RIP Sean Price, a true rapper’s rapper, Boot Camp Clik cohort and one half of Heltah Skeltah (as Rock alongside Jahmal Bush aka Ruck). The Brooklyn MC passed away in 2015, but his prowess on the mic is something people constantly talk about (especially hip-hop purists), and this 2015 solo debut is a perfect snapshot of it. Backed up by sample-heavy boom-bap heat from the likes of Ayatollah, Agallah, 9th Wonder, and Kleph Dollaz, Price delivers sharp, clever, and raw bars (“Dig in your pockets / leave you right where you stand / got a dime bitch that live in Japan / black belt, suck dick, chop bricks with her hand / Arigato, Sean Price slick like el gato), aka his signature style that true devotees of hip-hop will continue to miss. check out “Onion Head,” “Heartburn,” “Boom Bye Yeah,” “Shake Down,” and “One Two Yall.”
