Rating: 5.8 of 10

About a year ago, L.A. emcee/producer Lyrics Born drop his first full length under the moniker (formerly Asian Born) and completely blew away fans and critics with his earthy beats and funky vocals. It’s no wonder, since he spent years working on it, but now, just a year after its initial drop, he puts out a remix record complete with big name underground hip-hop rappers and producers. With tracks being remixed and produced by the likes of Dan the Automator, DJ Shadow, Chief Xcel, DJ Spinna and Jumbo (Lifesavas) and guest emcees like KRS-One, Evidence (The Dilated Peoples), Lateef the Truth Speaker, E-40, Casual and the Poets of Rhythm it’s hard to even imagine that some how this record would fall short. But if you put it up next to the first album, I think it does. Tracks like Hello and I’m Just Raw come off a bit cheesy and too hook oriented. It’s definitely a fun record though with some good old-skool funky hip-hop, but if I had a choice, I’d prefer the original, Later that Day.
