Pacewon & Mr. Green - Children Sing (SOTM #9)



Being from Jersey, I am, by default, a fan of Tha Outsidaz. Now, while many people in the hip-hop internets seem to hold Young Zee high as the golden boy of the oft-forgotten group, my favorite member was always Pacewon. His delivery was so hamfisted and lacking in all subtlety that it just beat you over the head with his dopeness. So after listening to his solo effort "Won" and being pleasantly surprised a few years back, I heard he and producer Mr. Green were putting out an album. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about it until a short while ago. However, I'm happy to say that I'm not disappointed; Pace's rhymes are as dope as ever, and Mr. Green keeps up on the production end. Here's my favorite joint from the album, "Children Sing"; Mr. Green sampled what sounds like a Jewish children's choir singing, and cut it up into what sounds like some family friendly Stoupe (of Jedi Mind Tricks) production. And Pacewon kills it with such ease.
