Bombastic, outrageous, and darkly funny, while hammering home some uncomfortable truths, punched up by the Evans' ridiculous adlibs. What a listen. Shame the record got lost in the landslide of top-tier rap albums from that year.

Whew, I said Adina instead of Adriana, I was thinking of Adina Howard, as one does.

Yeah, it sailed under a lot of people's radar, but as you say, 94 was a strong year. I was buying my records from a spot in South London back then, and they sold a lot of copies of this one. I remember one of the guys giving me the "you need this" treatment, but I didn't need much convincing.

That's awesome to hear. It's a good record! Always liked "Back in the Day," "Nutin Ta Lose," "Duck Ya Head" and "My Mind is Driftin" too.

I never heard much else by him, but I seem to remember an EP roughly around the same time as the album. I didn't even know the album had been reissued!
