Chris Lowe combines the aesthetics of his early 90's production prowess with the crisper tactics of today, melding an album of Funk and Soul sampling sensibilities with the up-jump crunch for the future. Classic breaks and a straight-forward approach to lyrics brings together The Black Life 2 as a rare example of longevity in the hip-hop community. Engineered by Hit Squad in-house maestro Charlie Moratta, the album bounces like Moratta's previous timeless work for EPMD, K-Solo and Redman, while Chris himself (aside longtime friend and associate Dooley O) handles production. Breaks and beats aside, The Black Life 2 is simply the Rap life: classically timed, lushly produced and ripe with the ingredients that made so many of Chris Lowe's past collaborators the integral pieces of hip-hop history they are today.
