This is what happens when you put three of the dopest underground emcees with one of the most talented producers in hip hop. Polyrhythm Addicts is the answer to those missing Tribe Called Quest.----------------------------------------------------------------------- The beats on this album are provided by DJ Spinna, one of the most underrated producers in this game. The soundscape is reminiscent of Tribes' Midnight Marauder with a splash of Pete Rock induced vibes. Which leaves you with a mellow, jazzy type feel. On most albums you can't say every track is worth the listen, but Rhyme Related is definitely the exception. Every track is laced with dope beats with equally dope rhymes.-------------------------------------------------------------- The rhymes are brought to you by Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mr. Complex, and Apani B. Fly. All of which are some of the dopest that underground hip hop has to offer. Shabaam Sahdeeq is featured on Soundbombing II, and is releasing his own LP late this year. Shabaam's style is versatile and has a dope freestyle feel to it. Mr. Complex has a more rugged style that compliments Shabaam. Last but not least is Apani B. Fly, aka the female emcee. She flows with intelligence and confidence. All these emcees individual have had underground hits but together they put most groups to shame.-------------------------------------------------------------------- The only problem with this LP is that it was way too short. You get ten tracks but one is an intro and the other is an instrumental, which is still pretty dope.---------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope the masses get a chance to listen to this LP because it's well deserving of your money. It's a breath of fresh air from the stagnent scent of what most hip hop albums have become-wack.

This is a party album. Fun and bouncy, but really sophisticated. These folks are formalists. Like jazz musicians, it's all about the music. The topics ain't nothing new, it's how it's done. Polyrhythm Addicts have a incredible understanding of the spoken word, the voice, and the rhythm. They pull off some of the trickiest rhymes I've heard in quite a while. This is a short and sweet album that won't collect dust.

Spinna is the most underrated producer in the game. He finds rediclious samples, some of his loops are just mind blowing. Apani is one of the best emcees (male or female) out. While her voice reminds me of a younger Roxane Shante', she is so nice on the mic. S Double has much lyrical ability. You even get a guest spot from the incomperable lord Phroah Monch. The formula here works well, beyond well even. But there's a downside to all this, the lp is bairly 35 minutes long. Indeed you'll be wishing for more. With S double in jail for a good long while, I don't think we'll be seeing a follow up, which is a shame. I can only hope Apani B releases a solo album soon, oh and she marries me!

This albums is overall raw...but it only about 30 minutes long. This should be an EP, not an LP. Regardless, it's worth the price, especially if you like raw beats. The lyricists, Apani B. Fly, Mr. Complex, and Shabaam Shadeeq are by far no rookies on the microphone. This album brings back the pure Hip Hop you once heard around 92 or 93. Definately one of the best of 1999. Again the only real flaw is that it is 10 tracks....and about 30 min long.

"DJ Spinna, the winner, he's no beginner / Choppin' up beats for you to eat for dinner

this "supergroup" of three great mc's like shabam , complex and the great apani b, and the amazing dj spinna have created a deep shopisticated cd which you must give credit to. why is there a bitter feeling in the air when u hear it then? first of all the lenth - only 35 minutes of music, even great music, is not enough. personnaly i feel that there is much more potential in this gang that can create an amazing cd in the future. i'm waiting.

For anyone who is looking for a CD full of quality tracks, this is for you. This is the best CD ive heard in a looong time. It's got good beats, and the sort of loops and samples you hum along to. There is no trace of the usual sell-out feeling like the mainstream these days. This is real hip-hop. This is the first collaboration that has even touched some of the records from back in the days of the native tounges. Every track is straight out quality hip-hop. dj spinna represents on track 6, 'NO LIMIT'. 'BIG PHAT BOOM', "TAKE ME HOME", and "NOT YOUR ORDINARY" are all amazing, even more so than every other track on the CD. The production is tight on all the tracks. the lyrics are also interesting, but in my opinion, its the production that really stands out. Just the sounds alone on this CD are bangin. The forces of these four em-cees have combined to create a hip-hop masterpiece. Any hip-hop fan can find some apreciation for this CD, even if its just out of respect for the production, let alone the content of the songs. If your looking for spaztic em-cees and mean bass lines, its not here, but if you want some laid back quality hip-hop, i say go buy this CD. Even if you have any doubts, trust me, just buy it.

Spinna's melodically chimed music juxtaposed with tight beats creates a laid back, unpolished album. Polyrhythm has the best lady-rapper I ever heard in my life and she outshines her two male counterparts. As a bassist my jaw dropped from the lightning fast plucking on Motion 2000. I must say, their are few good hooks in the songs besides the music itself, which I'm not saying is bad, it's just a heads up; don't expect pop-rap. While the album's 30 minute length is the only downfall it's well worth the purchase because good rap is hard to find.

Polyrhythm addicts got the best beats around. Song after song they keep it real with a phat beat. Also there lyrics are tight to. This is a good cd to buy if your lookin for some real good hip hop. If you like groups like Tribe Called Quest, or Pharcyde, or De La Soul, this is the group for you. I give these guys big props for them tight beats. peace
