Description

Keepin' it real" might be most horrendously over-used phrase in hip-hop, but All Natural are one duo who could hold their heads high should they ever chose to use it. Born and raised in middle class Chicago, college educated and happily confined to small labels, rapper Capital D and DJ Tone B.Nimble never pretend to be anything other than socially aware hip-hop fans from the right side of the tracks. In fact, the only guns'n'hos clichés to make their second album, are in Capital D's mocking snipes against big bucks rappers who favour them ("Mr. Sexy", "Elements Of Style") and gold digging ladiesmore… who only favour big bucks rappers ("Queens Get The Money"). For the most part though, Capital D puts his extensive vocabulary to the more pressing issues of Chicago and America's social decline (Ill Advisory, Chatham, Uncle Sam), firing off some spectacularly articulate assaults in the process. Sometimes he over intellectualises, rendering rhymes fast, complex and impossible for even the highest of I.Q.'s to unravel. But even when the lyrical flow seems impenetrable, Nimble's sublime selection of down-tempo cinematic back-drops- some sinister, some smooth, some jazz- remain stirring enough to keep the ears and mind totally hooked. --Dan Gennoe
