Audible Treats Audio Stream: Iller Than Theirs "Girl Song"
08.08.2007
"Come on shake that intelligence! Work that self-respect, giiiirl!"
The Song:
Perhaps the most impressive part of "Girl Song" is that it's at once completely bananas as well as just one of eleven tracks that could potentially act as the single off Iller Than Theirs' debut LP. With a dusty flute and pounding pianos characteristic of some of The Beatnuts' better work, emcees Krayo and Tone Tank have near flawless production at their disposal. Needless to say, they take full advantage - discussing female oriented topics ranging from girls' elusive nature to Iller Than Theirs' "game" and lack thereof. While much of the content is honest and humble, humor seeps through into the hook ("don't need no picket fences/ don't need your daddy's blessings/ rather picture you undressin'") and after the last verse ("Come on shake that intelligence! Work that self-respect, giiiirl!"). Not an album - or song - to sleep on in 2007.
The Background:
Both Krayo and Tone Tank are Brooklyn-bred rappers whose art is hip-hop and whose craft is well honed. Part of the Nuk Fam collective that also spawned Junk Science, Iller Than Theirs brought in DJ Snafu, Scott Thorough, and J. Howells Werthman for production on their self-titled debut album, and Mastah Ace and Cool Calm Pete join the party to drop verses as well. This collection of ill rhymes will arrive on September 25, courtesy of Embedded Music. True to the Nuk Fam style, Iller brings intelligent rhymes that hold up to the closest inspection, and classic-sounding boom-bap beats that don't fade in the sunlight. Audible Treats is giving you the sneak peek right now, with the track "Razor Bumps."
