Black Business by Poor Righteous Teachers (CD, Sep-1993, Profile Records)

Once again, the "3 Children From The Land of Israel" drop a
spiritual gem for their listeners. The Poor Righteous Teachers are
back with their third LP, "Black Business", and business couldn't be
better. The album opens up with what sounds like a childrens'
religious song "...there were once three children from the land of
Israel: Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego...", (from the track "144K") and
business is under way.
This is a quality package, loaded with mad flava and deep
esoteric rhymes. Wise Intelligent comes off with his rapid-fire
verbal gymnastics, and Culture Freedom and Father Shaheed do justice
to the mic. The production work here is pretty solid as well, with
Tony D and others serving up the underground funk. My favorite
tracks were "Mi Fresh", "Ghetto We Love", and "Get Off The Crack."
If you are familiar with PRT, then this album will not disappoint
you. But even if you have never heard anything from them, this tape
will make a welcome addition to any hardcore collection.

Rating: pHine + (4 1/2) [out of 6].
