Edited 6 years agodoes meiso mean 'maze' or 'meditation' in japanese, thank you to anyone out there who can enlighten me here !

Krush's third album and dope as always, there are few more guests on this album compared to the Krush album and of course the Strickly album. C L smooths lyrics sit perfectly on only the strong and is a great opener, most of the instrumental tracks are your typical lazy but extremely tight drifting krush tracks, Black thought rips on meiso, Shadows contribution on the second half of duality crashes in in typical shadow style of the time with heavy mpc drum hit edits.
The production is spot on, sample selections are great, krush has a great nack for using / sampling parts off a record that most of us would skip past, the track programming is well thought out and flows beautifully although it all ends rather quickly. Meiso is the perfectly marriage of vocal tracks and dusted instrumentals and I may get lynched here but the fact is krush had three lps two of which were on a very much smoked out subtle instrumental tip before shadow released endtroducing.
