G'}%m;-mt 6Q>:g"_ Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
$N:m
9R astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
d=N5cCqq full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
aH,0+ | of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
Eu1s it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
Kze\|yJ {K_YW Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
h`&mW w only in the last 12 months that things have really
4>$>XL1 taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
"2Js[uf Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
LOR$d^l Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
BU]9eF!>h NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
vJ
mE} they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
]5rEwPB exciting artists in America right now'.

Fp )/Ih It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
~`8`kk8 that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
)5'S=av9 that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
e,:@c3I it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
"4n_MV>p gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
c|96;=z~ philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
;h0?o*i_ night''.
]*I&104{ L{<E'#@F Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
lZ/Yp~2S girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
3u+~!yz Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
-L1{0{Z with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
d=H C;T) attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
(fY (- Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
O_KL#xo multiply it by ten.
:N%]<Mq <=^YIp These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
g0_8:Gs}^ ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
~(4cnD)BO Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
*<s|WLMG this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
Rz*%(2Vz AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
T9N /;3 Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
TpZ)v.w~l7 ?ry`+nx They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
/d8P
Dc " the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
mA3C)V cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
f>l}y->-Ug Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
:2K0/@<x equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
sh E>gTe breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
o D:?fs] Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
z1(rHJd powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
?w /tq! challenging listen which will more than reward
=#n|t[h- those brave enough to try it.
