Siah & Yeshua DapoED - The Visualz

Some more hip-hop for you. This time of the old-school-vinyl-only-gem-turned-anthologized-digital-reissue variety.

Traffic records has remastered and digitalized Siah and Yeshau DapoED's The Visualz EP (originally cut on vinyl-only way back in 1996 on underground legend and hilariously named Fondle 'Em records), repacking the sucker with a ton of added bonus material and releasing it in stores everywhere as The Visualz Anthology.

The bonus material is all good and welcome, but the true jams are still the EP's original tracks. Siah and Yeshua tag-team rap over dusty jazz-sample beats, relentlessly sparring verses back and forth like they're trading hands up a baseball shaft, all the while maintaining a no-sweat, cool, nonchalance. Highlights abound, but the record's centerpice is unquestionably the eleven-minute opus "A Day Like Any Other," a grand and twisting narrative of rhymes that plays out acrosss dozens of seamless beat changes.
