Press Review
5 out of 5 Stars Review of Prof & Rahzwell Sampler EP 2005
-- Jessica Ibarra- Radio MCAD, Minneapolis,MN
Using terms you've never heard before with a juxtaposition of instruments and syncopated beats, Prof & Rahzwell definitely deliver what the midwest hip-hop scene has been waiting for. This EP is a blend of catchy melodies that add texture and flavor to expressive lyrics and instruments that test the boundaries of the genre.
Anyone who would skip over the opening track "And My Momma" is crazy! The beats are spicier than fresh basil, delivery is more than impressive and that harmonica is stunning. If someone actually is crazy enough to skip over the first track, the second "Heroes" is a subtle blend of brilliant rhymes that flow together so seamlessly, that it will not disappoint. The third track "Mic Terror" exhibits some of the best rhyming abilities on the album while the following track "BYOB" shocks and amazes you with the combination of beat-boxing and a flute. It is sure to shake up any dance party. At first listen "The Awakening" seems simplistic with it's combo of straight beats and filthy lyrics, but don't let that fool you. This song is still full of innovative lyricism with a smooth delivery that demonstrate the unstoppable flow of Prof. Lastly, "Sucker Free(style)" seems a great parody of the style of London based grage hip-hop artists, The Streets. It is because of this hysterical style and the lyrics within it that this track will make yo smile as well as make you laugh, all while your head is bouncin' or your foot is tappin'. This final track definitely makes you want more.
