Two decades sister later, Rammellzee's dark, intense solo debut proves that the man remains a lunatic visionary. Leadoff track "Do We Have to Show a Resume?" is what the Creature from the Black Lagoon's rap record might sound like: muddy bass and frenetic breakbeats punctuated by disembodied screams and cell phone rings, over which Ram spews venom in an echo-laden roar. Throughout the album, he comes across as a time- and space-traveling street-corner crank prophet, his lyrics making little sense on every song save the old-school party jam "Pay the Rent" (produced by Jaws from Quannum's Poets of sister Rhythm, and sister featuring Wild Style vet Shockdell). But the force of Rammellzee's menacing growl tells you all you need to know. AMY PHILLIPS BATTLES EP C (Arclight) 1812. Little Big Horn. Bull Run. The Network Stars. Don Caballero's final tour. Battles are when pretenses drop and hearts burst with ideas and blood.
