Album Reviews
World-renowned radio turntablist DJ Revolution is known for putting together solid mix tapes, but finally fans get to enjoy an album of his comprised of entirely original material. In 12's We Trust is the name of DJ Revolution's freshman attempt at producing a full album, and while it is obvious he is a competent DJ, his production skills have yet to reach his skills on the turntables. The album has mostly turntable-inspired tracks, but DJ Revolution includes a handful of songs featuring up and coming underground MCs. Hands down, the best cut on the album is "Evolution" featuring Evidence of the Dilated Peoples; the beats and the rhymes are on point. In the end, while the album does an excellent job of exposing turntablism as an art form to the masses, it only does an adequate job of elevating hip-hop production as a whole. ~ Nick Pfeiffer, All Music Guide

Dangerous Kardinal Offishall Feat. Akon |
| Hitmaking machine Akon has always been good at helping others. Both established and new talent have often queued for his helping hand. One of his latest and most successful collaborators has been Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, a former producer of emerging bands from Toronto's hip-hop scene, whose own records showed a hearty mix of reggae, rap and dancehall, showcasing the ongoing romance between North American hip-hop and the Caribbean ."Dangerous," a keyboard feast paying tribute to the female anatomy, benefits from Akon's Midas touch; so much that one could argue if Akon should have claimed the song for himself. But no one is complaining. It has been a huge summer hit stateside, reinforced with a powerful alternative version with extra muscle provided by Sean Paul and Twista; and it has paved the way for Offishall's imminent, star-studded breakthough album "Not 4 Sale", featuring all the usual suspects (Rihanna, Estelle, The-Dream, Clipse, etc.) of Today's R&B world. | |
