Afu Ra’s larger clan, first name-checked by Jeru The Damaja back in the day, finally turn up on record. I don’t have enough details to pinpoint everybody but “Doin’ It” starts with Afu on the verses – nothing new that you haven’t heard from him but it’s pretty good by his own standards. JahDan backs him up on the ragga tip – left me wanting to fast-forward but that’s mostly ’cause I can’t stand the general sound of it. The production is snappy, bearing a fairly close resemblance to the head nod sh*t that Afu tends to get from DJ Premier but this time, it’s Gang DuLyonnais providing the beat. “Perverted-Ness” features some strong lyrical chemistry exhibited by the whole Monks clan. Da Beatminerz bring a decent track – another stripped down banger but I think Mr. Walt and company needed drums with a harder smack to complement the multiple lyrical spears being chucked by the Monks. Compared to Afu’s recent 12″s, this new 12″ is better than “Big Acts, Little Acts” but still not nearly as tight as “D&D Soundclash”.
