AMG REVIEW
Rising from the ashes of New York's dog-eat-dog underground
scene were the five spontaneously combustible members making
up Arsonists: Q-Unique, D-Story, Freestyle, Swel Boogie, and
Jise One. Fundamentally sound and immersed in hip-hop's
old-school heritage, Arsonists amiably keep everything
in-house for their debut (which is nearly unheard of
nowadays), as there is no outside production or
industry-related collaborations. A sumptuously diverse
group, each of Arsonists brings differentiating lyrical
styles, yet together they manage to mesh into a group
setting. Arsonists burn the competition with the expedited
cadences of "Blaze," while upholding their vowel to preserve
hip-hop's four essential elements with "Flashback."
Dispensing a plethora of spit-boxing exhibitions, they give
a consummate New York verbal flogging to "Shaboing," the
flame-broiled "Venom," and the slow-burning "Worlds
Collide." Arsonists have not arrived -- they have emerged,
and hip-hop is undeniably a purer place because of it. --
