With her Gang Starr connections and a truly unique monotone delivery, Philly MC Bahamadia made an instant impression with her 1996 debut, KOLLAGE. While the album's many different producers make for an at-times uneven ride, Bahamadia's off-center voice and off-kilter rhymes tie the whole affair together. And when DJ Premier is at the helm, it is a meeting of true hip-hop minds, each one elevating the other's game. On the sensual "True Honey Buns," Premier delivers a practically narcotic beat as Bahamadia intoxicatingly illustrates a winding night on the town (complete with flirtatious passes at the Wu Tang Clan). With "Rugged Ruff," the pair veer in the other direction with a sick, swirling, chaotic, ultimately hypnotizing concoction.
