Our Take

After dusting off his iconic boombox, KRS ONE is back with "Return of the Boom Bap," a nostalgic journey through the golden age of hip hop.

From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, the album kicks off with a bang, with KRS ONE's signature razor-sharp delivery and thought-provoking lyrics hitting hard. The production is raw and stripped back, focusing on the fundamentals of boom bap beats and infectious hooks that will have you nodding your head in no time.

Tracks like "Sound of da Police" and "Black Cop" showcase KRS ONE at his lyrical best, tackling social issues with a blend of wit and intelligence that is unmatched in the game. The guest features from hip hop legends like DJ Premier and Showbiz only add to the authenticity of the album, creating a true homage to the origins of the genre.

However, "Return of the Boom Bap" is not without its faults. Some tracks feel a bit repetitive and lack the innovation that we have come to expect from KRS ONE. But, overall, this album is a solid return to form for the hip hop pioneer, reminding us all why he is considered one of the greatest of all time.

In conclusion, "Return of the Boom Bap" is a must-listen for any true hip hop fan looking to take a trip down memory lane. KRS ONE has once again proven why he is a living legend in the game, and this album is a testament to his enduring talent and legacy. Verdict: 8.3/10.
