0T=jR{j!o uV!MW= ) Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
EtJD'& astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
F-$Kv-f full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
bIq-1
Y( of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
<jg8y'm@0 it to the limit?before pushing right through it.

6x |KTpK(6p Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
tG_-;03<`4 only in the last 12 months that things have really
WVinP(#nfM taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
7f[8ED[4 Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
z(#=
tC| Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
[rc'/@L NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
q;KshpfRMD they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
^fG`DjA) exciting artists in America right now'.
b5[f 5 1O|RIv7F[/ It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
BSjbnnW}" that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
8Er[M that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
MwN1]d|6 it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
HK^a:BI gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
<n f=SRZ philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
E*h0#m|) night''.

:" Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
3LT+9ad2d girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
t
CkoYrvT Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
</8be=e7p with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
neK*jdaP attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
5c*p2:] Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
>aX:gN multiply it by ten.
4S^ h5<T.vV These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
5?D1][ ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
S$Ns8= Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
9@kcK this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
C#ZmgR AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
;L#LDk{Za Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
AECxd[k$9 XB6N[E They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
WT;.>F the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
XCKY
xv& cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
5?<|3 Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
h4J{j h. equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
#rqyy0k0'h breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
aE%eJ)+K Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
tU8g(ep,o powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
!E4E' I=]N challenging listen which will more than reward
AM1/\R those brave enough to try it.
