Shauktrupe
Hip-hop Heavyweights "Shauk" the underground
ShaukTrupe is again likely to dent the UnderGround.Perm's production remains a foundation of skill, far too eclectic and ultimately far too interesting for the mainstream markets. Musically Shaktrupe is a highly-energised fusion of swaggering eclectic rhythms, intresting melodies and pounding hip-hop beats. This album finds Da Paleprophet in his most creative phase to date, actively embracing the group's cultural and musical roots. Try mixing Buena Vista Social Club, Caravana and the Wu Tang Klan; add a couple of axe wielding maniacs and you'll begin to understand Da Paleprohet's ability to seamlessly cross musical and cultural boundaries has always helped to set ST apart from the Hip-hop crowds and, as ever, the high points of The Trupe are largely tied to the pinnacles of Perms' creativity along with the madman The Inflictsta. The album really comes alive.

He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat
Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
The best way to keep one's word is not to give it
There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
