Notes from CDUniverse:
The Beatnuts: JuJu, Psycho Les (rap vocals).
Additional personnel: Chris Chandler, Freeway, AG, Akon, Milano, Rahzel, Tony Touch, Tripel Seis, Prince Whipper Whip, Gab Goblin (rap vocals).
On 2004's MILK ME, the Beatnuts' seventh record, Juju declares he's "never been much for words," and while this is debatable (as both he and Psycho Les can break out some memorable lines), it's never been the lyrics that have drawn hip-hop followers to the Beatnuts by the thousands. Well known and sought after (as producers/remixers) long before Les and Juju (along with original member Fashion) took the mic themselves in the early 1990s, the Beatnuts create rhythms that are instantly recognizable, funky, melodic, and incredibly tight. MILK ME is no exception, and, indeed, may contain the duo's greatest production accomplishments since their pinnacle record, 1999's A MUSICAL MASSACRE.
As the music shifts styles and drops in and out, Les and Juju mix circus beats, flutes, and blues guitar riffs with swatches of old-school rap and '70s funk to form a thrilling hip-hop melange. The Beatnuts' lyrical fierceness is present, but, more often than not, the words fade into the backdrop, serving as another element to fuel the head-nodding beats. The Beatnuts boast a remarkable consistency, and MILK ME continues their tradition of releasing powerful, engaging hip-hop records.
