Pl6=._
]x\wP7x Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
Ymvd=F astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
1OL~)X3 full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
VG^-aR_F of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
wH<* it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
uI wyan- lEs/_f3;A Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
3!x)LUWfWY only in the last 12 months that things have really
9-SXu lgu taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
&YMj\KmlSg Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
uuB\~ #?T Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
hn.fX:} NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
mqw.v$> they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
aQ.
\!&U exciting artists in America right now'.
ha5\T' _,Y79 b6 It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
bc NYoZ8`
that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
P&;I]2# that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
D bJ(N h it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
35T7g65; gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
7h~M&\M philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
VPbNLi night''.

F Te# @\I ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
=t2epIr5 Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -

the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
I%Z&i-33y cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
"mA/:8` Q Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
e{=$4F equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and

3L|k3 `I4 challenging listen which will more than reward
*h1@eJHMz those brave enough to try it.
