"Feeling Like I'm Riding With The Four Horsemen"
Drum beat kicks, sampled string section weaves its dreamy melody in and out of focus over a lurching slow drum pattern and the mantra "It's Seven, It's Heavy, It's Heaven" leads in to the gloriously addictive hypnotic chorus. Brain hooked after four chorus repeats that gyrate and wind like a snake charmer dancer sending ripples through a smoke-filled room. The rap begins it's roller coaster ride with phrases merging into phrases before we hit the chorus running again and back to the dancer's sinuous moves. A melancholy fadeout as the rap and strings hit the wall...exhale. Shabazz Palaces look at America ("Amurderca" in Quazarz-speak) through an alien lens on their pair of albums - 'Quazarz: Born On A Gangster Star' and 'Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines' - both released on the 14th July is a breath of fresh air, a singular rap vision to be celebrated.
