Percee P Perseverance

• Words: Rico "Superbizzee" Washington
• Label: Stones Throw
• XLR8R Rating: 8/10

Percee P hails from one of NYC’s toughest housing projects, hard as it may be to conceive from the slight Southern drawl he sports. After a handful of one-off singles and two decades of dues paid, Percee’s debut full-length finally arrives chockfull of choppy head-nod beats and guest appearances (Chali 2na, Aesop Rock, Diamond D, Prince Po, Guilty Simpson). With beatsmith and labelmate Madlib on the MPC, Percee slices through 19 cuts of raw fire with the voracity of a thirsty new jack with something to prove (or an old head with kids to feed). All non-believers, check the lung-collapsing flow of “Throwback Rap Attack.”
