P Brothers
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?
