"Known mostly for his work with New York cult favorites Monsta Island Czars, Kamackeris (a.k.a. Kwite Def a.k.a. KD) is strapped with one of the most ferocious voices in hip-hop, an effortlessly rugged, perpetually grimy flow that just demands to be heard. His first big break came as a member of Dirt Nation, who scored a hit with the female weed dealer jam ""Khadijah"" off the Sugar Hill soundtrack back in 1993. After shining on various M.I.C. projects, he finally drops his highly anticipated debut. Produced entirely by longtime compatriot X-Ray, Artz and Craftz is a near-flawless album that grabs you by the throat and never lets go. From unabashedly hardcore joints like ""Kill or Be Killed"" and ""B*****s Ain't S**t"" to the contemplative, introspective tunes ""FYI"" and ""Live Life,"" every track on here is top-notch. Despite limited promotion, KD delivers one of the most impressive efforts of the decade. A slept-on masterpiece. "
