Welcome to music. Music as it was meant to be heard. Welcome to Unified School District, the hip-hop for those that hate "real" hip-hop. Hear the beats, the composition and orchestration intertwined with words, with thought and punches. Self Uno and Ecto One are set to blow up and take the rest of the world with them. On their debut album Hacienda Acapulco Unified takes steps to the promised land with jaw dropping hip-hop anthems such as Gutwrenching and The Anthem (feelings). SelfUno sets other emcees on their necks, using words to his advantage in the fight for respect. The melodies of "Stitches" and "Heaven Awaits" show a group taking this art form to the level that only few approach. Just in case their heart is questioned Unified brings "Ron Baxter pt1" and "Big Dumb Love pt2" which plumbs the depths needed to cement this group as the next step in music, not just hip hop, but music. So buy the album, borrow the album, steal the album but listen and tell all your friends. This is not something that needs to slip through the cracks.
