Album Review

The first release on the rejuvenated Rawkus label, 5 Sparrows for 2 Cents is the second album from the Procussions, a self-contained trio from Colorado. The group's website mentions something about rewriting the rules of rap, but it's not stated what those rules are; no matter what they might be, the group isn't offering anything out of the ordinary. They sound exactly like the kind of group that should be on Rawkus — lots of mic-swapping verses leading into amped-up group chant choruses, functional beats that occasionally excite, and sloganeering galore. It's apparent that the group places a limitless value on the East Coast rap of the late '80s and early '90s, as well as those who have followed the path since, such as Jurassic 5 and several other Rawkus favorites of the late '90s and early 2000s. They're passionate, they have integrity, and they want to let you know that they have a purpose. While the album is spirited and competent, not much of it is memorable.

Give It To Them

it's sad that this only has 1 review. this is what I call good music, not the crap they play on the radio.

What Hip Hop Should Be

Lyric wise, there's a strong message about social ills in America focusing on a message to the youth and media. Most tracks are so full of quotables, it's like they were ripped straight out of a sermon. Amen to that! Fast paced urban plight is addressed on "Carousel", idolism on "For the Camera", and Mr. J ends out the album with a personal story of caring for a harlot on "American Fado." Most potent address of an issue for me was in "Little People," a haunting track about the effects of neglecting our children. At the end of that track, Res speaks for a father who questions "what kind of man am I, what kind of mother are you, what kind of life did we subject a child to?" It's these kind of messages need to be spoken about in the music we choose to hear, which makes this album a fresh breath of air. Much props to The Procussions showing truth in love, walking us through a Christ-like perspective and not just chanting it out. For all it's diversity across the board, it's hard to pin this album down to a simple definition. But make no mistake though, this is no departure from the art, this is where Hip Hop should be. - TheUpperground.com
