Black Moons classic debut album 'Enta Da Stage' had put Boot Camp Clik on the map back in 1993, and now in 95 the duo of Smif-N-Wessun were following that up with their debut, 'Dah Shinin'. The fact that this album gets the same respect as all those classic albums from them days says it all. Back in 95 NYC hip hop was strong & if you didn't bring something special to the table you got left behind. I wish it still was that way.
'Dah Shinin' is a dark, ominous sounding album, with gruff & threatening raps from the emcees and some dusty, gritty beats laid down by the Beatminerz. Its not as varied as Black Moons album, but it is consistent. 'Dah Shinin' is a creepy, blunted experience, and about as street as it gets. You can almost smell a mixture of gun and weed smoke with Smif-N-Wessuns late night alley way stories. This is pure hip hop flava, Must Own if you enjoy BCC or the classic NYC stuff of yesteryear. |
