About

A veteran of the Boot Camp Clik affiliated Heltah Skeltah, Sean Price has been trading in rugged New York street rhymes for over a decade. Though Heltah Skeltah failed to find mainstream success, their skeletal beats, gloomy lyrical aesthetic, and tongue twisting verbal dexterity have won them the lasting affection of a legion of hardcore hip-hop fans. In 2004 Price made a surprisingly vital return to Hip-Hop with the largely 9th Wonder produced <i>Monkey Barz</i>. Though <i>Jesus Price Supastar</i> features a more diverse production roster, enlisting veterans like P.F. Cuttin’ and relative newcomers such as Illmind, it stays true to <i>Monkey Barz</i>’ rough-hewn template, balancing cavernous drums against ghostly soul samples to create gem-like slices of New York boom-bap. As with any Boot Camp Clik project, <i>Jesus Price Supastar</i> is graced by several stellar guest appearances from other members of the Clik. “Oops up Side Ya Head” sees Steele of Smif N’ Wessun trading street-struck tales of violence and lyrical prowess, while Black Moon veteran Buckshot blesses the dusted soul of cardiac with his hyperkinetic flow. <i>Jesus Price Supastar</i> is a practiced exercise in classic Boot Camp Clik badinage, and should hold an embarrassment of delights for any fan of vintage New York Hip-Hop.
