Heavy Bronx Experience Vol 5: A New Era ("Showstopper Pt. 2 / Un-Comparable /
Rock The House")
Heavy Bronx - 2003

3 emcees: Mr. 45, Cappo, and Lee Ramsay; 1 track each, all guided by what defines the Nottingham collective known as The P Brothers: the (Paul S and DJ Ivory) drums of death. The lead is grind-core b-boy bouillabaisse as 45 takes to present-day UK in "Cool J hat, Clark Kent glasses" with flare, needn't yell his tag, for just: "look at my belt buckle, you can see my name". Keep the grinding, lose the vain in a Cappo world where "the bread is stale and the wine is bitter" - its headphone cold indeed. Only to thwart any inkling of settling down, as Lee Ramsay gets physical for "Rock The House". You'll scramble for the closet resting scuffed Tims and Carhartt suit, for Ramsay's neo-Treach stance that does undeniably "work well with a groove", so much that Syndicate's Donald D explodes from nowhere in a vintage visceral blessing, could The P Brothers be a blessing from God?
