Candy's .22 - A Girl and Her Gun

Existereo (or Stereo13 as he seems to call himself nowadays) have been one of my favourite emcees for many years. He has both skills and a persona that outshines most people, and his work with The Shape Shifters have forever cemented his legacy as part of one of the best crews of all time. Back in 2005 he joined forces with Barfly to record as Candy's .22. The album Livin La Vida Boo Hoo was filled with Factor produced joints that all held a very high standard. Six years later they have now chosen to work with different producers throughout the album, and I think that was a wise choice. Deeskee, Self Advocate and Scobra amongst others serve up 19 smoking tracks for Stereo13 and Barfly to flow over. As always with these two emcees we get a subject matter dealing with storytelling, drugs, violence, sex, alcohol all served up with a wicked sense of humour. We luckily enough don't get too many guest apperances on the album, but Metfly, Mickey Avalon, Fatlip and 2Mex all do what they do best and lends extra brilliance to the album. Grimm Image Records have definitely delivered once again.

Rating: 4/5
