And now of course I am horrendously behind. Not in listening but finding the time to write things up is difficult. But as work winds down before Christmas I have a little more time and perspective on this project.
So Katch 22. A Kold Sweat group - the distinctive green labelled hip hop label. And with that title, and that cover you just now that this is going to be a goodie. And indeed it delivers: Like a good strand of british rap, the production is public enemy lite. Katch Mission builds on a bomb alert james brown type sample that the Bomb Squad would use as a base layer - here it's relatively sparse but still powerful. The rapping is tight and to the point. Another common thread is the fast rap track: here Service with a Smile races along with a ton of whoop scratching.
And it carries on that high level - solid rapping, solid production and good djing. It's a great great record.
Couldn't find a live version so here's Katch Mission:
