Unique in ░░ its nature, heavyweights from the USA, Canada and the UK share equal ░░ billing in a stellar line up of guest featured artists delivering a ░░ showcase of the highest quality lyricism, compelling rhymes and slick ░░ wordplay. ░░ ░░ Immersed in the culture from his early teenage years, RamsonÆs wider ░░ influences of original funk, soul, rare groove and jazz are discernible ░░ in a soundtrack woven together to fuse the classic and modern eras. Laced ░░ with additional scratch sorcery courtesy of turntablists DJ Miracle, ░░ Kompoze and DJ Jazz T, each track precision cut as a backdrop for the ░░ gamut of verbal artistry to unleash their full artillery. ░░ ░░ Rarely, if ever, has such an array of trans-Atlantic talent appeared ░░ together on the one record with beats forged in the streets of London. ░░ Following the frenzied beat juggling of the albumÆs intro, "Stay True" ░░ lays down the marker, a timeless slice of neck breaking boom bap ░░ ferociously torn apart by east coast warriors Reks, Ruste Ruxx & ░░ Blacastan. The raucous early exchanges transition to the cool west coast ░░ groove of ôRap to the Futureö as Dizzy Dustin, Mr Hooper & CanadaÆs Moka ░░ Only take turns in evoking the sights and sounds of earlier years. ░░ ░░ The album represents a new additional chapter of a career, and Ramson ░░ reminds us of his continued lyrical prowess with sparring partner Mark ░░ Fear on the fuel injected ôNonchalantö before again switching gears to ░░ the smoky new wave flavours of ôBismillahö blessed by cerebral jewels ░░ from BrooklynÆs Justo the MC, Johaz of Dag Savage and prolific Nebraskan ░░ Sleep Sinatra. ░░ ░░ The art of storytelling underpins ôWolvesö with street tales of fallen ░░ kingpins as Ramson again picks up the mic with fellow Londoners ░░ Cyclonious and Triple Darkness member Phoenix da Icefire through a ░░ journey down the cityÆs underbelly accompanied by the subtle echoes of ░░ atmospheric piano loops. The mood shifts direction again as rasping brass ░░ stabs strike up and hail the arrival of ôEquality for Everyö, Ramson this ░░ time being joined by ôthe good doctorö Chima Anya over quirky syncopation ░░ as the pair compare notes on racial justice and equal opportunities. ░░ ░░ New Jersey verbal assassins Tru Trilla, Fly Kwa and Prince Ak are next to ░░ enter the ring with their raw and uncompromising punchlines delivering ░░ knockout blows to all comers on ôLame Duckö, the energy intensified by ░░ potent bass and kicks combinations that tears through defences and takes ░░ no prisoners in a sonic war of attrition. ░░ ░░ Going solo on ôChinchillasö, Ramson takes down the fake exponents with ░░ sniper-like accuracy, lyrically dissecting his targets with the ease of a ░░ surgeonÆs knife before his mix of high octane breakbeat and acid-jazz ░░ fires up the engines and clears the way for Az Izz of The Outsidaz, ░░ OhioÆs Speed Walton and New Jersey natives Cymarshall Law and Quip to ░░ bring out the verbal cannons on ôReservoir Dogsö. ░░ ░░ ItÆs an all UK affair on the albumÆs penultimate track as a ôWhoÆs Whoö ░░ of the local scene pile in with Ramson to trade bars on the outstanding ░░ posse cut ôBlack Hole Cypherö. Relentless business from Kashmere, ░░ Truemendous, MysDiggi, Micall Parknsun, Joker Starr, Gee Bag, Confucius, ░░ Jehst and Phoenix da Icefire precedes title track ôLead by Exampleö, a ░░ straight banger with Stateside luminaries Recognize Ali, Skyzoo and New ░░ YorkÆs Juxx Diamondz dropping knowledge through trademark dexterous flows ░░ to wrap up things up in considerable style. ░░ ░░ An essential hip hop collectorÆs item with few comparisons, an authentic ░░ landmark release.
