Details: Amazon.ca On their slinky first single "Déjà Vu"--a butta-licious platinum seller which jacked Steely Dan's classic "Black Cow"--Bronx natives Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz singing hometown pride, paying hooky tribute to hip-hop's birthplace. The New York borough may have slowed its pace in the rap race, but it's still bonded to the duo's heart and soul. On Make It Reign, their full-length debut, Tariq (the owner of a forceful, sandpapery tone) and Gunz, whose vocal inflections and flow are decidedly smoother, weave brooding Bronx tales about holding down streets and packing heat. Using crafty metaphors and catchy slang, they lyrically portray money-boss playas and gangsta-slick hustlers. Beyond those poses, they deliver swift party jams like the island-spiced "We Will Ball" and "Startin' Something," a woofer-wobbler featuring harmonious Blackstreet homies. One of the most intriguing cuts on this strong testament to the resilience and continued importance of the Bronx is "Who Am I," where the performers personify two deadly killers--crack cocaine and HIV. --Havelock Nelson Product description Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz ~ Make It Reign
