DJ Revolution: King of The Decks (Review)

“Very few DJs are as seasoned, as good and as complete as DJ Revolution. See, while some DJs have been in the game for a very long time, they aren’t necessarily good scratchers or mixers. Others attempt to produce tracks, but fail miserably and others who attempt to drop non-mixtape albums seem lost if they aren’t yelling all over the track. DJ Rev succeeds in being one of the best at his craft in just about every sector of the DJ. One common compliment Rev will get from his listeners is that he gives a purpose to the DJ. A purpose that has lost it’s meaning since the early days where the MC’s would turn back to the DJ as if they were running the show. On King of the Decks Rev does run the show and he, for the most part, handles the impressive list of features accordingly while dropping ridiculous displays of scratching and dope production.

The album starts of amazingly strong with back to back to back features including Sean Price, Tash, KRS-One, Guilty Simpson and Royce. Everything is on point whether it is the top notch, addictive production from Rev or the hungry and honourable rhymes of either artist. The KRS-One track, “The DJ,” is a certain standout and Royce continues showing why he’s arguably the hottest MC on the microphone at the moment.”

Overall Score: 72.5/100
