Yeah, nice album - I got it on tape back in the day. The rappers are Evocalist and D-Wyze - most of the album is battle raps and chillin'-in-the-hood type rhymes, but the chilled beats make it all sound fresh. Kinda like a West Coast Tribe Called Quest in a way, with very cool, jazzy, fun grooves (a couple courtesy of Fred Wreck).

Shit, I'm going to have to break this out now... I hate the hissy sound of old cassettes though

If you can pick this up easily anywhere I'd get it homie - I got it through mail order in 1995 and literally have never seen a copy since... Happy hunting
