Starting off the CD is “We’ve Built A Time Machine That Runs On Beats, We Shall Only Use It For Good.” First off, that is the best title for a track I have ever heard. Secondly as soon as the piano accommodates the vocals on this track I find myself sucked into the song. I love the way Kid Static’s voice flows throughout the track.
“Speak The Facts,” my favorite cut, is traditional fun hip-hop at its finest. The beats remind me of Beastie Boys mixed with Blackalicious making for some great sounds. A track to check out if you like lyrical performances are “The Basement/Enfant Terrible” as Kid Static seems to be reminiscing his childhood memories. “Duck, Mother Fuckers!” and “The Life Here” are also a couple of choice tracks waiting for your interest.
Now if you are into the crazy experimental beats, “Low Budget Battle Scene” should tickle your fancy. For a second there I thought I was hearing Kid Koala during this track. “Revel In The Aftermath” also is an interesting instrumental masterpiece.
This is a smart, fun, hip-hop album that I was not expecting. They do not appear to be making this music for the fame or for the glory, assume them as a less high profile act with a ton of potential. To some their sound may be like oil and water, to others is maybe a cure to the hip-hop blahs. If you have been drained out or are sick of all the commercial hip-hop that engulfs MTV these days, Yea Big + Kid Static might be the therapy for you.
