ORGANIZED KONFUSION Vinilo y CD

Review: First released in 2020 as a CD compiling their best demos first submitted for Disney's short-lived hip-hop label, Hollywood BASIC, 'The Demos' (now on LP) is an ultra lo-fi look back on some of Organized Konfusion's best work. The Queens two-piece (made up of members Prince Po and Rawkus Records affiliate Pharoahe Monch) tended to focus their efforts on the harder-edged, warring and lyrical side of '90s hip-hop, thematically building their ideas on the hot topics of the day - such as industrial-prison complexes and mean streets. Masterful in its flows and delivery, tracks such as 'Mind Over Matter' bring a mood of severity mirroring Britcore, while jazzier cuts also poke through, such as 'Audience Pleasers'.
