"kC uCc j{,3! Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
%1Gat6V<' astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
dq%N,1.F
full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
/km^
I
H of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
5)4*J. it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
E>Ukxi1 VKy:e. Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
NL&(/72V only in the last 12 months that things have really
7k{Oae\$ taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
yA*~O$~Y Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
E :*!an Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
XOzPi*V** NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
x!bFbi#!" they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
zR
h1 exciting artists in America right now'.
y
%Get 4]nU%`Z1w It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
CJg & that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
L
q8}z-? that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
(:2:_FL it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
H,txbJ gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
,WA7Kp9 philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
!y$Hr[v night''.

eHuw Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
'|&}rLr:+ girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.

IFZ$
Y Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
?XL [[vyr with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
KCJ zE> attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
QE84l Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
(~xFd^W9o
multiply it by ten.
[J\5DctX;c !1+L0,I6 These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
u /JEQz1 ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
"UKX~}8T Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
En
8-Hc#NC this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
iq,qf)BY.| AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
I!9u](\0 Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
kLMg|48fdI b')CGqbbmT They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
,&
=(DJ the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
l-_voOP cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
\hQ[5> Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
<i^Bq=E<rJ equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
K8Gc5#O
F breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
gC;y>YGP Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
mC
n,I powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
Y"D'|i challenging listen which will more than reward
Hhr/o~?;}# those brave enough to try it.
