Rather than spend 50 minutes mulling over the old days, Price proves that he can change with the times. Equipped with a chopped vocal sample from Justus League producer Khrysis, and an imposing chorus from Tek, Sean spits fierce rhymes on the lead single “Onion Head,” which demand his rightful respect. He raps about everything he loves on the outstanding “Heartburn” over 9th Wonder’s soothing violin backdrop and admits to receiving four-dollar royalty checks on the revealing interlude, “Brokest Rapper You Know.” Armed with strong BCC cameos and seamless production from a variety of beatsmiths, Monkey Barz show us that Sean P still has a position on hip hop’s playground.

Sean Price - Monkey Barz
Video gamers may recognize Sean Price from the Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack song, “Rising to the Top,” with Agullah’s off-pitch crooning. However, knowledgeable hip-hop heads know that Price was formerly known as Ruck, one half of the lyrical duo Heltah Skeltah. After blazing the New York city streets throughout the mid-nineties then fading into obscurity, Sean Price breaks the silence with his solo debut, Monkey Barz.
