I had the pleasure to review an album from the hip hop team La Base & Tru Comers hailing from Switzerland. La Base is a 5 emcee group consisting of Ri-K, Buds Penseur, T-Sow, Ekzhall and Sokra and Tru Comers is a production duo consisting of X-pert and Sperrow. La Base and Tru Comers joined forces to make “… Jusqu’à La Mort” (Until the Death or Until Death) a follow up from their successful vinyl release called “Connexion” released back in 2013. I took my time listening to the album to give my honest review so here we go.
The only down part to this review is that most of the songs if not all are in French. Any individual versed in French should be able to consume this album in entirety but I couldn’t fully appreciate the freshness of “… Jusqu’à La Mort” because I don’t know the language. This is not the fault of La Base & Tru Comers but the fault of my own. I wish I could hear exactly what the emcees were saying and hopefully what they were saying wasn’t crazy or out there. I can tell La Base & Tru Comers studied US hip hop very well because in their videos the guys are wearing Polo, Timberland etc. capturing the flavor of the period. With all the Trap music and skinny jeans of today’s era, “… Jusqu’à La Mort” is a breath of fresh air.
