Tri State Clicc consists of two rappers, Kansas' Mister Bilistic and Kentucky's Swoop, joined by Missouri vocalist Mylinn Brimm. The band members work on tracks separately, sending works-in-progress back and forth until finished. The result is a unique mixture of hardcore lyrics, soulful singing and drawling beats that creep along like a Lowrider on a Sunday afternoon. "Dead End Blues" is the band's "C.R.E.A.M," with a haunted house of slow rhythms and spooky keyboards serving as backdrop for Bilistic and Swoop to swap suicidal rhymes as Brimm's mournful church voice wails behind them. It's the opening moment (and the title track) of the album and its a tough one to top, as perfect a rap tune as you're likely to hear this year. Though Tri State's production is a bit thin in spots, the band's focus is clearly on lyrical swordplay, and the trio deliver like champs. "Kill Em all" is a verbal assault on the senses, stuttering and stammering like Uzi spray, culminating in a wild-out guest verse from Brand-X. "Bringing Back the Funk" is a booty-shaking crunk fest that lives up to its name, pounding knee deep bass and jamming like Smuckers. Mostly though, the band's worldview is grim and the Tri State MCs rap at length about problems personal and societal, spitting true tales of depression and ghetto strife. Song titles such as "Earth is Hell," "Rainy Dayz" and "Misery Stricken" tell it all Tri State won't be popping up in a Disney movie anytime soon. That's probably a good thing, as the band's real strength lies in its ability to create sonic movies for the mind. And they're not rated-G.
Eine Hammer cd kann ich echt jedem nur empfehlen hat auch nen richtiges underground feeling... gerade geil find ich diesen Mylinn Brimm also den Sänger der Gruppe der gibt dem ganzen teils echt edle Anstriche... die Raps der beiden anderen sind top ... wirds gerne orginal hben... habs nur in bischen schlechter quali ... glaube mal nciht das das orginal auch so schlecht aufgenommen ist
