Play Havoc – "All Things Due"

 

First I need to correct a mistake I made in my first PH review: I was under the impression that DJ Sleepyhead was doing all the Production for PH, but after checking the credits on the album I see all but 2 tracks were done by Ill Advice. So sorry to PH and the 2 or 3 people that I misinformed. Hey I'm not a Pro at this; I do it for fun….

 

"All Things Due", what's not to like about this album? It's got everything a great album should have. Strong Production thanks to Ill Advice and tracks by M.Tilla (Kick Drums) and Krossword. Lyricism? Yeah they brought that too. I'm really impressed with these cats, actually I started thinking I was being biased just cause their hometown kids. But naw, that ain't it. Its good cause' it's genuine.  It feels like an old EPMD album, not that it's dated, but just in its feel from start to finish. They make it feel like an album, one worth listening to again and again. I kept waiting for the garbage, I had just heard Prophs album, and thought there was no way I was gonna hear two equally amazing disc's from Cleveland back to back. But I DID.  And so should you. So if you're reading this and you don't have it…Get it stupid. There's some really great shit going on here right now, I'm glad just to witness it.  Standout tracks are the M.Tilla produced "Goodbye" and "Danger Us" produced by Ill Advice.

 

Negatives? Ehhh, depending on what system I'm listening to it on, the vocals sometimes lack clarity, I don't know. I guess that's a con, but not really so long as you have a decent stereo (my PC's speakers are the worst) to listen to this CLE classic on you'll be more than fine. 4.5 out of 5 - NME
