Lakim Shabazz

Hmm, where do I begin with Lakim Shabazz. He used to be a part of the powerhouse crew known as the Flavor Unit (the inital crew, not it's incredibly lame reincarnation). I can't front, when I heard him for the first time, I wasn't feelin' him at all. Keep in mind that he was speaking upon things I simply had no idea about at the time (like 5% ideology). I didn't come to appreaciate him until sometime around '95 after I picked up a book or two. Anyway, his two albums are dope. Time hasn't been all that kind to DJ Mark The 45 King's production over the years. Though they're somewhat dated, both albums are definitely worth checking out if for no other reason than to find out what all the fuss -- and high prices -- are all about.
