Old School Hip-Hop Review - YZ - The Best Of

1995 - (Tuff City Records) - To those who don't know who this brother is you are out of the loop. YZ is a man that has put smooth and intelligent rhymes down to a science. This album is a collection of YZ's work from his first album "In Control Of Things" and a few songs that came out on a EP he released sometime after that. If you remember the song "Tower With The Power", it puts you in a feel good mood to carry you throughout the day. I had been a fan of YZ since he came into the game in the early 90s. This best of record is packed with jams to make you think about how it used to be back in the days. I give YZ a 10 with this album because he stepped out of the realm of guns and gold and into the area and conscience rap. For that he deserves a high mark. So go out and try to find this rare piece of work and add it to your collection of history that is destined to be timeless.
