Big lad, big testimony, big head-bludgeoning sound. With his innovative lyrical content, phat hooks and very direct delivery, Big Kuan is sure to minister to hearts and souls. This four and a half track single contains two head-turners; "Meat Market" hits home as BK takes a nocturnal cruise past the down town clubs where the night life is "bling bling". Pounding beats, stabbing synths and some guy wandering about playing a tin whistle!!?) give this track an odd freshness. "Testimony" develops a cool contrast in vocals between BK's thick old school delivery and his R&B side kick who takes care of the infectious melody. This is about as street level and gritty as rap comes; challenging stuff.
