CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Deep Down & Dirty is the fourth album from the Stereo MC's, though it could easily be their 10th, given the number of tracks that have hit the cutting-room floor in the intervening years. And yet just one listen to it makes it seem as if the U.K.'s premier crossover hip-hop act have never been away. The album's title track and lead single find rapper Rob Birch back in inspired form, freestyling those positive vibes over filthy, irresistible funk. "We Belong in This World Together" is a huge sing-along anthem; "Breeze" is dubbed-up urban soul with swirling atmospherics and Vocoder mumblings; "Traffic" is a colossal, up-front groove that culminates with Birch declaring, "It ain't easy, it ain't easy." Clearly not, but you'd never know from listening to this record. --Mike Pattenden Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsRob B And The Gang Back In Da House!!! Alan Caylow | USA | 06/15/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Like many other diehard Stereo MC's fan, I've patiently waited for the group's follow-up to their hit 1992 album, "Connected." The wait turned out to be NINE YEARS long, with only the tasty 1998 nugget from "The Avengers" movie soundtrack, "Flash," being any indication that the Stereo MC's, were, in fact, working on material for a new album. But at least Rob Birch & company haven't been idle all this time. They also work as DJ's and producers for other acts, and they run their own record label, too, so progress on the new album was sporadic at best, with the band working on the album off and on over the past few years whenever their various schedules would allow studio time.But here we are in the year 2001, and the new Stereo MC's album, "Deep Down & Dirty," is FINALLY here at last. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely---it's like the group never left! "Deep Down & Dirty" immediately reminded me why I dig this group so much---they're the only act I can think of who can blend rap & hip-hop with dance grooves and rockin' beats into a truly irresistible shake-your-booty melting pot of music and rhythm & do it so intelligently. I can never get enough of Rob B's charismatic, commanding voice, with his unique half-sung, half-rapped approach, or the incredible samples, grooves, and production to the band's music. The Stereo MC's are a slammin' studio collective, and after a nine-year sabbatical, "Deep Down & Dirty" is an excellent reminder of what the Stereo MC's are capable of.Click on any one of the audio samples and hear for yourself what I'm talking about. "Deep Down & Dirty" will have you bobbing your head in no time. The Stereo MC's are back, y'all---put on this groovy new CD and celebrate!" YES YES YES Alan Caylow | 07/14/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "As music transcends words, as the rhythm defies definition, so will any review fail analyze this album. Not that there is some thing mysterious about it, nor dose it speak in tongues. I feel it is right to say that in this album the whole is much larger then the sum of the words written about it. It is complete in the sense that every track is good as a stand alone jewel, it is complete in the sense that combined together they are even better. This album IS about music, and there is little to add in term of labels, for any cataloging will fail dead in its tracks. This album is not for the faint hart, for the seekers of serenity, it is not for those who listen to dwell in soft ambient light. It is hard and fast. It is the rock and the hard place. It gave me many hours of pleasure. A pleasure that came from deep down inside." Dig down deep into your pockets and buy this! M. Kochanowicz | Philadelphia, PA USA | 09/05/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Well worth the 9 year wait. Some bands get worse with age but not so with Stereo MC's. They stay true to their original dub-funk, hip-hop beat that blends perfectly with Rob B's raw yet melodious vocals. This CD is just as good as Connected and Supernatural. Dig down deep into your pockets and buy this!"
