Sean Price
Album : Monkey Barz
Release Date : May 31, 2005
Label : Duck Down Records

Review :

Along with his partner Rock, Sean Price (A.K.A. Ruck) dropped two impressive LP’s as the duo Heltah Skeltah ; their 1996 debut Nocturnal (which included the indelible “Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka”) and their 1998 follow-up Magnum Force.

While fans will have to wait a bit longer for another Heltah Skeltah LP, the incessant clamoring for Sean’s solo-debut is about to be quenched as Sean Price will release Monkey Barz on 5-31-05 courtesy of Duck Down Records.

Both Hiphop and Boot Camp Click purists alike have long recognized and appreciated Sean’s commanding delivery, powerful voice and clever verses (exemplified by Monkey Barz playful lead-single “Onion Head”) and with established vets such as Ayatollah and Agallah and two rising production stars (9th Wonder & DJ Khrysis) contributing beats as well as guest appearances from the Boot Camp Click’s core members (Black Moon’s Buckshot & 5FT, Smif N Wesson’s Tek & Steele, O.G.C.’s Louieville Sluggah and Starang Wondah, Rustee Juxx and Sean’s Heltah Skeltah cohort Rock makes two cameo’s) the BCC collective is fully in-tact and operational for Sean Price’s solo-debut.

Sean Price’s Monkey Barz will impact on 5-31-05 and is the first installment of Duck Down’s “Triple Threat” summer ; which will also include the highly-anticipated Buckshot/9th Wonder collaborative LP, Chemistry, which will drop on 6-21-05 and Smif N Wesson’s long-awaited return, Reloaded, which will drop in July.
