But the delivery is so agile you might not even care. At least, you think so because their heavy slanguage is so dense its borderline indecipherable. On the opener Posse From The Bronx Geechi and Sonny lyrically let you know there aint anything sweet about them over rugged drums. Now with Black Hollywood, Ski Beatz’ grooves are up to the high standards hes set. Despite the majority of the albums production again being helmed by Ski (now Ski Beatz) the album lacked the vibrancy of their debut. But after hits like ∼oolie High and Luchini (This Is It), Camp Lo wouldnt release another album for five years, the tepid at best received Lets Do It Again. And keep it Hollywood they do.Even if you dont feel like being bothered or are just plain weary of their relevance now, Camp Lo has a certain classic in their discography with their stunning, Ski produced, blaxploitation revitalizing debut Uptown Saturday Night. Why arent Camp Lo rap superstars? Was it producer Ski letting Jay-Z rock some of those beats instead? Is all that slick rhyming with the ultra-cool deliveries just passé? There arent any real answers to the questions posed but thankfully for their fans, the duo of Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba return with their third full-length effort Black Hollywood (Good Hands/Traffic).
