| Hip hop can be fun. It can get you grooving,
feel good and be the cold washcloth in the face of that careless
emcee that steps in the way of a true master. It can get your
neck going with some new old breakbeats and it can get your
brain going with some clever wordplay. It can be mental origami.
Or psyche origami. Or Psyche Origami, a two and a half-some
(the half being the sometimes mentioned DJ Dainja, and the two
being MC Wyzsztyk and DJ Synthesis) from the beautiful city
they call Atlanta. And having two DJs on the board, the 12"
logically starts out with some scratches on "Perspective".
Here the opposition is kept in a head lock for them to see the
world the way Wyz' wants them to see it. Therefore he points
out a couple of aspects with the backing of punchlines and with
a horn and bouncy rhythm. The a side then also offers "No
Negotiation", and we're put in a live performance
setting. Locksmith is doing some crowd motivation chanting,
with a driving and funky beat. |

| After this quick offering we get
a break in turning this platter over. "Amnesia"
is built around a bassline and little sounds that
are positioned there and here. Wyz' is continuing
to rhyme these good time rhymes, as his braggadocio
is not coming in threatening ways. The scratches
are never far behind and so this track operates
as another live performance sure shot. However,
this is not all, as the Origami is as generous as
hooking us up with a bonus beat called "Zigga
Zigga". And while the other beats
have been cool, this little space bass is even cooler.
It however also points out that the beats are a
little bit much to stomach for the people that like
some grit. Because the Origami's funk does not contain
the needed stank. It just has a little bit of a
strange odor. What then however is corrected by
Wyz' delivery and rhymes, that have us line up for
the Origami show. |
