via article in the East Bay ExpressBrief excerpts below
"Listening to Paris in 2008 is like walking on the edge of a razor blade. On one side of that slippery slope, the East Bay militant rap icon continues to espouse the anger and violent revolutionary tendencies he's famous for. On the other, as evident on his new album Acid Reflex, his music grooves and swirls and lifts. It seems clear that Paris' overall direction as a musician and beat-maker is heading toward club jams, so you balance somewhere between awareness and denial. . .
"The other big dose of positivity, and possibly the biggest news story associated with any album this year, is Paris' Golden Tickets. Three copies of Acid Reflex will have Willy Wonka-style Golden Tickets worth $10,000 each, good for education or housing. "We want to involve people, create value for our community," Paris enthused."

Since when has Paris been an "Oakland rapper"? I though the homie hailed from SF? Anyways, Paris hits hard, Sonic Jihad was amazing, and I can't wait to get my hands on this new piece.
Yeah blood, I dont even know. That was the East Bay Express's visual- I just jacked the shit. But it will be interesting to hear what he pulls out of the bag on this one.
