Made up of Ant Live, Mainy Main, and Ced Rat, MF 911 were one of the first hip hop groups to put the "D" on the map way before the Eminem and Jay Dilla era. Their 1993 debut album "Idol: The Blood Sport" was produced by Ced-Gee (UltraMagnetic MCs) on Next Plateau Records. This album is considered a classic. MF 911 thrived on sounding original, hardcore and most importantly kicking lyrical metaphors. Although they had a classic album underneath their belts, that didn't stop them from getting caught up in the record industry politics. In 1996 when the group was at the end of recording their second album "The Rukus", their label, Next Plateau Records, was bought out by Mercury Records, leaving their new album shelved and without a home.
In 2011 MF 911 and Black Pegasus is proud to announce the licensing of this classic banger. Picking up where "Idol: The Blood Sport" left off, "The Rukus" takes you on a head boppin boom bap trip where hardcore attitude and lyrical competition is truly appreciated.
The lead-off track "Come On", produced by Track Master 30/30 (Wu Tang Clan Fame), is a slow melodic joynt that cruises while Ant Live and Mainy Mane give the fake "gangster rappers" a verbal beating. The track "Last Man Standing" is a soul groove dropped over the classic "Impeach the President" break with the crew describing the struggle to maintain in Detroit. "The Rukus" showcases Mainy Mane on the solo tip rhyming over a gritty boom bap track with a dusted Method Man sample for the chorus. "Real Live Shit" is a street anthem with the hypnotic hook from the Group Home's "Super Star" adding the flavor, and a rugged video to accompany it.
This EP is rated A+ for any hip hop lover of lyrical metaphors and funky head snapping beats.
