Lowdown Da Sinista - Going Thru A Thing [1996]



Straight outta Memphis with a voice that's unique
Have to lay down with this Glock just to get some sleep

By '96 the norm of Memphis rap delivery was already settling around Three 6 Mafia's hushed, smoked out mumbles. So when Lowdown Da Sinista released his first (and unfortunately last) album Coming For Your Soul, it was rejuvenating to hear a more aggressive, visceral tone reminiscent of groups like N.W.A and Geto Boys over the same familiar Memphis production. The project itself can be a little hit or miss but underground classics like Going Thru A Thing place Lowdown's hard-hitting horrorcore raps right at the forefront despite the thumping instrumental's best efforts.
