DAS EFX - Dead Serious LP (180g)

Dead Serious was also enormously influential, ushering in an entirely unique rhyming flow that influenced any number of rappers, established and novice alike. What exactly the duo is rapping about is anyone's guess. One thing is for sure: their lyrics are about as far removed from hardcore realism as they could possibly be, and although there are certain elements of boasting, it is so cut up and contorted that it never sounds like there's even a hint of the humdrum here.

Das EFX is composed of the Brooklyn-bred William “Skoob a.k.a. Books” Hines and the New Jersey native Andre “Dray a.k.a. Krazy Drayz” Weston, who met in 1988 while attending Virginia State University, bonding through a love of emceeing. They soon formed a group, and began recording music and competing at campus talent shows.
