Afu-Ra
Album : Life Force Radio
Release Date : May 21, 2002
Label : Koch Records

Afu-Ra made big waves with his debut album Body of the Life Force. His follow-up, Life Force Radio, is as deep and wide as its predecessor, and should keep the MC’s rep fully intact. Enlisting a wide variety of beatsmiths—Easy Mo Bee, Needles, Domingo, Woogie, Eric S, True Master, Ayatollah, and Curt Cazal—Afu has cooked up a variety of angles, mixing up the dope jazz swing of "Scat Man" and the bombastic vibe of "Hip-Hop" with the menacing Wu-scape of "Dangerous Language" and the insouciant soul feel of "Open."

Lyrically, Ra brings a dynamic blend of tough street speak, Eastern mysticism, and existential anecdotes, effortlessly matching guest appearances from Big Daddy Kane, Rza (as Bobby Digital), and M.O.P—sometimes outshining them completely. If Body of the Life Force presented Afu-Ra as one of hip-hop’s potentially major talents, Life Force Radio is a broad and undeniable confirmation. —Paul Sullivan
