White Wolf Hardkornography Wow, big surprise. Finally I started reading their bio. Thats how I found out why the cd stops playing in your cd-rom drive while working on your Apple. It's a cd-rom! 17 tracks and one video clip called: Speellumaf and Stoppuminjecdromla. (Playit and Putitinyourcdrom). White Wolf's artist P.W.B. and Samp B released already two cd's. Hondsdolheid (Rabbi's) and Bij Nacht en Ontij (hard to translate: in the darkest night en most terrible weather). Since their first cd they enforced the White Wolf crew with C.MC. White Wolf, the name is English and they rap in their native tongue: Dutch. In The Netherlands often called Nederhop by those people who think that HipHop is in the English language. So how would we call MC Solars music, Frenchhop? On Hardkornography they have for the first time a nice grown sound. Experimenting with the beats and the flow. And nice to hear they got more and more musically influence. They've got very different subjects in their lyrics. Some familiar, others very strange. You hear them using their own roots. Vliegende Hollander (Flying dutchman) is one of the best songs. In their vocabulary they are searching for original words and in their metaphores they're locking down old Dutch sayings. Most of them are about ships and the (too) many water that we got in The Netherlands. The songs contain serious lyrics. They are very social minded. You will not find ghetto or street drama. Nor racial matters. That earns a compliment. They talk about what they know and not about what they don't know. A nice album. If you understand Dutch it will even be better. grade: play

DJ P.W.B. also produced a breakbeatz album for Djax records. DJAX Break-beatz vol. 4 by PWB Vol. 4 made by DJ PWB. The DJ of White Wolf. In this serial of records there is always one thing for sure: the covers are an artwork by itself. Vol. 4 is available on cd and vinyl. PWB brings you nice samples and soundbites. Passing by are a lot of old school beats. And some tuff words. From Big Daddy Cane to Derek B. The last 'track' is a scratch number by the man him self. It's nice. Cause we only received one cd and not two vinyl pieces we couldn't spin it at our soundsystem. So that is for you to try. Vol. 1 and 4 really represent the Djax 'nederhop' sound as we know it til this day. One question pops up; when will there be a breakz and beatz LP from DJ Oh Jay/Supa Jah? |
