?[lV- <.? jc% Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
P ! _rEV astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
=z
/dcC$r full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
8#g1P4 of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
9_5ow it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
^t#&@-'(d $\U4hHOo Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
c-0#w= only in the last 12 months that things have really
>o=-$gz` taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
#}y2
)g Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
BGX.U\uc Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
{.INnFGP@) NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
nX`u[ks they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
]@u6HH~^ exciting artists in America right now'.
RtM8yar+sn EU+S^SyZi It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
h3xAJ! that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
h[@tZ(jrY that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
9'X7wG it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
z.;ez}6%V gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
mmk=97 philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
#iHs*
/85 night''.
O[ef#R! Fkd+pS\9g~ Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
%Da1(bBh girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
(O(}p~s Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
jr:7?8cH0L with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
_y}
T/I9 attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
bl&nhI)w Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
tu66'z multiply it by ten.
*(T:,PY [UWdW These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
ElW~48 ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
1^}[&ar Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
|$
lM#Ua this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
=h5H~G5AT AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
/k,-P Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
kZGRxp9 Tq[kl'_ They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
0i\M,TNf* the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
-^hWM}F cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
2`N,
, Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
I$Op:P6.E equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
Zm_UR*"
breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
}%{LJ}\Px Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
i\r
Du^VQ powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
kTu[ y; challenging listen which will more than reward
FwkuC09tI those brave enough to try it.
