"youthful soldiers waiting their turn to spit a few bars. While DJs have long been given second billing -- assigned to lay the foundation over which the poets flow --there have always existed a few brave DJs who step into the spotlight themselves to display the true tricks of the trade and re-assert the DJ's rightful place of prominence. The X-ecutioners are four such men, as proved on their latest effort, Built From Scratch -- where they segue between rhyme and rhythm with unholy precision.
Formed in 1988 to overthrow then-reigning DJ champs, Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, Roc Raida, and Total Eclipse have since demolished all competition. Now, with their West Coast counterparts, The Invisibl Skratch Picklz, disbanded, the X-ecutioners remain the last men standing. On Scratch, their second full-length release, they masterfully explore breakbeat fusion, flowing smoothly from scratch to hip-hop to rock and everything in between.

A surprisingly strong appearance by Linkin Park adds a heavy feel mid-album, but not nearly as crunching as the utter thrashing M.O.P. offers with "Let it Bang." "A Journey Into Sound" watches Kenny Muhammed get wicked on the beatbox as the organic electronica existent on "3 Boroughs," "Feel the Bass," and "X-ecutioners Scratch" highlights what these men do best. Another sleeper is the Tom Tom Club's rendition of "Genius of Love," a throwback so retro you begin looking through old Motown jackets for turntables, but nothing on this disc is as perfect as the pairing of Pharoahe Monch and Xzibit's tag-teaming on "Y'all Know the Name."

Existing in a musical culture constantly professing itself "evolutionary" (as most rap-rock fusionists think adding a reggae break equals innovation) X-ecutioners concern themselves first with the mother beat, subsequently adding an array of layers that span the spectrum of sound. With this indivisible approach they capture the essence of what DJ culture represents: a boundless rhythm for the world to dance to."
