My first encounter with Megalon was on MF DOOM's classic album 'Operation Doomsday', Mega first appeared as Tommy Gunn on 'The Finest' and again ripped it as Megalon on 'Greenbacks', instantly creating a huge buzz for himself in the underground. It would be a full 5 years though before Mega blesses us with this gem, and luckily for the fans it lives up to everything we could have wanted.
First things first, Mega is as sharp as he's ever been, his rapid-fire. non-stop flow is hate it or love it but fans of Tommy's machine gun flow will be in heaven when hearing this very talented mc rip through this 22 track album without missing a breath. His lyrics are deep and complex, taking multiple listens to fully decipher and become more rewarding with each listen. Production is handled of course by X-Ray who laces the album with beats that fit tommy perfectly, DOOM also contributes a beat in the form of the classic 'Rainblood' which finds Tommy hitting the streets full force. The album is very much a Tommy Gunn affair, with very few guest verses (from Ray Long) its pretty much Megalon all the way through, this also leads to the albums only real fault as well though, 22 tracks of Mega's style can be somewhat hard to swollow, the lp would have been much better served had it been cut down to 16 tracks or so. Still an amazing listen and a classic NY underground album, a must check for MIC fans
Overall - 4/5
