Respected West Coast turntablist and mainstay on the world-famous Wake-Up Show, DJ Revolution has recuited an impressive list of MCs and DJs to blaze 20 tracks on his outstanding Duck Down Records release, KING OF THE DECKS. KRS-One, Guilty Simpson, Freddie Foxxx, Blaq Poet, Planet Asia, Boot Camp Clik, and Tash of the Alkaholiks are just a few of the rappers on hand while Marco Polo, DJ Numark, and DJ Spinbad lend supplemental scratches and production to what is undoubtedly one of the tightest underground albums of the year.
Tracklist
Sean Price
Sean Price got his start as the Ruck half of 1990s hip-hop duo Heltah Skeltah, a charter member of Brooklyn's Boot Camp Clik. However, it wasn't until nearly a decade later that the tough-edged MC stepped out on his own with 2006's MONKEY BARZ. Possessing a guttural voice and a unique, hyper-accentuated flow, Price tempers his rough subjects with a relaxed storytelling style, a conflict both alluring and unsettling.
KRS-One
Kris "KRS-One" Parker was the driving force behind the group Boogie Down Productions, purveyors of a politically conscious rap style dubbed Edutainment. KRS-One, which stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme, began his solo career with 1993's RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP, and devoted himself to defining, promoting, and preserving the true spirit of hip-hop. (The Blastmaster even went so far as to start the Zulu Nation-esque Temple of Hip-Hop Kulture in the late 1990s.) Though controversial, and occasionally inconsistent in his politics, KRS-One remains one of the most respected and sought-after MCs ever.
