The twins are Ras Austin and Taj Austin, the sons of Ras Kass and Teedra Moses. Eric Jamal is a master storyteller and lyricist while Rio Loz brings the struggle and bilingual bars with surprising depth and authenticity.

2:23 - The four are youngbloods with old souls, they grew up listening to the greats. Eric Jamal puts on his surgical scrubs and starts things off with a medicine scheme woven throughout.

4:41 - With Dr. EJ having done his bit the torch is passed to Taj Austin. Specificity breeds universality so Taj's speaking on his own life and changes so far with a view to the future helps us all stop and think about how we got here, and where we're going now. Doubles and triples abound through all the verses, my favorite in this section being: "That same time in Germany I catered crafts, I had to work" (Germany... craft... work... Kraftwerk is a German electronic band that really popularized a lot of the tools and techniques that would spread to early Hip Hop as well. They also have an album called Autobahn, which was referenced in the previous bar. :D )

Oh sweet! I actually got a notification for this one. And this is a great introduction to Coast Contra, it's all unique to them with a beat produced by Rio Loz (the third rapper with a sort of Colombian Busta Rhymes feel.) From here I suggest their Never Freestyle, Scenario Freestyle, Cosmic Kev, and Breathe and Stop freestyle.
