Make It Reign

Description

Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz- Make It ReignAmazon.com On their slinky first single "Déjà Vu"--a butta-licious platinum seller which jacked Steely Dan's classic "Black Cow"--Bronx natives Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz chant hometown pride, paying hooky homage to hip-hop's birthplace. The New York borough may have slowed its pace in the rap race, but it's still bonded to the duo's heart and soul. On Make It Reign, their debut full-length, Tariq (the owner of a forceful, sandpapery tone) and Gunz, whose vocal inflections and flow are decidedly smoother, weave brooding Bronx tales about holding down streets and packing heat. Using crafty metaphors and catchy slang, they lyrically portray money-boss playas and gangsta-slick hustlers. Beyond those poses, they deliver swift party jams like the island-spiced "We Will Ball" and "Startin' Something," a woofer-wobbler featuring harmonious homies Blackstreet. One of the more intriguing cuts on this strong testament to the resilience and continued importance of the Bronx is "Who Am I," where the performers personify two deadly killers--crack cocaine and HIV. --Havelock Nelson Product description Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz ~ Make It Reign Review Although they deliver several satisfying songs, the scratchy-voiced Tariq and the smooth-flowing Gunz lack the charisma to carry the 18 cuts.... In fact, with the music that varies from blatant, boring rehashes of past pop singles to lifeless hardcore backdrops, Tariq and Gunz sink as they attempt to appeal to both commercial devotees and their underground fans. -- Los Angeles TimesThe album ... has Tariq and Gunz breezing through a varied barrage of hard and soft backdrops replete with twangy guitar loops and driving bass lines. Infectious call-and-response hooks dominate the album's choruses, as heard on the player testimonial "We Will Ball" and the plush "Keep On." -- Vibe
