Editorial Reviews

The Pittsburgh, PA duo of Charon Don and DJ Huggy aka Hands Down, match one of Hip Hop's most up-and-coming MCs with one of Hip Hop's most up-and-coming producers. Best known for his role in Chief Kamachi's Juju Mob, Charon Don has been featured on a number of projects in the past few years, while DJ Huggy has been staying busy doing production for the likes of Black Rob, Baby of Cash Money, Sean Price, Camp Lo, MC Eight and many others. "Art Of Life" features a star studded guest list which includes Lil Scrappy (of Lil' Jon's BME Recordings and G-Unit fame), Rah Digga (Flipmode Squad), Killah Priest, Reef The Lost Cauze, Wiz Khalifa, Chief Kamachi and more. "Art of Life" is a solid Hip Hop album that will not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Hip-Hop Album You Haven't Heard of, December 18, 2007

This review is from: Art of Life (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed Charon Don & DJ Huggy's Art Of Life, surprised that this is the first review and Hip-Hop fans have not been exposed to the excellent duo of Charon Don who does the MC'ing and DJ Huggy who amazed me in literally every track with such beautful production.

It has the touches and characteristics of a classic Indie album: creative, lyrically-focused, and Sick Jacken-resembling. I never heard of Charon Don before listing to his rapping on this album. You would think he is a Wu-Tang product from his rap style and the Killah Priest collaboration on "Observers." The poetry is out of this world and DJ Huggy instantly became one of my favorite producers, almost in the same realm as DJ Premier and J Dilla.

This is a must-have album, only 4 stars because of the inconsistency in some tracks. My favorites included Charon Don ft. Reef The Lost Cauze - "Just Wanna Know", Charon Don ft. Dynamiq - "Ghetto", and Charon Don - "Free". Cop it.
