Darkroom Familia - "Homicide Kingz"

Date: 9/30/00


------------With Darkroom releasing a ton of albums this year, everyone has been waiting for the next official Darkroom Familia release, since we haven�t heard Darkroom Familia as a group since �Veteranos�. With Darkroom members old and new on this cd, you are sure to hear you favorites on here. And though its been a while since we have heard a Darkroom cd, I am sure you will be surprised. I was.
___This cd starts off the right way with �This Is Darkroom� featuring Dyno and Oso. Both spit tight rhymes back and forth all with a tight beat done by J-Loc. Then you are hit with a Darkroom posse cut, �Every City That We Hit� with 6 rappers on one song. Of course this song is great. And only two songs later we are hit with yet another posse song, � Homicide Kingz� and its just as tight as the first one. From there on, you get songs ranging from solo songs to 2 or 3 people per a song. And they are all tight. Newest Darkroom members Sapo and J-Loc show you what to expect with �Darken Skies�. With a really tight, dark beat, J-Loc, Sapo, and Sidewayz all hold their own on this track. This track definitely showcases the new talent Darkroom has acquired. And in case you thought that Lowdown wasn�t with Darkroom anymore, �Still Darkroom� will erase any doubts you have as Never and Lil Wyno show up rapping alongside Dyno and A.L.G. With a Spanish sounding beat, this song reminds you that Never and Lil Wyno haven�t went anywhere even though they may be on a different label. �Murder Night� is another collaboration between A.L.G. and Dyno and keeps up the high standards this cd set. You can�t forget about the solo songs with Duke, Crooked, Dyno, A.L.G., and J-Loc all having one. �Fuck My Enemies� is your typical Duke track, violent and tight as fuck. �Sick Of It All� will bring you back to Crooked�s solo cd �Violence Solves Everything� as it has the same vibe. Crooked, like always, doesn�t disappoint. A.L.G.�s �You Know How We Ride� is tight but ultimately too short.
___With this cd, Darkroom has brought their level up one. With only 12 tracks there is no room for weak tracks and this cd doesn�t have one. With tight beats and even tighter rhymes, I can�t find much to complain about. Some songs may be better than others, but in the end they are all tight. This is the best work Darkroom has done as a group and any fan should enjoy this cd to the max. DogDay must be pissed seeing what they let go. I can�t wait to hear what�s next from the Darkroom Familia.

Rating: 9.8/10
