Daddy money delivers with intricate block beats filled with flips as full as east coast has ever been. Kamal takes you into the fastlane, buying drinks, running chicks and wastin' big ballers. The man and his crew are tops when they hit their mark head on; cut "The Money" outmatches much of it's competition and "Real Playas" is a homage to a lifestyle, one called Kamal. You've got krunk bass with multi-line driven polyphony everwhere on this 18 song album. If it's the boom you want, Kamal has definitely got it. Subsonics pour out over a bubbling brew of samples with Kamal providing push with rich poetic vibe. At times his bunch gets too many words in and the flow can get congested, like a veteran racer though they pull out from the crowd and reach glory. "Pimps and Hustlers" is slammin' street dope, turning fame into fortune, Kamal the biggest pimp of them all. World wide domination is within this guy's reach, you can feel it and smell it, a piece of killer in your psycho-drama. The real kicker though, as Kamla explains fully in "Watcha Wanna Do", he raps for fun, doesn't give a fuck what you think about him, and can swing a real job like he means it. Most impressive is that for someone who just hits the mike for "fun", he obviously knows his shit above par, not afraid to lay it thick, and make it stick. The true-to-the-underground lean distortion, and at time a lapsing meter might turn off the kids used to slick overproduced guano emitting from the music mafia. Beat heads don't give too much thought to what's missing, with Kamal there is enough representin' in true form to show talent, not just flash. I'd say there are at least five singles on this album, something for any G who can spin a mix, and for everyone who gives a listen. Hook it.
