Take a lick from the N master.........
this is the best cd that ive ever heard. some of the top picks that are highly recommended are "take a lick", "put it in your mouth" and "coooooochie mama". so the next time you stop by the store check out this great 1999 cd by AKIN-YELE. if you have any objections give me and me friends a holla at BERKELEY.
A bit of a change for Ak
If you have ever heard his earlier album, Vagina Diner, you know that his unique rap style is what set him apart from other rappers who also used foul laguage and rapped about ghetto/ganster happenings. His beast were good, but it was his deep-throated utterance and his clever rhymes that kept you listening.On this, his second full-length album (Put It In Your Mouth being an ep release,) his production has been upped; these are songs I wouldn't mind putting in my car stereo for a cruise down Santa Clara on a Saturday night. His rap skills are still there; you hear rhyme that make you laugh or go "Dang!" But he's backed up on the use of his trademark deep-throated vocalizations. In other words, he has gone from being the pure hardcore rapper with a unique sound on his first album to being a more commercial hardcore rapper on his second.
Your best bet would be to buy both albums, and listen to whichever fits your mood. However, since his first album is out of print, you're left with this good effort, while missing out on what caught everyone's attention in the first place. I hope, if he makes a third album, he'll keep the production while going back to his vocal roots.
