Illicit Work - 1991
Review by Daniel Voyles
Illicit Work's 1991 album has been receiving high praise from music critics and fans alike. The album features a mix of hip-hop and R&B beats, with catchy hooks and clever lyrics that showcase the group's musical talent.
The opening track, "Intro (1991)," sets the tone for the album with its nostalgic vibe and smooth flow. "Good Vibes" and "Stay the Night" are standout tracks that showcase the group's ability to create infectious melodies that stick in your head long after the song has ended.
Illicit Work also tackles more serious topics on tracks like "Black Lives Matter" and "The Struggle," bringing attention to the ongoing fight against social injustice and inequality. The group's passion for these issues is evident in their lyrics and delivery.
