CD from The Rising Sun Quest
Saturday, July 19, 2008
By David Pond and Brian LaRue
The Rising Sun Quest, Journey Towards The Sun (risingsunquest.com). A breath of fresh air for Connecticut hip-hop. Composed of positive content about respect and everyday struggles, conscious rhymes about the system and NPR sound clips, this is the kind of classic that reminds you of KRS-One, Chuck D or the Guru. The production, beats and scratches are just as tight as the rhymes, crossing between Masta Ace's Sitting On Chrome and Guru's Jazzmatazz. The sound is strictly old-school East Coast. The track to bang for your friends is "Take Care of Business"; its soulful hook is inspiring, and makes you want to sing along while bobbing your head to the beat. B-boys, B-girls, writers and DJs best take care of business and go cop this album.
