▓ [ about this release ] ▓
░ ░
Here's the 2nd Gravediggaz album for you hip-hop heads.
All I can say is this is a great album, not too many
similarities between this and their first album 6 Feet Deep,
this one focuses more on the positive side of life, sort of
a ying-yang type thing. Nevertheless, they were still kickin'
out rhymes that dug the mentally dead out their graves.
Enjoy! And Buy CDs!
"You either dig your own grave, or be a gravedigga.."
--The Gatekeeper
R.I.P. Too Poetic aka Grym Reaper
Note: This album has a lot of artifacts in the recording. It's
how the CD is. Buy it and you'll see.
Between the Gravediggaz' first album, Six Feet Deep, and the
second, The Pick, The Sickle, The Shovel, RZA became the
most influential producer in hip-hop, as his productions for
the various Wu-Tang Clan side projects established his
distinctive, skeletal style as rap's cutting edge. So, it's
a little surprising that The Pick doesn't showcase RZA, even
though there are several tangental Wu members on the disc.
Instead, the production team of Poetic, True Master, Fourth
Disciple, Goldfinghaz and Darkim mastermind the sound of the
album, which is light-years away from the violent horrorcore
of Six Feet Deep. The Pick has a layered, textured surface,
filled with inventive, unpredictable samples that create a
hypnotic web. Appropriately, RZA, Prince Paul, Poetic and
Frukwan have smarter rhymes this time around, exploring
social problems instead of wallowing in comic book gore. At
times, the album's momentum sags, but overall, The Pick, The
Sickle, The Shovel is a quantum leap forward for the
Gravediggaz -- unlike its predecessor, it's an album that
reflects its creators' intelligence.--Stephen Thomas

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as
pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell
providers. If you can help out by providing one of
these to this noble cause please come visit us in
