NYC Hip Hop: The Sleepwalkas

Hit snooze. The Sleepwalkas have crafted a somnambulist’s wet dream. The primarily loop-based beats on this album are hot and fresh out of the oven with a flavor recalling many a late-90s and early 00’s summer jam. The lyricism, which shines in its positivity and candor, is full of that MC bravado established by the originators of the artform. Guest appearances by local superstars Homeboy Sandman and Sadat X add extra spice, and are further augmented by a ferocious verse from ex-Sleepwalka Vexed-Lo. The Sleepwalkas exemplify that dreaming big is just the first step towards living large. – BrokeMc
