Album Notes This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by J-Rocc and Babu of Beat Junkies.Although the original SOUNDBOMBING compilation is a hard act to follow, Rawkus made an excellent choice in recruiting mixtape savants J-Rocc & Babu--collectively known as the Bumrush Brothers--to take over Evil Dee's place at the helm of this follow-up. While there are no absolute standout tracks to compare with some of the gems on the original, PART II may be more consistently on-point throughout. The CD represents an excellent cross-section of some of the most talented artists making hiphop in 1999. The whole production kicks off with radio darling Eminem--who keeps things surprisingly underground--dusting off rhyme styles he hasn't displayed since his appearance on LYRICIST'S LOUNGE. He is immediately followed by Mos Def and Mad Skillz on "B-Boy Document 99." Other premium tracks include "Patriotism" by Company Flow (for the beats), "Mayor" by Pharoah Monche (for the rhyme), and "When It Rains It Pours" by Diamond (for all-around flavor). Followers of the label's vinyl output will already be familiar with such pearls as Common's "1-9-9-9" and Medina Green's "Crosstown Beef." This last reunites 2/3rds of Urban ThermoDynamics, the group that first introduced the world to the mighty Mos Def. Editorial Reviews Vibe (08/01/1999) | |||||||||||||
