RunDMC - Its Tricky

Review by Yassir Nmnkani

"It's Tricky" by RunDMC is a classic hip-hop album that showcases the group's unique style and energy. Released in 1986, the album features some of their most popular tracks, including the title track "It's Tricky," "My Adidas," and "Walk This Way," which featured Aerosmith.

The album is a mix of upbeat and energetic tracks, as well as more mellow and reflective songs. RunDMC's signature style of rapping over rock-influenced beats shines through on every track, and their clever lyrics and catchy hooks make for an unforgettable listening experience.

This was done by Shep Pettibone. He was known for his mixes on NYC radio. You can check him out on YT and you’ll see how this song fades into the uptempo bit.
