This review is from: Rude Awakening (Audio CD)

After the name change to Cocoa Brovas nothing much has changed... Tek and Steele still ripp it hardcore on the mic. While not a classic like "Dah Shinin", mainly because of the absenace of the Beatminerz, it still holds up very well, course lyrically. Stand-out cuts: the classic "Black Trump" fea Raekwon, "The Cash", "WON on WON", "Blow my Mind".

3.0 out of 5 stars I got a letter from the corporate the other day..., April 22, 1999

This review is from: Rude Awakening (Audio CD)

Good comeback after their classic first album and their legal troubles with their name, etc. The lyrical skills are there (steele especially -- tek's nasal voice and preoccupation with bob marley get annoying), and there are several great songs on this album, but there are also a few clunkers and a couple with the dreaded R&B choruses the BCC has suddenly become fond of. Overall it's better than most rap releases that get a lot more attention than this, but no one should even consider buying this album unless they already own the classic, "dah shinin".
