Bumpy Knuckles has been doing cameos in the hip-hop
game for years; finally, with his debut album,
Industry Shakedown, he truly gets to shine. The title
of the album conjures up the notion of music business
deconstruction and many of the songs are dedicated to
or touch upon this very subject. Bumpy Knuckles (aka
Freddie Foxxx) has a blunt delivery, to say the least,
and this album is replete with vulgarities and slurs,
but don't let that turn you away, roughness is
inherent of a "Bumpy" style. That's how the
self-proclaimed "thug" gets his point across. In fact,
if there were a "clean" version of the album, more
than half the lyrics would be edited out. Industry
Shakedown stands above many contemporary hip-hop
albums in the production arena. The album features the
production of the one and only DJ Premier, the
ever-consistent Pete Rock, the slept-on Diamond D, and
the up-and-coming beat smith, the Alchemist. Check the
sure-shot tracks, "Bumpy Knuckles Baby," "Stock in the
Game," and "Part of My Life." Bumpy himself even tries
his hand at production, but his exploits tend to be
the weakest tracks on the album; they are avoidable.
All in all, the beats elevate Industry Shakedown to
the upper echelons of turn of the century hip-hop.
