LIKWIT CONNECTION IS PHAT, AGAIN!
Defari is just another example of likwit's talents. Focused Daily and Lowlands anthem's are phat tracks along with never lose touch. Defari show's his skills on his debut album this is a must get.
THIS ALBUM IS THE LIK! WORD IZ BOND!
following such groups (The Liks, Rass Kass, King T, the Pharcyde, The Hieroglyphics, etc.) who seem to shy away from the dying gangsta rap on the west coast. Defari's beats are steady bumpin'. Plus, his rhyme skills could probably F**k up an east coast cat, like Mr.Cheeks.
An all out ILL Cd
I give much props to Defari's debut cd "Focused Daily". A masterpiece of underground hip-hop at it's best. This cd should be heard by everyone who enjoys hip-hop. Over 17 tracks, you don't have to change A song. The 2nd track titled "focused daily" is featured with Dilated Peoples member EVIDENCE and is a perfect song to introduce one to this masterpiece of a cd. The track "never lose touch" has a rigid piano based melody to back up Defari's sensational lyrics. The best tracks which are hard to determine, are quite frankly "bionic", "killin spree", "never lose touch", "focused daily", "yes indeed"
West/East Coast?? Neh!! Sounds mo!! bangin' than any coast
All I can say is "This album is from the unkown space. Even Madiba (Nelson Mandela) will definately bounce to this" I consider it one of the illest offerings of the decade. Both the lyrics and the beats are on point, and are also complemented by his voice. The man does not have to write any book, his voice is one of the commanding and illest since Rakim. He is also one of the most intelligent cats I have ever listened to. Him and Evidence almost sound the same in the second track. I would like to see him working with ELpppp!! (Company Flow) and Madlib in production, with Peanut Butter Wolf , DJ Revolution, or S. AMstrong on the brakes. We were hoping he will be part of our Black August in South Africa (this year). Fortunately Dead Prez, Talib, Jeru and Black Thought also represented to the fullest "Big Up". Hey!!!! this is a "MUST" for ALL MATURED HIP-HOP fans. YOU WON'T HAVE TO SKIP ANY TRACK UNTIL THE END. YOU JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY DA RIDE TO HIS UNKOWN SPACE. PLEASE NOTIFY ME ABOUT HIS CURRENT WORK!!!
Western Sizzlin'
Though it is two years old , I recommend this album over several recent albums, beacause Defari is one of LA's top MCs, and the beats by Alchemist and E-Swift are raw like Big Daddy. The most knockin' joints is Yes Indeed and Focused Daily. I agree Defari would dust off Mr. Cheeks or maybe Jigga?
After releasing a string of critically acclaimed independent 12-inch singles, Southern California-based Defari unleashes 17 solid blasts of hip-hop on his debut full-length album. A member of the Likwit Crew (Tha Alkaholiks, King Tee, Xzibit) as well as a history teacher at Inglewood High, Defari commands the microphone with a fluid flow of literate lyrics and tight rhymes. They ride high on a bevy of well-crafted beats, which cover a variety of sonic terrain: from low-and-slow to smooth, mellow soul, with even some opera-inclined orchestration popping up. "Never Lose Touch" rolls along to a minimalistic operatic groove of Pavarotti intonations, and "Yes Indeed" has a Ming Dynasty-era atonal vibe, while "Juggle Me (For the DJs)" is all rough-and-tumble bass-driven chug. Defari's Likwit Crew comrades pop up on several tunes, including "Likwit Connection," which features Tha Alkaholiks, and "Thunder & Lightning," on which Xzibit guests. As Defari exclaims on the title track, "Don't mistake this for no pop rap, pop / But that raw deal fell, that real hip-hop." This is straight underground hip-hop with mass appeal.
