DJ Shorte & LP are a Miami based hip hop duo who made an album in 1997, Environmentalities that has become something of a cult classic. It featured the single Color Blind and a collaboration with multiplatinum artist Aaron Hall. DJ Shorte originally hails from the Bronx, while LP is from Hyde Park, Chicago. They met in South Florida through DJ Shorte’s brother who was LP’s first partner in music.

This EP consists of five hip hop tracks and a spoken word intro from Navigator, who is one of several rappers making a guest appearance. The EP also features Jocamoe Dundee, JLB, Incan Lama and Kevens. Rather unusually, every track from the EP is going to be put out as a single, with the full EP released in 2016.

Overall, this is a fantastic hip hop EP that manages to combine first class beats, samples and production from DJ Shorte with super intelligent and socially aware lyrics from LP and his fellow emcees. Owing to the glamorization of violence and material possessions in hip hop today, it more than ever needs positive, inspirational music like this that encourages self-improvement rather than self-indulgence. A classic EP.
