4 April 2006 No Comment

Album Review of AIG- Fame labs presents Darkim Be Allah & Allahwise Of The Wu-tang Clan Killa Beez “Swarm” fame. Introduced to the world by The RZA, Darkim Be Allah recently released their first debut album “Fame Labs Present” featuring he’s partner Allahwise on the microphone and Shakim on the production board to delivery the internet certified gold album as hailed by fans and critics alike.

After some time in the rap wilderness Darkim Be Allah and AllahWise are back with an album packed with minimal production and lyrical gems. The album is an Internet only release, with only 1000 copies pressed making this a must for collectors. The album begins with the excellent scratch-fest, which is “The Anthem”. Darkim kicks off the record dropping gems like “I drugs niggas like PCP, still I’m calm and I’m humble when ya meets me”. The tightly crafted soundscape, courtesy of Shakim, is a true shining point. Next comes the drastically minimal “Next of Kin” produced by Darkim himself along with Strokin’. With nothing but a piano loop to go by, AllahWise holds the track down with lines like “I ain’t to blame for all them stickin’ dope all up in their vein, sweatin’ like pourin’ rain, damn they look all the same”.

Next is the tremendous “Strokin’” on which AllahWise holds it down. However, the true shining point is the excellent production. “Don’t Stop” is better lyrically with AllahWise spewing his emotions over a laid back loop. The hook is one of the most memorable going “Shit don’t stop, till the casket drop, blast shots, money in the socks, hit the stash box” and taking fans back in a strictly Wu-Tang-ish way. “Block Famous” is short but street with perfect production and Darkim spitting “Phones tapped, don’t call, only fam remain loyal”. “Time to Eat” is nice, but not as memorable as some of the tracks it preceded with AllahWise holding it down but not really shining like earlier.
