Produced by Kutmasta Kurt

Bay Area underground rap hero Motion Man, known as a regular on the Wake up Show and as a rhyming partner of Kool Keith, delivers an album of grand proportions with Clearing the Field. With a refreshing and wholly original style on the mic, Motion Man proves that uniqueness in rap can still be obtained without veering into other genres. Beats provided by KutMasta Kurt are presented from the perspective of a seasoned DJ, with especially hard drum kicks and frequent sample stabs leading the charge. His use of the opening line from Don Drummond's ska classic "Man in the Streets" to enhance "Hold Up," a song that also features the antics of Biz Markie, is very characteristic of KutMasta Kurt's in-your-face production style. Other guest appearances by the likes of Kool Keith and LC on "We Work Styles," Planet Asia on "Face 2 Face," and E-40 on "Reason 2 Panic" really help elevate the album into the realm of an overlooked classic. Indeed, hearing E-40 effectively spit lyrics over what many would consider to be a traditional backpacker beat is something that should surprise many of his naysayers. But lest you forget the extreme talents of Motion Man, an artist with so much personality that he should be dubbed as the black Eminem. Tracks such as "Straight Flowin' on Em," "Clearing the Field," "Loose Cannon," and "Come on Y'all" are so filled with clever wordplay and punch lines that Motion Man could easily be considered a comedian as well as an MC. On his Too Short appreciation track called "Beotches," he even does an impressive job rhyming in Spanglish. And, unlike those found on so many other rap albums, his skits and interludes are actually hilarious. All in all, Clearing the Field is an album that presents everything that is right about West Coast hip-hop. ~ Robert Gabriel, All Music Guide/Mps.com

"Második albumuk, a 2003-ban megjelent "U Kkow How We Roll" is fényesen bizonyítja képességeiket, ének és rap akrobatika felsőfokon, melyen zeneileg is új csúcsokat állít a négyesfogat: minimál elektronika a hagyományos offbeat és a gyorsabb dancehalltempók között. Zenéjükben őrült soundok találkoznak a legzavarodottabb beatekkel, mindez párosítva az ellenálhatatlan szöveg- és énektechnikával."

"Sure, Black on Both Sides raised expectations on Def to incredible heights, but this album is far from its sequel. It’s a fully intact tangential cousin to Black that should be required listening for every jackass spinning anything by one-shotters like 50 Cent, Chingy and whatever other crap is pumping on Rap City. Buy it now."

The Herbaliser : Jake Wherry, Ollie Teeba, Kaidi Taitham
"Wherry/Teeba take themes, vibe-percussion, hits, bleats and blasts to build a full and complex firmament of large orchestral manoeuvres with a tailored, original feel. They make loving use of some of the best scores around, adding superbly worked beats and basslines at a pleasingly low rate of hertz. An eclectic nod to some of the grooviest soundtrack jazz-funk there is and a class export."

60 : 07 min

"Overall this album is blue fire hot! Damian is Reggae Hip Hopper and his versatility is needed in both genres. The beats are fused with many musical styles and his topics are (like his father's) ranging and deep. He doesn't lean on his celebrity status and that is refreshing!
Damian Marley gives you a well rounded look at Jamrock, it's culture and his experiences in it. He also gives a vision on where he wants it and the future to head. He gets thoughtful, political and talks about social injustices and mishaps while letting you know he's a blood dripping man on this planet and likes to love and have a good time."
