The title of this compilation could have just as easily been called Superproducin’ – Great Beats. That’s not to take anything away from the all-star caliber of this diverse rhyme roster, but how fat would this sound acapella?

That said, it’s obvious they decided that as long as the album was going to be called Superrappin’ that they’d BETTER do it right by enlisting the best beatmasters of indie hip-hop — and so they did., as you’ll be feeling these grooves. Shawn J. Period laces a real gem for El Da Sensei on his solo debut, accompanied by the likes of Mike Zoot , F.T. (Fuc That) of Street Smartz, and Organized Noize on “Frontline”. Ed O.G. gets put on the scene again with some excellent help courtesy DJ Spinna on “Let’s Be Realistic”. Brixx gets some help from Mos Def on the rhymes and Mr. Walt (Beatminerz) on the beats on “If It’s Alright Y’all”; Consequence and friends rip open the ’99 soundclash “Nobody”; The ever improving Cali Agents , Rasco and Planet Asia ask “How Many X’s”; and and so on. There’s very little on this collection that isn’t at least above average musically, and some of it is so excellent that it will just get you WIDE OPEN.

As for the rhymes, there’s no reason to front — these are indeed some Super Rappin MC’s.  If you follow independent hip-hop you probably know a lot of these names already: Choclair , High & Mighty , Lootpack , Punch & Words , The Jigmastas, – et cetera.  Even the unfamiliar names got something to spark.  Eddie Brock drops a clever joint full of alliteration on “Relax, Relate, Release (R^3)”; while Mathematik flows smoothly with Philly femme fatale Bahamadia on “Following Goals”.  Most of the rhymes are so good that in the words of High & Mighty, “even hard rocks say that kid was nice”.

There’s no reason to front on this album. If you love independently produced hip-hop from MC’s who explode with flavor like a Starburst, then this collection can quench your cravings. Big ups to Groove Attack for getting all these people in the same place at one time for one album. Get this joint and show your love for the next generation of hip-hop’s most Super-Rappers and Producers.
