 CyneEvolution Fight Release Date 2005 09 27 Label City Centre Offices Rating:  The second album from this Gainsville, FL, hip-hop four-piece for Berlin's City Centre Offices, this is not the highly fractured digital hip-hop you'd expect from the experimental-leaning label. Rather, it is classic boom-bap, pure and simple, fortified this time by an array of live musicians, including Rhodes, bass, and vibes from the Mercury Program on &"Growing," while rapper Akin's uncle adds live percussion and horn player Mike Maines multi-tracks a full ensemble of brass for charged opener &"Plight About Now." But regardless of whether the musical track comes from human hands or a well-worn MPC, the results are the same, good-times party rap with moving beats and sensible lyrics. &"Rappin'" goes so far as to sample none other than Mr. T, yet is perhaps the most challenging cut, with a Primo simple loop that will make you strut funny. Despite their fundamental vision, further listens will show Evolution Fight to be a deceptively intricate album (check the wonky piano loop that backs the ribbon-blown lyrics on the title track or the off-beat rhythm that backs a gospel sample on &"Up Above"), and that might make it more worthy of the City Centre tag of musical advancement than many more overtly abstract hip-hop albums.
