    └────────┘

     Taking hip-hop back to the elemental, J-Zone produced, engineered, mixed,
     rhymed and DJed on, promoted, and pressed his 1998 debut "Music For Tu
     Madre" - literally his senior college project - himself, even selling
     copies out of the trunk of his Mazda Protege, according to legend, before
     the ink had yet to dry on his college diploma. There's also another,
     musical quality that the album shares with an earlier era of rap music: an
     absurdist sense of humor. In fact, J-Zone - a one-time apprentice to Slick
     Rick partner-in-rhyme Vance Wright - elevates lampoonery to the same high
     art as Biz Markie did before him. Unintentional though the album may have
     originally been, its pleasures - the production par excellence and a not
     inconsiderable number of gut laughs - are entirely of a voluntary nature.
     At just over forty minutes, it isn't exactly the EP it purports to be, and
     lucky for listeners.

     J-Zone and his troop of side-men MCs, most impressively Al-Shid and Huggy
     Bear, skewer every aspect of hip-hop culture that comes into their purview,
     whether the sorry state of radio ("FM Blues") or around-the-way girls who
     think they're all that but lack both the "all" and the "that" ("Candy
     Razors") or the music's commercialization and lack of artistic vision ("5
     Years?"), though they save much of their deprecation to preemptively
     deflate their own egos and J-Zone does get serious on one of the album's
     finest tracks, "Inauguration Day".

     "Music For Tu Madre" may be juvenilia, and occasionally sophomoric at that,
     but it is full of such brilliant sparks of wit and musical merit that it
     more than rewards the effort it takes to track down, either in its original
     vinyl and cassette pressing (beyond rare and almost impossible to find) or
     in its proper 2002 CD/vinyl reissue (extremely limited but still
     intermittently available). Above and beyond that, if the album earned its
     creator anything lower than a B+ in class, there was obviously some kind of
     grade fix in the works.
