It’s funny that closing out the year, Tha Connection brings out one of the best rap records, not just from this year, but for a couple of ‘em. The duo made up of emcees Hus the King Pin and Smoovth, have not been an overwhelming media attraction. They have put in time on mix tapes, samplers and singles, but they remain relatively unknown. The tracks available on Rhymehouse from Tha Connec’s Trapeze, should ingratiate them to every true head on the planet. The production is half way between ‘90s jazz/rap hybrids and new millennial synthesizers. That last part might be confusing to readers – it is. The synths that are included don’t sound like silly dance music or ‘80s rock, but could easily have come from any Doom produced track. The fact that Trapeze is the group’s first full length only makes this all the more shocking. But as if this lone shot of twenty some odd tracks wasn’t enough, this East Coast group is slated to release more of their unique sounds on Japanese label Goon Trax. Spreading their name far-a-field, Tha Connection seems to making a play at international rap dominance. And really, they might be able to pull it off. If nothing else they really do deserve it. Amidst all of the tough guy rap that gets passed off as the real thing, it’s refreshing to hear a new act come at listeners in such a genuine manner. Braggadocio should be included and perhaps more will crop up, but it’s not really braggin’ if it’s true.
