Tgr,1)T +)"Rv%. Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
M
lR~`B}m astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
hyf
;f7`o full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
?}4,s7PR of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
([dd)QU it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
Nb`qM]& n%7?G=_kj Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
?e<2'\5v only in the last 12 months that things have really
'1gfXC taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
fyb;*hgu Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
=#S.t:HQ* Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
6D`n^ uoP NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
yEI@^8]s they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
BA]$Fi.Mw exciting artists in America right now'.
zR^Gy" Xi98:0<= It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
njaMI8|Pa that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
S-7&$n that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
VE|l;aXi it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
=\WF +r]V gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
f|~ {j(.v philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
o'!=x$Ky night''.
{}$7B p _xp8*2~- Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
yijP girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
}|kFHodo Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
S'jg#*$ with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
tNi>TkC}` attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
|1~n<=`Z Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
No'?8 +i multiply it by ten.
=1l6(pJ ,_Z(!|
rW These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
YNEwX$)M,B ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
v _MQ]X Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
v3I^81 this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
D0r viO AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
uw}
Rr7q Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
CJ
:V %| |`5IP8Z They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
qz-QVY, the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
t;e&[eg cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
h xO}'`: Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
d#g))f; equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
<1D|TrP breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
4I$Y(E} Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
'r?ULft1 powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
cuhp4!! challenging listen which will more than reward
x#>
V50E those brave enough to try it.
