Metropolis Gold (Explicit Version) by All City. com, this product will be manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. com's standard return policy will apply. All City provide a cornucopia of bitten beats, styles and lyrics, working as a veritable Hot 97 value meal. - URB. These MCs strong enough all natural. S announced they're coming back next year in 2008, so damn, it's still possible.

All City's debut album, Metropolis Gold, is a good example of a rap release that has the same problem as some hard bop and jazz-fusion recordings: though you admire the artists' technique, you often feel you're getting too much technique and not enough storytelling. The CD leaves no doubt that Brooklyn MCs J. Mega and Valentine (collectively All City) have strong rhyming technique, but technique alone isn't enough to make it a great album.
