This is relentless. It doesn't pause for a breath from start to finish. I bloody love it. I tried to listen whilst working. This didn't work. I had to save it whilst out on a walk. My pace picked up and I was walking with a purpose. This probably wasn't the stated aim of Chuck and pals whilst making the record. Hip Hop Hikers is a thing. (And yes, I accept that this album wasn't made for me, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying, if not quite feeling the message and the importance to the black community. Especially so in 2023.)

I love any excuse to play this is a good excuse. The Gold Standard, not just in hip hop, but music generally. It has it all, energy, noise, great lyrics, dynamics. It's playful, smart and serious all at the same time. It sounded like nothing else at the time, and this is a set that has really stood the test of time. Yeah Boy! Bring The Noise indeed.
