Don't really know too much about this crew, except that their music is pretty darn fresh. Many of you might recognize the Little Lunatic from an appearance alongside the Beatnuts, but other than that, it's all a mystery to me. A couple of them sound slightly familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it. Any clues are more than welcome.
Inna Cipher, with its classic breakbeat drums and "ill-murderous, ostentatious lyrics," hits you like a jab-jab-right cross combo... You know what's coming but it breaks down the defense anyway. And Mindtrix is a solid, gritty, slow-rolling funkfest in its own right, with good, reserved use of sax stabs and creepy pianos that're sure to be the technique of choice for scrappers and southpaws worldwide.
