Description

Jedi Mind Tricks come storming back with the follow up to their inconsistent 'Army of Pharoahs' mixtape with their latest release 'Servants In Heaven, Kings In Hell'. Stoupe is once again consumed with his penchant for Latin rhythms and provides his usual razor sharp production, delivering a well rounded and layered musical surface for Vinnie & Co to destroy.

Skittering mellow melodies are plyed with industrially heavy beats, (just check out the track entitled 'serenity in murder') creating a sense of urgency yet melancholy reflection. Vinnie Paz is on fire (again) but this time he (slightly)more… tones down the violence, removes homophobic slurs and shows a knack for impeccable story-telling. There really aren't many rappers out there who name-check Cannibal Corpse, Dillinger Escape Plan and Bill Hicks. Paz delves deep into his inner pscyhe to reveal issues close to his heart like the relationship with his family and this allows the listener to connect with his personality, thus making his lines and aggression all the more relevant. He also puts across an extremely pessimistic viewpoint spitting lines like "my future a box or an urn" and "each day is another day closer to death". The album also touches upon a number of issues including the vietnam war, slave labour and government corruption. The former features an 'on fire' R.A The Rugged Man who delivers immense wordplay and timing. Other guests include ILL Bill, Sean Price and Chief Kamachi. The track 'when all light dies' features a nice trip-hop style vocal chorus contribution from Diamond Girl while the soulful sample in the closing track 'black winter day', combines nicely with the violent content. This is an altogether refereshing change to the (very effective but) standard, sampled and vinyl scratched choruses.

All in all, this album is a highly consistent long player featuring enough quality to move JMT back to the heights they achieved with their unanimously praised classic, 'Violent By Design'. If you're a fan of heartfelt, unflinching yet melodic horrorcore, then cop this right now. If you aren't then you may be suprised by a slightly more lyrically and stylistically varied album
