The mercury’s still tipping in LA, 80-something degrees in the gut of January, evidence of global warming and the hothouse effect of three million weed smokers (due to insomnia, right Doc 420?). Last week, I was stalking the no longer mean streets of New York, braving 20 degree weather to frequent Formica-counter diners and smoke spliffs with Dan Love in Astoria, Queens. You know how the British do. The only sensible listening options were Roc Marciano and Mobb Deep. Nothing else I listened to was worth a damn.
So to palliate the sorrows of those suffering through the black capillaries of a rough season, Mister Cee, Havoc and Prodigy understand your pain and will teach you how to FOLD YOUR BANDANNA PROPER. This is music to chew glass to, best heard with a glass of Tanqueray and your finest dirt nasty New York weed. Consider the gems dropped.
