The answer can't be found in a simple yes or no. The New Breed delivers a pretty well-polished effort, especially considering the lack of major label signing. This isn't just some local hip hop group that recorded an EP in the drummer's basement. The sound is clean and, though it is not perfect, it certainly allows listeners the ability to listen to the music without having to deal with any added distraction from the disc itself.
The beats from the disc are simple, yet effective. Tracks like Pump It Up and Things I Like give some good sound to the album. Though not every track delivers in this aspect, Step works with a fairly simple beat and builds it up throughout the song, which ends up being a nice addition to the track. And The Art Of Jumping, even with it's incredibly annoying introduction (Though it is clearly designed to be incredibly annoying), offers what can be described as a stripped down dance track.
So the beats are, at the very least, decent throughout. Where the disc tends to fall flat is in the lyrics and energy. Though it is clear that, in a live atmosphere, there is the potential for a pretty entertaining time, the energy does not quite translate fully on to the disc. As for the lyrics, they vary from the personal touch of Stay Strong to the somewhat cliche' lyrics of the disc opener, Here We Go and some others. And, much like the lyrics, the vocals could use improvement as well, as evidenced on the chorus of Stay Strong and Judgment Day (Though the track does offer a darker feel that is a welcome addition to the disc).
Overall, this is a good introduction effort. There's certainly flaws, but the potential for growth in the music is there. And that potential certainly offers Unforsaken hope that The New Breed could be around for a while.
