Fifth Floor – Attention 2 detail (CLASSIX)

Classix r hardly found in this young Hip Hop industry in Mzantsi. Classix; da evalasting shit, da ever potent spit, tymless shit. Tymless in dat it cannot be confined to a certain era. Classix, lyk Meatloaf, classix lyk the cranberries, classix lyk Sebastian Bach.
Yeah I said it lyk Sebastian Bach. This is how this album feels. Classic Hip Hop which cannot be confined to a place or tym. This 2000000000 Album is one of S.A’s finest works.
Fifth Floor, a crew 4rm CPT gave us an album in the infant stages of our game which was overlooked by the masses. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. That tittle shud be proof enough dat it is a banger.
The album starts of with ‘Higher Learning’, a soft drum track which gives a pace for the album. With lines lyk “for knowing 4 fact, dat Jesus is black, believing he is white” we given there idea dat the album ain’t just punchlines n rhymes but thought provoking music.
‘Creation’ the only track dat had mad rotation on da radio stations, ups da pace as Koriander hits it off with a ragga influenced flow with Camo in tow. 1 cannot wanda were there dude has hid himself (Koriander), mad talent ryt there.
‘Relax’ a track by Camo n Casual T slows down the pace as they tell a story of takin it easy. They paint a picture of how beautiful life cud b if the mind cud be stress free on a sweet beat by K Nzama.
Z Mazola of Freshly Ground lends her beautiful sound to give ‘Siveni’ a mellow tone to the album. De track tells of how Africans r actually rich beings who have just been misplaced and misled into unknown territory. Mayibuye!
Praise to the feminine species is recited on ‘I adore u’ and Koriander and Fungus blast at it with ‘Cant Cool,’ with Final call n the beat.
The album aint one for the clubs or for fast paced atmosphere it needs one to pay Attention in order to feel the gravity of it. It is a collage of storytelling to simple emceeing as we see on the track ‘Celestial Mechanism’
A few tracks slack off lyk ‘How u lyk it’ n ‘Posse Cut’ which features Snaaz D and Gemini 4rm Cashless Society. 1 wud have thought it wud be 1 of the hardest tracks on the album but it sadly it falls short.
Other tracks which r worth noting have to be ‘Imbumba’ n ‘Soul Control’
The crew likes to refer to themselves as the Fifth Floor family. I have no idea how many Emcees r actually part of the crew but lyk dey say ‘de more de merrier’ as it has proven on this album.
