Fittingly enough, Prolyphic and Reanimator is composed of MC Prolyphic and producer Reanimator. The former being a native of Providence Rhode Island, while the latter hails from Chicago. The got together at the urging of one Sage Francis, who then made the duo the first Rapper/Producer combo signed to his Strange Famous label. With that backstory, if you think Prolyphic and Reanimator are on some Cash Money & Marvelous “rap is fun!” type steez, you either aren’t very bright or just aren’t paying attention.
Prolyphic is an angry young man. Not bring-an-uzi-to-the mall-and-mow-down-fatties angry, but angry enough to vent his way through the majority of the 15 tracks on the album. Luckily for us, that’s a good thing. Done wrong, the angry, loner hip hop fundamentalist viewpoint can result in some painful music that’s serious as a heart attack, but no fun to listen to. That isn’t the case here. Prolyphic has a distinctive voice, and he’s a solid lyricist with a knack for clever choruses, which seems kind of rare in the indie rap spectrum. Pair that with a very talented beatmaker in Reanimator, who knows exactly how to tailor his dark, layered soundscapes to fit his partner’s flow like a glove, and you have yourself a debut album that was worth the three years that it was in the making.
