ever since i was little i was intrigued by music. i loved to listen to it. i loved to collect it (i had shoeboxes full of cassette singles-everything from LL “Around The Way Girl” to Pajama Party “Yo No Say”-don’t ask). as i got older i started buying records! every 12″ rap single that came out!! my collection was growing and my parents were getting pissed haha!! then i started writing raps and making shitty beats on a Roland with 4 buttons (don’t even remember the model #). i would rap with my friends in 6th grade. there was this kid we called Puerto Rican Freddy who would wear suits to school and would try and battle me but he would use Redman lines as if no one would notice! i would use written rhymes back then but they were so shitty it isn’t like you could tell….

Color me impressed. Both these dudes are leaps and bounds ahead of their past-selves. Dez doles out that panache in general. “Dwight Gooden” is him shamelessly taking aim at your head. Nobs’ production here reminds me a lot of prime DJ Muggs during the Funkdoobiest era. Bare bones, but thorough and it lets your ears percolate. From their Rocky Dennis LP slated for a March 2010 release.
