D-Stroy - Cataclysm: The Official D-Stroy Mix CD

After a hilarious intro the one-time Arsonists member dives right into his new mixtape "Cataclysm" at full B-Boy speed.

Utilizing a bevy of breaks and just an all-out old school approach, this mix is right up the alley of any late 80's rap fiend right down to the old school rhyme patterns that D-Stroy rocks throughout.

I liked this mix for a number of aesthetic reasons....

Even if D-Stroy left the Arsonists awhile back his ties remain strong and he was able to wrangle up Q-Unique for a guest spot on perhaps the tape's nicest cut "Good", for which an ultra dope video was also released. Another highlight is the 93' freestyle that Stroy un-earth's from Pharoahe Monch.

Mis-steps happened sparingly here and "Cataclycsm" is nicely constructed and has a bunch of diversified looks. From the talented Miri Ben Ari guesting with her killer Violin to the legendary DJ Tony Toca coming through for yet another one of his dope rhyming spots you never see a dull moment.

I'mma drop an 8 outta 10 for this.....
