The Dark Side Does it again

Although not as solid as more recent releases, this album by Iam is, nevertheless, worth a listen. In addition to pure rap, they try mixing other styles of music into their beats, and have several short interludes that are entertaining. A good listen, plus as it's two CDs there is extra music

This is pure genius !

Ombre est lumiere is a phenomenal album by one of the most creative rap bands in the world. Their only problem is they rap in French and nobody understands. Using many samples of arabic instruments IAM let you listen to the whole range of what rap music can be and should be. 36 titles, joy, pain, rage, laughs and mysticism. A monument.
