Duck
Down’s swinger Sean Price has been the consistent MC from the camp to put out
joints after joints. Fans have been waiting for this album for five years after
his first two stellar albums “Monkey Bars” and “Jesus Price Superstar”. One
half of Heltah Skeltah under the alias Ruck, part of the super group Boot Camp
Clik and one third of Random Axe, Sean Price once again comes out swinging with
the highly anticipated album “Mic Tyson”.
Mic Tyson is s heavy hitting boxing
fight album with every punch hitting the opponent in every part of his body.
The tracks are buzzing from start to finish. The Alchemist track “Genesis of
the Omega” is a perfect way to start off the album. Tracks like “Bar-Barian”
and “Pyrex” show Sean Price’s superior delivery wordplay. Producer Amp brings
out the grittier side of Sean Price with DJ scratches making this track one of
the highlight tracks. Sean Price enlightens the track with the boastful street
rhyme: whole lot of shots followed/after I bust your snot box with a Ciroc
bottle or when he plays his opponents shamelessly: when I’m talking, the
streets listen/when you’re talking, the streets dissin. Of course Sean Price
solo tracks are a gem in itself, no doubt about it. The guest appearances also
hold it down for this album as well. Label mate and head of boot camp Buckshot
blessed the mic on “Frankenberry” while Pharaohe Monch provides the hook on the
Evidence produced “BBQ Sauce”. Also, Pumpkinhead showed love on the track
“Battering Bars”.
Throughout the whole album, there
are no weak tracks from the Brownsville’s solider from Saratoga Ave. This is an
album of solid production and sharp witty word flow. Straight body blows from
every album equal the first round knockout. It’s a straight classic album and one
of the best albums of the year.
