"BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY" REVIEW IN RAGO MAGAZINE


BIG SKEEM
‘By Any Means Necessary’
(Team AFF)
www.myspace.com/bigskeempa


This debut CD from Big Skeem is proper fire! On a level his vocal tone is like a more gutter version of Fat Joe, and his bars hit hard making him easily one of the best MC’s on the American underground scene. This CD features seventeen tracks including some killer freestyles, but above all some really good produced tracks. ‘Boxed In’ produced by AFFicial Beats is the CD’s first real highlight before we get into his heavy single ‘Smash Off’ featuring Peedi Crakk. Mixed up DJ Herk, this audio journey is put together so well with nice DJ skills running throughout. Herk also gives up some dirty production too! Peep ‘What’s The Sound’ and ‘It’s easy featuring Stack Bundles. Both killer tracks, as is the awesome posse cut ‘25 To Life’ which features Geolani, Synp Life from 354, Papi Storz, Rain, Big Cas, Montega, Streetz & Young Deuces, A-Pinks, Brick Saavy, Logic, Rover, St. Laz from Pottersfield, Trilogy, Tom Gist from Dipset, Phene A.C, Sin Sizzerb, Gawdbless, Dino West from the New No Limit, Al Sharb, Dan Deuce, Miami’s Garcia and hot talent Showtime all on one massive posse cut! ‘Its Murda’ is a big tune too which sees the Boss Geolani drop hefty alongside the South’s new voice Big Cas. Massive tracks, massive release and above all an MC to watch out for! UK fans should be on the look-out for his first European release ‘Extended Family – The Hustler’s Edition’ hosted by UK rapper CONMAN and Team AFF’s BIG SKEEM coming soon on Wolftown Recordings.
