Kollage

Bahamadia raps in this low, unbothered register that makes everyone around her sound like they're trying too hard. Guru and DJ Premier show up but she doesn't need the cosign — "Uknowhowwedu" alone proves she can out-pocket most of the East Coast that year. The Nice & Smooth cut drags a little. Everything else is a clinic in restraint.
