Underground9 Overview:
This is the debut album from New York underground Hip Hop group Non Phixion, it features production by legends such as DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Large Professor, as well as group affiliate Necro, JuJu of The Beatnuts, Dave One and T-Ray.
Non Phixion was composed of rappers Ill Bill, Sabac Red, Goretex and DJ Eclipse.
This is by many considered an underground classic, it's definitely a very impressive release but various ups and downs are not classic material.
Let's start with what i consider the best parts of the album, well besides an amazing production on most of the album the flow, delivery and lyrics are outstanding, Ill Bill is the most present on the album, his starting verse on "Black Helicopters" is my favorite one, below is a fragment.

"Had the time of his life; a capitalist with a communist wife
Started to fight and did to cats what God did to Christ
Hardly the type to give garbage advice; he was larger than life
He'd penetrate the roof of your car with a spike"

Sabac Red featured the less trough the album, but him and Goretex can easily stand up to Bill's lyrics coming with aggressive verses along with a nice delivery, Sabac's verse on "The C.I.A. Is Trying To Kill Me" is outstanding, while Goretex shines on the beautiful "Say Goodbye to Yesterday", my second favorite song on the album.

"I move through the projects, lights, rhythm and smoke
Idiom quotes, somebody said religion's a joke
Buried my man at 18, the cancer took him in months
He died before he lived, but once gone I felt touched
My old earth followed in '91, 6 months apart
Project stress, blackouts, and walks in the park
People change, cause when I look back I feel strange
Goin through old flicks, our days numbered, turnin the page
I can't go back, we learn to live with hate and respect
A tale from the heart prevail through the pain and regret"

Some of the darkest material, aggressive rapping and dark beats are the exact opposite of what you'll find on a mainstream release, if you're familiar with Hip Hop's underground you will definitely enjoy this album.

Flow & Lyrics: 9 /10
