Domingo The Most Underrated

• Words: Max Herman

• XLR8R Rating: 7/10

Domingo isn't exaggerating much when he calls himself "the most underrated." Despite carrying a production résumé that boasts top-notch singles with KRS-One, Big Pun, Non-Phixion, and others, this NYC native has received very little recognition over the years. Unfortunately, even with his debut, he's not likely to garner wide acceptance-most of these robust, sample-driven tracks (with Big Daddy Kane, Guru, etc.) sound like they could have been recorded a decade ago. But while Domingo hasn't conformed to modern production trends, he still delivers East Coast-centric fire nearly every time. Nostalgic hip-hoppers will love this album.
