Shabam Saadiq shows us real hip hop
Unpretentious lyrics and hard beats reverberating from the basement.
The two tracks, "Are You Ready" and "Concrete," each take a different approach to showcasing the essence of underground hip-hop. They feature lyrics that portray the reality of the concrete jungle and minimal yet effective beatmaking. Their lack of conformity with the mainstream epitomizes the spirit of the independent scene of the late '90s.
