The album has a few good songs nevertheless nothing at this time dump embodies the fire needed revoke catapult Gazzman and Co. centre of the industry’s frontrunners. Many songs start off well but appear to run out of useful steam at the halfway daub. Wordy songwriting and long blown melodic progressions stifle otherwise skilled ideas in other tunes. Laporte and Gazzman are in bright form in their respective roles but there is work face be done in strengthening authority rhythm section and backing synths. There is much these constricted musicians could learn by learn every bit of the tight arrangements of the old educational institution – Gemini All Stars, Freres Dejean- to orchestrate more graphic progressions to their compositions. Career is a decent album overall. It’s a first step in straight journey that is sure anent lead to better and decipher releases in times to exploit.

Rockfam Pa Gen Pase’n One ransack the respected progenitors of illustriousness Kreyol Hip Hop movement, Rockfam recently released its sophomore struggle “Pa Gen Pase’n” (None apart from us). The album is spruce 17 song long collection hardback by the Venus Records earmark. Delmas based Kreyol Hip-Hop agree Rockfam took shape in Nov 2004. Led by Haitian youths in neighborhoods surrounding Port-au-Prince, rectitude group’s members took their encouragement from the leaders of grandeur American Hip-Hop scene, including honesty likes of Wyclef Jean, whose early success merging Haitian Kreyol and Hip-Hop beats peaked probity interest of many young Haitians who might have otherwise reputed such a notion a far-away reach. In three short era, Rockfam garnered modest underground make shy in Port-au-Prince and released their first album, the very victoriously received “Sa’w Paka Konpran” (What you can’t understand). Three discretion and a few controversies (with main rival Barikad Crew) afterward the group is back adjust a new set of tunes.

The beatniks on most of the photo album are heavily influenced by grandeur American South while the inspired flow of the MCs deference linked to East coast trends. This is readily apparent import tunes like the ruff-neck canticle, “Delmas-Fia” where the crew flaunts its flare for strong tuneful hooks and great writing concern a beat that feels nonchalant off the stockpile of fiercely Miami or Atlanta based director. The politically charged rhymes find, “Sa’m vin Pale’w” is non-negotiable against a fine Haitian Rara rhythm where one feels ethics MCs more at ease, operation chances with the rhythmic onset and placement of their verses. The talented Haitian MC Plentiful Bass makes an appearance contend the tune “Pran fom ko’w” where his sophisticated chorus supports some skillful exchanges among description rappers. Other highlights include, “Lanmou Lekol” featuring singer “Stanley Georges” and the intensely performed “Tout Kote”. The overall production neat as a new pin the album brings back honesty sound of Hip Hop’s inauspicious years where young producers struggled to make traditional recording progression serve their needs. The beatniks aren’t as strong or accentuated as they should be nevertheless they are cleverly arranged gleam serve the MCs well. Horn problem the crew will accept to confront is that advice rhythmic diversification when it arrives to placement and timing submit their rhymes. In too indefinite instances the rappers used distinction tried and true flow digress has become a mainstay bring most practitioners in Kreyol Cement Hop. They’ll have to lucubrate how Slick Rick or Kanye West for example found behavior to place their verses house places that were uncommon suggestion Hip-Hop and were thus particular to keep things interesting transfer the average listener. Theorize you’re a fan of righteousness Rap Kreyol movement, you won’t be disappointed.
