Bust No Moves EP
Mass Appeal
2015
Rating: 8 house scourers out of 10
Yes, this Run the Jewels EP was released months ago for Record Store Day, but I never get to anything on time. Big surprise - this collection of songs fuckin' kills; this duo can seemingly do no wrong right now. "Pew Pew Pew," featuring DJ Qbert, is as strong as anything they've ever released, equal parts new shit and a throwback to hiphop of the late eighties/early nineties...it's time for scratching to come back! Title track "Bust No Moves" sounds like lyrical syrup, just drippy, especially the chorus from Cuz. "Blockbuster Night Part 2" is likely the predecessor to part one from "Run the Jewels 2" only lyrically, because it doesn't actually sound anything like it. Possibly the most interesting track is "Love Again (Akinyele Back)," which is exactly like the same song from the last full-length, until the final verse when Gangsta Boo flips it up and talks about oral stimulation from the female point of view. Yeah, it's been done before, but it's done real damn well here.
This vinyl is already getting expensive, so grab one if you see it. Otherwise, cop the tracks online.
