d astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
BRa9j:_b full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
^xgqs $`7 of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
Vr@tSc& it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
R^mkQb>m. |c>.xt~ Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
c^r WS&)P only in the last 12 months that things have really
6RG63+G taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
,^7]F"5 Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
VsJKxa4 Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
FJ{/EloF NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
&2Ef:RZF they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
wPX^P exciting artists in America right now'.
JZK93R 7GTDe'T It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
CpB,L that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
CH#K0hi that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,

mULUi XjdHH.) S These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
G[*z,2Kb> ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
7l ,f Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
V;W{pd-I this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500

0@[*~H0{n 6#AEVRJKU@ They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
'oK oF the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
p/88mMr cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
Dw.I<fns^B Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
5F!Qn\{u{ equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
`*elzW breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
ak-agH Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
