Date Of Birth

Nu slechts € 9,99 On the sophomore release from this Brooklyn underground trio (surfacing here as Jise, Q-Unique, and Swel 79), the Arsonists continue to swim away from the mainstream, not in a calculated manner as some backpackers do to try to make a name, but because for these self-proclaimed hip-hop pyromaniacs, this is the only way to make their music. As a result, many hip-hop luminaries have taken notice, including the legendary Chuck D, who at one time quipped: ''When you see a group like the Arsonists out there, they're better than what any major label has got.'' Living by KRS-One's immortal credo -- ''Rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live'' -- the Arsonists set fire to many a microphone and drum machine on Date of Birth. Again sticking to their largely in-house production protocol (though the Beatnuts' Psycho Les drops a burner on ''Self Righteous Spics''), flaming arrows are fired on the rollicking ''Space Junk'' and the classical piano-infused ''Alive.'' But these are mere warm-up acts for two of the more memorable underground tracks in recent memory: the hilariously sharp ''Millionaire,'' a slick, hip-hop parody of Regis Philbin's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game show, and ''Language Arts,'' a blazing combination of kabuki theater strings and Akira Kurosawa film aesthetic. While the album lapses occasionally with a couple of patches of redundant production, Date of Birth is a strong follow-up from a crew who keep it real by nature. ~ M.F. DiBella
