Former X-clan member Brother J leads Dark Sun Riders, a hip-hop group that isn't is militant as his former outfit. That doesn't mean he's abandoned politics, however -- he's just become more skillful and subtle with his lyrics. His new-found maturity is evident throughout Dark Sun Riders' debut album, Seeds of Evolution. A raw, funky and soulful collection, the album has its weak spots, but it delivers enough deep grooves and inventive rhymes to make it a satisfying listen. ~ David Jehnzen, All Music Guide
Brother J is one of the most underrated lyricists of our time. No matter what he is rapping about, you've got to pay attention to grasp the full meaning of his message. No simplistic rhymes here.
