MARY MARY MARY IT'S ME (1992)

'hip hop soul'- the collage is undoubtedly rap- grimy, heavy, nocturnal- the singer is undoubtedly skilled/soulful, but displays no desire to transcend the hip hop foundations she's been given. rather there's a chill atmospheric synthesis more often favoured by only the most boom bap loving emcees of this era.

Sing it if you want a better way of life! (1989)

IN HAIKUS-

People of the world today
Scratch the tops of their heads and
Sort of wince at this

Ball sweat from bball
Played a Japanese guy who
Was as bad as me

Offered him a beer
He declined but tried to sell
Me cigarettes and

I was like 'I don't
smoke and I have no money'
He needed money

His friend was meant to
Pick him up at the airport
But never showed up

I winced at that too
Having read the description
Of 'wince' which before

I was ignorant
Of evidently because
This record goes hard

In fact if I see
It around I will buy it
You don't have to though

If you don't want to
Here's a dropcanvas link for
Your troubles, love you

Have a good night and a great weekend
