“Few hip-hop acts from the early aE˜90s had greater success crossing over from the hood to the aE˜burbs than the East Orange, N.J. trio of Treach, Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee. After Naughty By Nature broke out with the Jackson 5-sampling,adultery-advocating hit aEœO.P.P.aEaE”you know, aEœO is for other, P is for people scratching templeaE¦ the last P, well, thataE™s not so simpleaEaE”they followed with one of rapaE™s most epic party anthems in aEœHip Hop HoorayaE and went on to sell more than 3.5 million copies of their six albums. With the trioaE™s history in mind, the title of its first original-lineup album in more than a decade is perfectly fitting: Anthem Inc. And if a recent Daytrotter appearance is any indication, NBNaE™s skills (especially TreachaE™s machine gun delivery) are as sharp as ever.” Text and photos by Nick Feldman.Published on May 24, 2011
