Muziek - Rise Of The Champion Nation

Rise Of The Champion Nation

Nu slechts € 13,99 Rise of the Champion Nation is music of its early 21st century era, in that it's not just difficult to pin it down to a style, but also to attribute the work to specific performers. Resurrector & Patch are credited with production, writing, and performance, with additional contributions in all those categories by Totter Todd, and scratches by DJ i11 Naughty. They might be at the heart of this booming, sometimes dub-reggae-flavored hip-hop, but a whole lot of others contribute vocals and lyrics to the 15 tricks, KRS-One being the most celebrated of the lot. A manifesto of sorts titled ''The Liberation Process'' in the packaging seems to announce that this is an endeavor devoted to freedom and expression. That could be, but for such lofty intentions, the mood is pretty glum. Criss-crossing electronic bleeps, chattering beats, and low pulsations are at the core of the sound. These project a rather barren landscape for the vocalists to poetically, if largely abstractly, expound upon grinding sociocultural frustrations to be overcome and transcended. There's enough variety in the modulations and vocalizations to sustain interest for those who get into such creations on a purely sonic level, but at over 71 minutes, it's difficult to keep involved in whatever thread the confluence of forces might be trying to construct. Lady K's soulful, shiveringly spiritual vocals on ''Trouble'' add some welcome warmth, while A.P.O.S.T.L.E.'s rap on ''Warrior Divination Three'' is the most reggae-like contribution to the effort. ~ Richie Unterberger
