Oakland's best kept secret since Too $hort, Unified School District continue to make noise with this 8 song follow up to their debut "Think Hard" 12" (which dropped earlier this year and featured Declaime). U.S.D. once again come correct with this limited edition EP to show the world they are here to stay. Ecto's thick, sample-heavy sound and robust drums stretch out a colorful canvas for Super Ugly to paint.
On tracks like "John Hurt", where conventional methods and mediocre melodies are destroyed by the Elephant Man who proves here that "life's not pretty, so why should the music be." In the tradition of a Diamond D blues break or a distorted J-Dilla bassline, and employing the vocal talent equal to M.F. Doom or El-P, the alumni from the breezy bay stay focused on constructing a unique, consistent and classic hip hop sound to make sucker crew's Take Warning.
Be on the look out for the "Brokedown Palace" LP and CD dropping in early fall 2006. Metal, Wax and Plastic, that's it!
