Quite possibly one of the most underrated East Coast rap groups, Organized Konfusion's Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch deliver an album full of stimulating lyrics and well-arranged instrumentation on The Equinox, the group's third full-length project. Po and Monch extended their artistic reach by producing five of the 14 songs; each of the self-productions is serious in atmosphere, moderate in tempo, and dominated by lower-frequency tone colors. For example, "They Don't Want It" serves as a cautionary declaration to any competitors, chanted over a sequence with saturated kick drums and synthesizer tones reminiscent of a pair of old church bells deeply tolling on a rainy fall morning. "They Don't Want It" is followed by the first in a series of skits that tends to interrupt the musical flow from song to song, but makes listening to the album like a watching a movie. Other producers featured include Diamond D, Raheed, and Buckwild. Continuing in a pattern of rhymes that pull the listener in and allows them to be absorbed through involved lyrics and intriguing content, The Equinox features well-structured material that won't disappoint any listeners with high standards. ~ Qa'id Jacobs, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
