LOST ISLAND
Forbidden Ground album
Son 014 / June 2000
Following hot on the heels of their 3 storming EP’s, SON is proud to present the first artist album on the label, with the debut full-length set from Notts veterans and local heroes, emcee FRISCO and producer/deejay/occasional emcee, STYLY CEE, otherwise known as LOST ISLAND. Deviating from the standard UK template, this dynamic duo drop a tough selection of fat tracks covering everything that’s good and proper in the homegrown. Battle rhymes, storytelling, tag-team rhyming, mad conceptual shit and emceeing just for the art – all backed up with some of the funkiest and most varied production you’ll hear in the UK or anywhere else. All this plus you get a taste of some of the raw Notts talent on the rise in the form of fellow SON hard-rhymer CAPPO and rated newcomer MIDNYTE.
In true SON style, we sort you out nicely: all tracks are new, and even the skits sound fat. What you waiting for? Listen and enjoy.
