Description
The album brings a gang of glorious misfits to the party – including Public Enemy legend Chuck D, the original Double Dutch Divas, Maryland_s pint sized Rapper_s Delight Club, Marina from Bonde Do Role, Amsterdam based Solex and Washington DC_s Frederick Douglas All Star Cheer Team. Songs on Proof of Youth include Grip Like A Vice which sees b-girls slaying the fellas with brass blasts, a clap machine, a pound shop keyboard and a ton of feedback. Doing it Right sounds like a marching band fully cranked through a Marshall stack. Keys to the City is epic widescreen Ennio Morricone transplanted to 70_s Brooklyn. Titanic Vandalism slams blaxploitation boogie against guitar crunch with some heavyweight vocal sparring from the ladyeez. Patricia_s Moving Picture is a sun soaked bus journey through a musical instrument shop. The only let up on Proof of Youth comes in the shape of Vince Guaraldi / Mo Tucker tinged duet I Never Needed it Now So Much and a cover version of long forgotten sound track to ITV schools programme My World.
