    genre                   Hip Hop

Hip Hop straight out of the mother city. The band consists of Digger Barnes (ex Moodphase5ive front man) and Bang Bang on rhymes while MRMO (Mofunk) is djing, beatmaking and producing. They have been together for 3 years and have between them released more than 20 tracks independently or as the band. Best described as escapist blue collar hip hop with funk and jazz influences, the 3 piece have been working hard to perfect their live appearances.

Smart Casual is the type of album best taken with a healthy pinch of salt, its light-hearted demeanour is evident from the start and although heavily laden with sexual innuendo does contain some quality songs. It holds a good tempo with Rofskandaal being a favourite. The little interludes and samples are amusing and fit in well with the sleazy slow jams but unfortunately the vocals seem out of tune at times which detracts from the funny and sometimes intelligent lyrical content - the mere fact that the group sing a couple of songs in Afrikaans is commendable. Although Hip Hop in general has moved away from a being cutting edge genre, the fact remains that millions still love the music and with that in mind I see this album doing well in some sectors. This is the ideal pre-party album but don�t expect it to become a chart topper. Tracks like Friday Jones may become popular as the summer months approach, so why not check it out and decide for yo�self!
