Review
City High's two-guys-and-a-girl combination will strike inevitable comparisons to their predecessors in the hip-hop neo- soulster sweepstakes, namely Digable Planets and the Fugees. But their perimeters have been adjusted to fit the post-millennial tension that urban radio is currently experiencing. Bypassing all sorts of obvious "conscious" hipsterisms, the trio's music strikes a fine balance between self-realization and street-level realness. The fact that they chose to address such basic concerns as low-income single motherhood (on "What Would You Do") and the perils of creeping with jailbait ("15 Will Get You 20"), immediately sets them apart from both the Missy Elliotts and the Lucy Pearls of the world. Stylistically, the record is surprisingly heavy on the smoothed-out R&B tip, and singer Claudette Ortiz is unquestionably more Destiny's Child than L-Boogie. But the production, handled by executive producer Wyclef Jean, DJ Clark Kent, and others, subverts the classic Quiet Storm formula and serves as an interesting counterpoint to the group's capable vocals. City High is a keeper. --Rebecca LevineUK edition of the alternative rapper's critically acclaimed 2001 debut album includes three bonus tracks, 'Do The Right Thing', 'It Ain't The Same' & 'What Would You Do' (CD-ROM video). 17 tracks in all.Debut Self-titled Album. A Mixture of Strong, Uptempo R&B with Pop Hooks and a Healthy Dose of Hip Hop Beats, but it is their Lyrics which Make them Unique. Their Subject Matters Are a Far Cry from R&b's Usual 'bump N Grind' and 'luv U Down' Lines Instead Dealing with Real Issues that Face the Youth Growing Up in Inner-cities. Includes Three Tracks Not on USA Version:'do The Right Thing','it Ain't the Same' and the CD-ROM Video of 'what Would You Do'.
