Referencing almost everything from old-skool hip-hop to big beat electronica, the Freestylers unleashed the exhilarating and fun filled We Rock Hard in 1998. They sampled, cut, pillaged, mashed up and repackaged classics (from the likes of Kraftwerk, Public Enemy and James Brown) and created a sound that can be best described as being more diverse than original.
It’s an album that won’t please the crate digging purists and won’t be accessible to the casual listener. But there are enough of us in between those extremes who will really enjoy this decade old classic.
