Downtown Science - Big Yellow 12 Inch
Review by Heri Asidik
Downtown Science's album Big Yellow 12 Inch is a remarkable piece of work that showcases the group's unique blend of hip-hop, electro-funk, and rock. The album features a mix of old-school rap and futuristic beats that create a distinct sound that is both familiar and fresh.
The album's title track, "Big Yellow Taxi," is a standout with its infectious beat and catchy chorus. The song's clever lyrics and catchy hooks make it a must-listen for any fan of hip-hop. Other tracks, such as "Room to Breathe" and "Radioactive," showcase the group's ability to blend different genres together seamlessly.
The album's production is top-notch, with each track featuring a rich and layered sound that highlights the group's musical talent. The album's energy and intensity never waver, making it a thrilling and engaging listen from start to finish.
