Each volume of Thump's Lowrider Video Soundtracks contain 15 cuts of bass-heavy, groove-dominated hip-hop. Each of the songs has heavy bass grooves and minimal hooks, and while nothing in particular stands out on any of the volumes, it's still an entertaining series. Among the highlights on Vol. 7 are S.O.L.'s "It's Madness," Chicano's "Chicano 2 da Bone," C-Note's "She's Just a Freak," Kozme's "Klip to the Krome," ALT's "All Night," and Kid Frost's "Bump Dat Ass." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Editors: C-Note Estrada; Rocky Padilla.

Francis album Orbiting the funk cosmos of George Clinton, sampling minerals from the moons of Turntablism and connecting to electromagnets in House each track is produced like a concerto. The DNA is a heavy cut-up Burroughs-like approach to the sound, bboy breaks, angular guitar, wild synths, operatic sentiments and unconventional song structures. Special guest feature by Juice Aleem (luminary of the Birmingham hip hop scene) who raps on two tracks to throw a different light on the songs. Tracks mixed by disco and funk star Glen Nichols and mastered at Abbey Rd, London.
