Let me start out by saying this is easily one of my favorite albums of all time! The Dynospectrum was an extremely underrated yet highly talented underground rap group from Minneapolis, Minnesota consisting of Beyond aka Musab(General Woundwart), Slug of Atmosphere(Sept Sev Sev Two), Swift of Phull Surkle(Mr. Gene Poole), and I-Self Divine of Micranots(Pat Juba). This extraordinary album was produced in its entirety by none other than the magical early works of Ant which is to this very day one half of Atmosphere. This album being the only one the Dynospectrum has done together, was recorded in a basement and released in 1998. Around that time of underground hip-hop, Minneapolis was building a strong name for themselves in that scene by surfacing some of the most eerie, talented, and intelligent emcees to date. Ant's early production as you may tell if you are familiar with his work, was very raw and gritty sampling some of the darkest jazz that smoothly rides over his divine drum hits creative nothing but classic hip-hop for your listening indulgence. Its a shame these emcees don't collide on tracks like they used to anymore because the lyrical content and supreme delivery brought to the table by these 4 menace's was nothing short of "the real deal holyfield". I can go on about this album for hours but let me just end this discussion with me(Al-Nitty) giving this masterpiece 5 stars and treating you all with an audio preview and download link below. Goto your local bodega and grab the freshest grape dutchess, fill it with some grade-A broccoli and enjoy this dark and eerie ride into the heart of Minneapolis's underground hip-hop scene of the late 90's.
