You know when it comes to hip hop today and not many rappers inside the “pop rap” can really bring thought provoking lyrics let alone anything mixed with religious and scripture refrence plus the historic icons and other references better than emcees related to the Wu. Now with that said when you break it down recently from the large insane roster of “Wu-Killa Bees” and “Wu-Fam” you get to most likely either Hell Razah or Killah Priest as the most active and consistent. And as the younger of the two Hell Razah has stepped to the plate hard wit his debut album “Renaissance Child” and it’s follow up “Razah’s Ladder” and now his newest album “Ultra Sounds of a Renaissance Child”. Plus even Hell Razah’s work with fellow Wu-Element, 4th Disicple and their album “Freedom of Speech” which all gives Razah’s work a strong profile and as well keep him consistent as his compatriot.
With the album starting off with a bang “Asylum (The Embryo)” and “Indian Giver” that just shows Razah’s lyrical depth and how far he’s progressed since his days apart of Sunz of Man and has carried that torch on this tracks and the rest album follow suits. Even with “Born and Raised” makes a candid display of his upbringing in Brooklyn and with hip hop and how much it means to him as a fan and as an artist. Even nowadays it’s rare that production matches the albums very tight knit lyrical theme Razah’s known for. And rarely does he show this more than on “Renaissance Ages” and on “Kicks of Raziel” where just spits fire where the various rhymes and lines speaks to the listener and the potential artist in hand that we have to take back the art form we created in the streets and reshape it because we are the upcoming generation that will soon be the powers that be. And that’s just my opinion on Razah’s lyrics and what he means.
Overall this album is very solid I was very skeptical to give it a 5 out of 5 but I will only due to the fact that there isn’t any skippable tracks and or material on this album. And even the skits are listenable because they piece the album together and give it slightly an insight on the theme of the album. This album is required listening if you’re a lyrical head like myself and if you not this is proof of what a consistent play all the way through album should sound like.
Overall Rating: 5 out 5
