Lightheaded - Wrong Way

MySpace

Throwback hip-hop is an interesting beast, too often it comes across as gimmicky and a second rate copy of the mid 90s sound created by the Native Tongues collective. But when it’s done well it is so undeniably dope you forget what year it was made and just bob your head. Kicking off the tempo is straight party jams, In The Building, Individually Wrapped and Showcase are fast paced classic hip-hop as the MCs drop fun rhymes with subtle social commentary. There are smatterings of soul samples and smoother bass lines on cuts like Timeless and Bing Pong, whilst all three MCs show their ability as storytellers on the dope Eye to Eye – the beat one of only a couple produced outside the group. Another standout is Wrong Way, a mash up of live musicians and scratching courtesy of four DJs – Rob Swift included – providing a funked up background that the MCs relish.
