This review is from: Hesitation Wounds (Audio CD)

Take two Chicharones LIVE in Las Vegas. Two of The Chicharones can entertain the stage with dramatic ad-libs in Presidential Nixon mask and Hunter S. Thompson bandanas, tie-dye, tiparillo cig, engaging, charismatic vocals and skratching that can be adapted to house turntables in mechanical, modern marvel. Their interaction, humour and reminiscing to historial reminders add a believably hilarious presence.

But take Sleep, the 3rd Chicharone, Solo here, produced by greats like Leon West, Smoke, Zavala, Reanimator and Pale Soul, his dark motif of troubled youth grasped from self-experience, add Toni Hill, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Scott Preston, and GraySkul; And the higher, wonderous variety of DJ Z-One's upbeat, unique manual dexterity from being a professional close-up musician, integrated into beat juggling tactics and what you get is something incredibly wild and new.

These miraculously unique ballads, foreshadowing memories of stress and suffering in youth, Iambic Pentameter (shades of Deniro and Pacino "Righteous Kill"), and positive growth in spiritual realm of today's dwindling supply yet suffering world, bring hope and spirit to the change urban and rural areas in every country endure simultaneously in common hip-hop thread. The spirit of oneness and wholeness in their team unity permeates their idealogy and brings a commonality of theme, making the choruses particularly enthralling in hook and pleasant, smooth, energetic music you can listen to over and over and derive something new and enjoyable each time.

A FABULOUS COMPILATION in today's mp3 market!
