RJD2 (or Ramble Jon Krohn to his compatriots) has been a noteworthy slaughterhouse of infectiously tight production and beatmaking since breaking onto the scene with 2002's "Deadringer" and has consistently had a hand in making high-impact hip hop. His solo career and various collaborations, including "Magnificent City" with Aceyalone (the instrumental for "A Beautiful Mine" has since been co-opted as the opening titles theme for a little show called Mad Men), has spanned a number of high-ranking footnotes in modern DJing. His knack for unleashing newcomers and showcasing their work as the elder-statesman brings us to his latest endeavor: "STSxRJD2".
Atlanta-bred, Philly-native rapper Silver Tongue Slim (STS) has the makings of a hip hop prodigy: lightning-fast rapid-fire delivery (think Andre3000 at the height of his game) and lyrical precision that rivals the best the underground has to offer. Easily one of the rap-game's best kept secrets, RJD2 embellishes the high points with the ease of a soundtrack composer and the two deliver an album of bouncy, high-energy soul-woven tracks primed for summer.
