some hesitation on the public’s part to purchase this album as
it is far from the “norm”. However, someone had to do it….create
something with substance that represents positivity as well as
empowerment for all people. Music lovers should definitely embrace this
creative group, take a journey on the flipside, and try something new
for a change. Download: “U.S. History” “Revolutionary Beat” “Get Ready”
