(R,NV3m?w
A>H*`{} Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
$>nkGb%Kp astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
4S^ full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
"9TxK6 of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
U.d'a~pH it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
UUZ6N ZQI S$Ns8= Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
9@kcK only in the last 12 months that things have really
X+/{%P!w taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
Jii?r*"d Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
-WQ_[t9l Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
ScM}m NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
O_qu;Dx! they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
sj#{TTW exciting artists in America right now'.
*7)S%r,? .LWOM8) It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
8}ii3P y that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
p)K9ZI that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
aE%eJ)+K it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
tU8g(ep,o gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
!E4E' I=]N philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
tn(f rccy night''.
i!s~kk ;a#}fX Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
"US"`a2 girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
Y8x(#qp, Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
*>?):-9"6N with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
;LwFbkOuU attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.

\VoB=Ac& multiply it by ten.

vE^h}~5U this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500

3 AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
Rfkzv=<"X Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
>w%d'e$ z226yNlS They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
>$#*`6R the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
M6@'9E]|> cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
~(Ih~/5\^ Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
Hsd|ka$x> equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
*l-Dh: breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
U*` Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
6qz!M powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
,f-T1v" challenging listen which will more than reward
#QJ4o_ those brave enough to try it.
