"WHO'S ON THE CORNER?"







THE DAY LABORERS - (MAXI SINGLE)
www.myspace.com/thedaylaborers

Coming str8 from New York but its not a borough. The Day Laborers, 2 working class blue collar emcees from Long Island, NY out here on the daily grind of NYC dealing with
the harsh realities of NYC turmoil such as the financial bedlam and record industry bedlam. Despite the ills of 2008 hardship of New York, The Day Laborers, 2 up and coming emcees bought to me a maxi single that I was pleased to hear. I'm always pleased to hear innoviative and creative hip hop. This single may lack creativity to some. You think its outdated or unfinished but in all actuality to me its more of a hip hop tribute. Settin' off the single with the 1st cut, "Came In The Door", using the Rakim lyric sample as the hook. A good way to rep hip hop and Long Island with having your fellow Long Islander on the hook of the song. A good hardcore track to set off the maxi single from that song gives you a direct idea of where the 2 stand. "Burn One f/ Mac Lethal" , a song with a mid 90s hip hop feel. The beat of the song has a sound reminiscent to a Brand Nubian song not sure which one but a song off the "In God We Trust" album. The Day Laborers showing luv to real hip hop by the intro which starts with a diss aimed at the Ying Yang Twins. This is a track where The Day Laborers wants you to clean out you ears and check the words as said by Phife Dawg on the hook. This next song, "When it rains it pours" is probably my favorite one off this single. I would definitely bang dis in da club in fact its already in my serato and ready for my next gig. The song has vocal samples of 3 of my favorite emcees, I want you to sit back listen and tell me if you can name these quotes. "Life can get all up in ur ass", "The jewel gotta have patience plus persistence" and "It's my world and I won't stop". These quotes were blended perfectly for the hook of "When it rains it pours". The last track on this single, "Facing days". "Facing days" has a bluesy feel to it probably the most original track on the single. The Day Laborers have the funk of the beats and mic skillz to solidify themselves a place in hip hop. They may not ever reach a gold and platinum status but The Day Laborers they got sumthin and only time will tell.





M.C. TOO TALL - www.myspace.com/mctootall - www.crownedeagleent.org

This next emcee on the corner of the Brooklyn is a unusual emcee but humorous. MC Too Tall coming str8 outta Marlboro Projects, the Gravesend-Bensonhurst area. I never thought I be rating and reviewing a artist from this part of town. But as this segment goes its to see whats on the corner and what can git off the corner and into record stores worldwide. This is a 2 part single, the 1st songs on the cd are performed by MC Too Tall and last 2 are performed by Mr Danceman. Let's talk about MC Too Tall first with his 1st single, "If you come around my way you might git shot", this single at first listen will have listeners confused. The song sounds more East L. A. than East Coast giving it a boricua style, spanglish rappin w/ comedic humor. Its like a parody of gangsta rap except its not aiming any direct shots at it per say but it gives that sound by the hook and the humorous lyrics of the song. The 2nd single, "Happiness" has a rock, country, blues sounding w/ rap lyrics about gaining happiness by either thru luv and/or money. On this song, MC Too Tall is on a search to find happiness.

This is where the cd shifts gears over to anutha artist on the cd that goes by the name of Mr Danceman that takes up the last 2 parts of the maxi single. This song I know you'll love its a definite club banger its banging in the clubs right now. Its called, "Girls That Swallow", an 80s retro club sound. Not so much of a song More of dance. The chants of "Girls that swallow" being repeated thru out the the interlude. Which lead to the last track of the maxi single, "Ova There" another 80s style club record with no lyrics just a club beat playing as the hook repeats, "Yeah Over There", numerous times. Whoever this Mr Danceman is, he's obviously a producer on the same label as MC Too Tall which lead to this compilation single released by Crowned Eagle Ent.
