Formed in Long Beach, California around 1993, lyricists Andy and Dizzy and D.J. Young Einstein have been putting out classic hip-hop records and touring the world for the last 6 years. They've earned acclaim and respect within Hip-Hop culture while consistently selling records and even grabbing an occasional international chart position. Amazingly, U.D. has rocked 5 continents on a quest to spread their positive and exciting brand of music. They recently performed in China becoming only the second rap group to do so. Coming off of their last release (the cult-famous concept album "Taste the Secret") the boys needed to get back to basics. Dizzy proclaims, "We wanted to do something more straight-up and raw that would have an instant impact on a listener". Einstein adds, "We made the songs more up-tempo, hi-powered and bold". BANG FOR THE BUCK is just that. 12 relentless tracks with slamming breaks, funky basslines, huge horn sections and tight, aggressive rapping. Inspired by the energy and excitement or live performance, the group sought to translate the on-stage feeling to the recording process. The result is an album that is almost combustible. "We wanted the record to sound like a fight-scene from an old, cowboy movie. Big hits and loud shots ringing out. Destructive but fun, like cartoon violence." Andy continues, "We took 9 months off the road to put 'BANG FOR THE BUCK' together and a lot of pent-up ire came out in the studio." Songs like the smash-you-over-the-head-with-a-bottle of a track called "Smack!" show the band's angry side with lyrics pointed towards commercial hip-hop stars: Smile and blow kisses your image is fictitious/ Pop junk but you're a punk like sid vicious/ Dizzy complains, "Somebody has to say it". Other stand-out numbers include an exciting, horn-drenched re-introduction to the group called "Yudee", a scream- along named "Let it Out" and a funky rocker titled "The Breakdown" that recalls the band's struggle to make a name for itself. "Lower the Boom", a salute to the pounding of 808 kick-drum, will test your stereo's E.Q. capabilities and "Left Behind" is the fastest track (around 124 beats per minute) that the band has ever done. Dizzy gasps "I'm still out of breath from that one". Also included is a rare collaboration with "People Under the Stairs" called "Shoot Your Shot". Inspired by A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario", U.D. and P.U.T.S. put together a jumping track that will get a listener yelling along with all of the hooks. The group feels that this is their best album yet. "No cute stuff" says Andy "All boom and pow. We came out with guns blazing." Remaining true to their sound and classic approach to hip-hop music, Ugly Duckling has fired back with an album that might put some life back into a scene that can be overly fashion-conscience and decadently repetitive. Einstein sums it all up by saying "We can't wait to get out on the road and perform our new material. We're going to shoot the roof down. In a good way". |
