Blink and you'd have missed this album's release which is a shame as there are at least two cuts here which are slammin', hardcore-ish raps from Melyin Rich, Willie Kemp and Ron Thompson otherwise known as Cauzin Efekt. The beats are stark, there are some song licks which work particularly well and though it was absurd to give the girl group Uptown Posse big sleeve billing (you can't hear them!) that's a minor grumble. If you thought Chicago's Cornerstone Ministry could only support heavy rockers, you'll be in for a surprise
