5.0 out of 5 stars
Raw,
This review is from: Desolate One (Audio CD)
This is one of the best by Just Ice (Kool and deadly is the best). Production is by KRS-ONE and is kept very raw. Just-Ice sounds like he's mad at everything. Best songs are Na touch the just, Time I release and about every other song on the album. Only problem is the albums short length, A MUST HAVE

Just-Ice Continues his Hardcore Style on 3rd LP,
By Hype Currie "scholar of pop culture" (Detroit, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Desolate One (Audio CD)
On this, Just-Ice's 3rd LP (1989), produced by KRS-One of Boogie Down Productions (abetted by D-Nice & DJ Doc Rodriguez), the Bronx-based MC continues his streak of sparsely-adorned rhythm tracks with forceful battle-ready rhetoric (e.g., "Hardhead", "...And Justice for All").
The title track which opens the album, "The Desolate One" samples Earth Wind & Fire's "Can't Hide Love" (perhaps the only obvious sample on the album), and finds Just taking rivals to task lyrically. Just-Ice's baritone fits KRS-One's beat selection quite well, and the artist flexes his reggae influence on several songs, like "Na Touch Da Just", "Hijack" and "Ram Dance Hall Sessions" (featuring Heavy D). "Welfare Recipients" criticizes welfare culture, but it's not clear if the artist is being satirical or condemning. This re-release by Traffic Entertainment includes one bonus track, "It's Time I Release". 1. The Desolate One 2. ...And Justice For All 3. Hardhead 4. Welfare Recipients 5. Na Touch Da Just 6. In the Jungle 7. Hijack 8. Ram Dance Hall Session w/ Heavy D 9. It's Time I Release |
