CLICK THA SUPAH-LATIN
Square Won (Underload/Vivid)

Beat-boxin', the art of making drums and samples with your mouth, is now an old-school pastime (see "Son of Byford," Run DMC, 1986, "A One Two" by Biz Markie, 1986, or "Stick ‘Em" by The Fat Boys, 1984). With sampling at the forefront for years now, and the crates picked nearly clean of funky breaks, where's technology to go next? Back to the future. Back to Click Tha Supah-Latin, who smoothly bounces between (quite literally) producing his own songs, to rhyming smoothly over them.

Jurassic 5, D.O.A. and Medusa all step into the frame from time to time. J5 has the most memorable style, though, with their immediately recognizable group vocals, and compliment Click's energy superbly. A fun album.
