DJ Grazzhoppa and the Greedy Boy's debut album for DC Recordings features a range of production styles and guest emcees, reflecting the diverse and global nature of hip hop. The anarchic mind of Cage unfolds over two haunting cuts ('Daydreams' and 'Adlibs in My Head'), while Necro continues the verbal derangement with the caustic 'Brutal Styles' and the jazz tinged 'Wise Ass'. The paranoid poetics are then broken up by M. F. Doom and Megalon as they deliver the high speed verbalization that is 'True Thug MC' and the Monster Island stylings of 'I Sell Rhymes Like Dimes.' Next level turntablism is then represented as Tony Vegas of the Scratch Perverts takes on Grazzhoppa with the cutting lesson that is 'Playing With a Pervert'. The greedy duo also unleash some gut busting instrumentals in the shape of 'With Momentum and 'There You Go'. This is a creative and un-compromising LP that is firmly rooted in the traditions of hip hop but still sounds fresh and forward thinking.
