Respecta.is - The Ultimate Hip Hop Portal

After "American Werewolf" alongside Keith Murray (Def Squad) and Guilty Simpson and "Gangrene Syndicate" featuring The Alchemist, Oh No and Sean Price both released on his label Street Trash Records, Dj Duke carry on with "Time To Shine" this time on Rugged Records, with US finest underground hip-hop MCs. The Ep contains nine tracks with their own atmospheres, from the intro "Here Comes The City Brother" where Duke delivers its scratches to the sunny "Time To Shine" where Reks talks about his career as an MC, or the melancholic "Pain" where Mykill Miers speaks truly about his struggles and finally dark on "Chillin" featuring Queen's native The Absouljah.

Assassin's DJ is not the only producer to shine on this EP, he also invited the prolific Al'Tarba for a remix of the title track of this project "Time To Shine" with aggressive cuts by DJ Nix'on. Instrumental versions of each title and a scratch tool complete this quality EP.
