Brand Nubian - Fire In The Hole (Babygrande)

by: Dan Frosch

Brimming with the enlightened lyrics and classic soul samples we expect from Grand Puba, Sadat X, and Lord Jamar, Fire in the Hole is Brand Nubian at its revolutionary apex.

Brimming with the enlightened lyrics and classic soul samples we expect from Grand Puba, Sadat X, and Lord Jamar, Fire in the Hole is Brand Nubian at its revolutionary apex. The moving “Just Don’t Learn” bemoans street violence, while “Young Son” portrays a father demanding responsibility from his seed, and “Where Are You Now?” tells the tale of a woman who leaves her jailed lover. Indeed, Brand Nubian’s compelling work hearkens back to a day when hip hop made you hit the dance floor and contemplate life’s realities, all in one beat.
