Album Description

Having lost its distribution deal with {@Priority}, {@Duck Down Records}, the home of New York's {$Boot Camp Clik}, was at a low point around the turn of the century. {$BCC} member {$Ruck}'s predicament did not fair any better. However, during the mid-2000s, he became one of underground {\hip-hop}'s MVPs under the name "[he] chooses to be called when [he's] in front of his moms," {$Sean Price}, and {^Monkey Barz} was vindicating proof of that fact. On this first installment of {@Duck Down}'s "Triple Threat" campaign, a collaborative effort with {$Justus League} producers {$9th Wonder} and {$Khrysis}, {$Price} guides you on a journey of wit, humor, and grime. His deep, commanding voice on the opening track attempts to set a solemn tone for the rest of the album, even though the actual tone of {^Monkey Barz} fluctuates from dead serious to slapstick nonsense. {&"Fake Neptune"} has {$Price} spitting filthy rhymes ("How you gonna sh*t on me/After I let you sh*t on me, freaky deakay") over a beat that <I>does</I> sound like a bootleg version of the {$Neptunes}-produced track by {$Birdman} and {$Clipse}, {&"What Happened to That Boy."} The real question posed is whether or not he can deliver with {$Justus League} productions; the {$9th Wonder}-produced {&"Heartburn"} offers the best answer. {$9th} composes a delicate, steady beat with hard drums, a husky bassline, and a beautiful {\soul} sample, and yet {$Price}'s "courting" (more like repelling) of his love interest basks in his hardcore image. That peculiar contrast, which is representative of the album as a whole, makes {^Monkey Barz} that more intriguing. Even more captivating is the title track, a rhyme session of jungle {\rap} acrobatics in which his lyrical modus operandi -- the stop-and-flow delivery of clever rhymes and non sequiturs -- is epitomized: "We Mighty Joe Youngin' it/Thuggin' it/Straight from the jungle my brotha/My ni**as, Banana Republican/Orangutan slang/Chewbacca, not proper/Tube socks full of rocks plus the cops watch us, yo." {$Price} clearly knows his strengths. His charisma alone can hold any song together and definitely stands out on tracks like {&"Jail Shit"} where the production is less than stellar. The sexism expressed in some of his lyrics can be a bit off-putting, but by the end of the record, he will still have you chanting the ad libs along with him, "{$Sean P}"! ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music Guide
