"About a year a go 4th & B'way put out a compilation titled The Hill That's Real, some of the group's featured had flavor but the project went no where. One bright spot was an MC named Little Fame. Now coupled with his partner Billy Danzenie, Fame is about to give you a formal introduction to talent. "How About Some Hardcore?" already has the buzz in NY. We're talkin' about a "Who Got the Props / Protect Ya Neck" vibe. And after one listen you'll see why. Trust us, go out and invest in the wax because Fame and Bill rap like they don't give a fuck. Not senseless nihilism, mind you, but with out restraint. Youthful energy at its best. The beat is full of bass and horns but not like most NYC tracks. It definitely stands out and makes you ask, "Who dat?" Producer Darrel D has the butter and the rhyme delivery is what you wish more people would do." If you ever wondered what it would sound like if Redman and Kool G Rap had formed a group or if Run DMC had started in the 90s, this is it. The rhymes come rapid-fire: "But of course I drop n!ggas like drawers / N!ggas'll hit the floors from the mutherf#ckin' fo-fours" ... It's almost like they're trying to out do each other on each verse. But in '94 that what you be trying to do. You've got to treat each record like it's your last." - The Source (2/94).
