up 020: the dynospectrum [1998]

welcome to where pride is broken like pencils, within the spectrum the passion is tenfold.

''disclaimer: each member assumes a pseudonym on this record. slug (of atmosphere) is sep sev-two, i self devine (of atlanta, georgia's micranots crew) is pat juba, musab (aka beyond) is mr. gene poole and swift (of phull surkle) is general woundwart.

the dynospectrum. what a perfectly fitting name for this masterpiece of an album. the word ''dynospectrum'' has no meaning whatsoever, but it pretty much defines itself upon the first listen of this lp. i self devine, musab, swift and slug were all still very young and just aching for their 45 seconds of limelight in each song. ant as a producer has always been a master of creating a complex and haunting beat while maintaining an element of artistic simplicity. this album was proof that rhymesayers entertainment had (and still has) so much to offer the hip-hop world.''
