Quick Blast: Army Of The Pharaohs


A.O.T.P are one of the reasons I still bother trawling through new-age hip-hop.

The undergound super-group, often cited as the modern Wu-Tang, possesses a roster boasting of lyrical masters such as Apathy, Reef The Lost Cauze, Vinnie Paz and Esoteric (to name only a few). You always know what you are going to get with A.O.T.P.; consistent, yet genius, battle-rap. However Suicide Girl (from their new LP The Unholy Terror) offers an alternative direction. Apathy accompanies his ending verse by lending a hand on the boards; A retrospective, strings-driven beat which compliments the slightly more contentious issue of suicide.

Gravediggaz heads: Listen out for the reference – don’t worry, it’s unmissable.
