Album Review

2 Skinnee J's major-label debut, Super Mercado, finds the underground hip-hop group losing none of their power as they make the leap to the big leagues. The production is a little cleaner, but the beats and rhymes still hit hard. Occasionally, the group's kitschy pop culture references grate, but on the whole, the album is an impressive collection of hardcore rap that finds the middle ground between Public Enemy and Cypress Hill. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The debut release from New York cult band The 2 Skinnee J's is a fun and intelligent mixture of hip-hop, rock, funk and pop culture. Altough evocative at times of other rap-rock fusion groups, the J's are an entity all their own, dishing super-heroes on "Ball-Point Man" and delivering a full-throated geek call-to-arms on "Riot Nrrd". Long-time fans will love the new and improved recordings of "The Best," "Champion" and their tribute to Brooklyn living, 718," as well as the appearance of concert standards like "Pluto" and "The Good, The Bad & The Skinnee". Lyrically, frontmen J Guevera and Special J drop more sly and often obscure references than an episode of The Simpsons. If your idea of a good time includes rhymes about Old Jedi mind tricks, Bhoutros Bhoutros Gahli, and Shazam! layered on top of loud drums and wah-wah guitars, these are the J's you're looking for. --Andrew Boscardin
