Freestyle Fellowship’s first record of new material as a collective in almost a decade moves away from the jazz/hip-hop sound that launched them as one of the most prominent pioneers of that style in the early Nineties. While they do roll back the years on the busy opening jam ‘We Are’, it proves to be something of a red herring as elsewhere the foursome rap over everything from smoked-out, Wu-Tang instrumentation to Eminem-esque click beats, which don’t always play to their strengths. Their lyricism has not diminished however, as is evident on highlight ‘Daddies’, an overdue attempt to counteract hip-hop’s fascination with mother figures, as the group tip their hat to the world’s responsible fathers.
