You down with 40D? Yeah you know me. Yo, for real these brothers are niiiiiice with theirs! This is the flav that our graffiti covered backpack slingin' Rawkus type heads fiend for. Tattoo the name into your mental- 40th Dimension. Going forward you'll refer to it frequently. Purchase this EP. The dynamic duo of Scandal and Happ G rep the 215 to the world stage with the Phillies red undaground pride that we boastfully bleed. This is one of the gems containing lyrical artistry and bona fide beats that make wading through all of the wack homemade chicken grease stained demos we receive worth it.

The title track Super Scandalous bursts out blurting spit style over a loopy, operatic soundscape in classic unadulterated underground Hip Hop fashion. Is it underground because its not good enough to move mighty units? Hell no! Its right where it needs to be, high quality, pure and uncut for all to ingest. The blingers and Pop Hoppers won't get it but so what, it isn't for them anyway. And the instrumentation on I Don't Care, melted butta baby. Seamless delivery, an eerily hypnotic back track and precise production create another PTPer or prime time player for our basketbally challenged readers. This is real Hip Hop with a real DJ scratching real records. The result is real nice. These are lyricists in the realest sense. Really.... And for really rugged raparobics peep the clever, bouncy tones that manifest as Tiddy-Itty. I know it all sounds like Bozack ridin' but its simply giving credit where credit is due. Here they offer up lines ranging from "every wire must be live out the 215, I'll have you buggin' in your ride like New Jersey Drive" to "Ganja passin' outlasting freshmen and upperclassmen, and fashion don't wait for the gun I'm straight dashin' with passion, pants saggin' belt buckle unfastened drunk standin' next to your ride pissin' on it and laughin..." Super Scandalous raps up with the 40 pounds of funk packed into a 20 pound bag flow of the lyrically complex Scaaaand. What can I say, it has real cutting and it follows the pattern of the first three cuts in its phatness.

To cut to the chase and wrap it up neatly, I'd pay real money for Super Scandalous. 40th Dimension is in the lab working on their full length follow up as you're reading this. I already know I'd pay for that one too. I suggest y'all do the same.
