This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
New York wax spinner Revolution is a DJ in every sense of the word — along with working the wheels of steel at clubs, he hosts the World Famous Wake Up! Show, the largest syndicated hip-hop radio show in the U.S.
On this debut disc, he uses his sure hand and a sharp needle to slice and dice his way through a mega-mix of 17 tracks from the likes of Kool Keith’s Dr. Dooom and Eminem. But Rev’s turntable sorcery is in full effect on his own tracks, which combine his free-range sampling — everything from jazz to South Park’s Eric Cartman — with sparse, kicking beats and virtuoso scratching into mind-melting hip-hop excursions that take turntablism to the next level. Revolution? He might want to consider changing that to Evolution.
