| | Review: | In a society where the hip-hop genre has been a source of
great economic success, its influence has been connected to
the increasing decadence of society. With the intent of
returning both the hip-hop genre and its ensuing culture to
a place of moral decency, The Yuinon returns with its latest
effort titled Genocide.
Simply put, this is must-hear hip-hop.
The Yunion are a conglomeration of rhymers that could, in
some circles, be considered "Trekkies" —for they boldly go
where no emcees have gone before. In so doing, this all-star
team drops a 24-track effort that is one of the most lethal
hip-hop efforts in recent memory. Containing nearly as many
female emcees as it does male emcees, The Yunion naturally
bring a diverse sound to their projects, touching on a
myriad of subjects, and this time out all related to the
decreasing moral fiber of society.
The project kicks off strong with "The Block" featuring
Jack & Light Da Flow Minista. This in-your-face bass thumper
embodies the essence of pure hip-hop and this project,
fusing captivating tracks with compelling lyrics. Light Da
Flow Minista strongly vies for the title of hip-hop’s most
intense female lyricist, as evidenced on this track. She
also drops her potent flow on "40 Bars", which is as
gritty a cut as you’ll find in all of hip-hop. It’s a
guaranteed hit!
Mahogany Jones comes to the stage, displaying her skills on
"Warrior" and "The Son". Check out "Hey Young World",
which has Jones spitting fire over the a cheerleader's
stomp provided by Alexis.
The social relevance of this album can't be denied and
becomes increasingly evident with each track. The Mad
Prophets drop "Where's the Progress", which speaks to the
financial growth that the hip hop community has experienced
while acknowledging the moral regression that has occurred
in the midst of it.
"America’s Role Model" is a 74-second skit that shows a
father purchasing an album for his daughter, filled with
lyrical content that shows the ease with which families
engage in the furtherance of pessimistic hip-hop.
Fusing neo-soul with pure hip-hop, I-Ron-Ic-Lee teams with
Maurice Jacobs on the bonafide hit "Open". Corey Red &
Precise show up on the album, yet the duo appear on separate
tracks, making for a rarity. Corey Red teams with Diallo on
the remix of the "Yuinon Anthem", while Precise appears on
three solo efforts, with the one titled "G.E.M." heralding
the worth of a woman.
Other Yuinon artists featured on this effort include Sistah
Dee, Shekinah, Janee Bradford and Mark J, who gives the
sermonic ending on the spoken word effort "Takin' It
Back".
This is as rich of a project as you will find in the music
industry today. Its potency and legitimacy cannot be denied,
as a spiritual Genocide is launched on the enemy’s plan to
destroy the culture. | | source: GospelFlava.com, added: May 14, 2006 |  |
