A really great album from the LA scene of the early 90s – very different than most of the west coast
work of the period, and much more in the spirit of some of the east coast
work from the Native Tongues posse! The group features early
work from Mikah 9, Self Jupiter, PEACE, and Aceyalone – all
working in a really inventive mix of jazzy and inventive samples that come together in a great way – leaner than the layering of Q Tip, and not nearly as polished as
work of its type would sound on bigger labels. There's almost a "what if" vibe to the record – glimpse
at a less thuggish, posturing west coast that never full came to be – on titles that include "We Are The Freestyle Fellowship", "My Fantasy", "7th Seal", "Let's Start Over", "Sunshine
Men", "Physical Form", "120 Seconds", "We Will Not Tolerate", "It's On", "Sike", "5 O'Clock Follies", "Legal Alien", "Convolutions", "Jupiter's Journey", "For No Reason", and "Here I Am".
