Reviews & Discussion
This is simply one of the best scratch/sample/rap tracks out there. Einstein's rhyming is seriously tight, and CJ's scratches are beyond belief, far more mind-blowing than his DJ work on the famous "Pump Up The Volume" by M/A/R/R/S. It's a rare treat. Einstein went on to make a decent solo album, but it's a definite shame that CJ and Einstein did not collaborate more. Classic Music of Life track that I first heard on late night CBC Radio in Canada growing up, often a proponent of emerging UK hip hop in the late 1980s when it was hot. Recommended if you like (or check out) Overlord X, Asher D & Daddy Freddy, Bomb The Bass, Coldcut, Demon Boyz, Derek B, Hijack, Smith & Mighty.
