Since jammin the UK rap classics that Unanimous Decision from Coventry in the West Midlands of England, never got their full dues, its a shame they never made a full album, they definatley had the skills to sustain a long term career, sadly the UD legacy consists of just one 12" and three EP's.
90% of the rhymes are handled by MC Evaready, this cat is ill, the tone of his voice is like a UK Masta Ace, but with a distinctly British dead pan sensibility, he also isn't afraid to diss his British sell out contemporary's, Betty Boo, Tribal Bass, Shut and Dance (Shut Up and Be Quiet) and Westwood (Aka DJ USA) all get called out. I love this lyric from 'Making A Living'
"you wanna get paid, your heart's willin to make it
but at the top there's a lot of David's,
Darren's, Barbara's George's and Karen's
Who don't know the deal, they can't be for real
They lost their sense, their sense to feel
The heart of a homeboy too black, too strong
put him on a string, how long can you tag him along?
me? never, I'm too brown, I'm too clever
a young man at the end of his tether"

The music is Hip Hop circa 1991-1993, so it has that funky, jazzy feel, lots of horns, but Hardcore Hip Hop through and through. Yea, so download this share it around, I made it for myself, for some reason I like to jam long players, figured somebody else would like jam it too.These guys are kind of mysterious, so the dude on the cover is legendary UK Boxer Nigel Benn 'The Dark Destroyer'.
