mmmh, for some Soon E MC can seem weak, and in average it might be, but I
have an old 12" called "o.p.i.d" that has an excellent gangbang mix on it. I
do remember checking out the LPs though and indeed they didn't do it for me...

that's the EP i talk about in a previous post. It's called "What's Up?" and
feature GilbR, dj Chris from the Mighty Bop, and a coupa other tracks. I
love it.

LP I have, they rap in english, but I think they are from France (or maybe
Switzerland).
