Jean Grae - The Orchestral Files (Deluxe 2CD Edition)

Jean Grae may be the most talented female rapper at large. Her penchant for merciless, R-rated flow both explains her inability to paddle into the mainstream and seems to fuel much of the anger girding her style. Nevertheless, she shovels volumes of fun for those with an appreciation for pure skills and/or the stomach for lines like "I’ll stab you in the aortic valve with a 12-inch blade and f***in’ rub salve in it."

Despite the fact that The Orchestral Files was originally released in 2007, this deluxe, double-disc re-issue packs the real punch. Its second disc, "The Definitive Collaboration Collection," collects 18 tracks featuring Grae and such hip-hop notables as Masta Ace, Prince Paul, Diverse, and Talib Kweli (the energizing, marimba-laden "Power, Money & Influence"). The take-you-to-school-style highlight is the Herbaliser’s "Nah'mean Nah'm Sayin" (from 2005’s Take London). Herb’s robust horn section splits in two, with the low brass driving the riff and the trumpets piercing the resultant groove with the same percussive angst that Grae has taken as her modus operandi since her last name change, at least. What’s more, fans who have been scouring CDs from labels like Ninja Tune, M3, 7 Grand, Decon, Up Above, Nature Sounds, BBE, Copter, Third Earth Music, Razor & Tie, and Def Jux, just for their Jean Grae tracks, can finally shuck the whole pile and make some new room on the shelf.

Jean Grae - This Week

Like Bahamadia before her, Jean Grae carries the burden of being way too clever a "femcee" for the music business to behold. (For dumbed-down rhymes, go to Gangsta Boo.) When Grae's in battle-rap mode, her vocal clarity and lyrical dexterity remind one of Jay-Z. However, the relationship-focused confessionals elicit an even greater response because they're so darn honest. "Give It Up" or "P.S." sound like profound Emily Dickinson love poems read with a contemporary New York 'hood twist. Grae has always needed to find equally ambitious beats to match her fiery flows, and this time around she's inched a bit closer to that ideal. Some of 9th Wonder's dirty beats (like "Don't Rush Me") may help her win over slightly larger audiences, but even she admits that her "flow don't make appropriate wealth." Of course, if sales reflected skills, This Week would blow up and Grae would be sitting pretty next to P Diddy.

01. Intro
02. A-Alikes
03. Cuervo Loco-Skit
04. Going Crazy
05. Style Wars feat. Block McCloud
06. Not Like Me

FILI-
I first found out about Jean Grae when I heard this album and it blew me away, not since Bahamadia did a female MC come along and make the kinda noise Jean did. For real hip hop purists, her flow and worldplay were on another level and she stood firm as one the brightest hip hop artists to emerge. For me she still holds the crown for the best female MC out right now but I gotta make a special mention to another dope female MC who's also killin it with her recently released debut, "Shapeshifters", her name is Invincible... can you imagine these two on the same track?! Anyway, for those that slept on this, make sure you check it out and be blown away by one one the best lyricists in the game, male or female!!
