The Brand New Heavies: Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol. 1 (Acid Jazz)
David Bennun, Melody Maker, 5 September 1992
YES! WHAT a brilliant simple, obvious idea! Why, you Have to wonder, has nobody thought of it before. Well, somebody did; a crew name of Stetsasonic, who were recognised as hip hop's only live band back when. These days every clued-up hip hop outfit takes musicians onstage, and Stetsasonic's Prince Paul has gained wider fame as De La Soul's producer and mentor. And now, at last, a funk band makes a rap LP with different voices on each track. You can't halt progress.
