You may remember Krumb Snatcha from Gang Starr’s quotable “Make Em Pay” off the Moment Of Truth LP Or you may remember last years’ Snatcha Season EP, featuring the wonderfully DJ Premier produced anti-guns anthem “Closer To God”. Bringing it back in ’99, Krumb delivers some of his most solid material yet, most notably, “Killer In Me” which features him ripping shit over a dope array of sampled violins. “Take The Pain Away” is something I haven’t heard in hip-hop for a long while, as Krumb attacks domestic violence, while at the same time trying to steal shorty away. Production is very reminiscent of Premier on this one, but still sounds good, without sounding like too much of a bite. And, while “Thug In Your Life” wins for corniest title of the year, it actually turns out pretty good. While the lyrics are aimed at the ladies, the track is some ol’ pimp isht, and will probably work as the soundtrack for underground heads’ seductions across the globe.
