A lesser known leftfield 90s hip-hop album, but nevertheless hefty in its magnitude, Freestyle Fellowship's 'Innercity Griots' shows off the rap quartet's undeniably advanced MCing and weird bomb-drop beats, worthy of a next-gen listen for any good fans of Cannibal Ox or Deltron 3030. With the original vinyl LP now extremely rare, this reissue by Be With fixes the audiophile's nightmare that hurt the original pressking, and also includes the formerly CD-only track 'Pure Thought'. A nonstop tour through Busta Rhymes-rivalling flows and 'b-boy jazz', the beats on this album are spacey (choice cuts being 'Danger' and 'Hot Potato' - all the cuts are rough and vinyl-edged), unforgiving, and light-years beyond what one might expect from a lesser-known name.
