I?"cEp 'r4 j;Jn Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
@5zL4n@w astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
>E?626* full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
<!&nyuSz of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
r M'snW) it to the limit?before pushing right through it.

~LHG Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
Hw<t>z
k only in the last 12 months that things have really
?YX2CJ6N taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
Bfaj4i;_ Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
"sf8~P9qy Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
zF(I#|Vo NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
]gkI:scPA they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
|>GtClL exciting artists in America right now'.

3C: E@R7b(:* It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
N(]6pG= that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
"m _wYX that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
#=5/D@ it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
2>.B*P gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
V;~W,o ! philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
DK&J"0jz, night''.
1Xt%O86 nod?v2% Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
_*9eAeJ girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
PR{?l Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
wvcG <sj with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
!V$m!i; attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
^4O1:_|G Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
,S2D/Y^> multiply it by ten.
5"c#OU HzF These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
pqBd# ?though there are some great melodies like Buy

F p Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
SQ]&nDd this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500

= AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be

~T LI&[ Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
),mKEpf vkOCyi?c They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
lDnF(
the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
0[7\p\Q cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
^0R.'XL Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
* h!gjbi equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
5yI_uQR breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
8Sd<!
Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
{k%*j 4 powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
b\Y<1EV^[ challenging listen which will more than reward
b<P9@h~: those brave enough to try it.
