Analysis
Records, in collaboration with I.P.H. Records, proudly announces
the release of Insane Psycho Home Da LP, featuring up and coming
underground hip-hop artists Kukoo Da Baga Bonez and World Da
Universal One. Delivering clever lyrics over original, innovative
beats, Kukoo & World illustrate their unique skills represented
on individual tracks throughout the album. The two brothers’
New York experience resonates in their songs - streetwise, city
smart and experienced at the art of storytelling, the two grew
up in the borough of Queens experiencing the evolvement of hip-hop
from its humble beginnings on the streets of New York.
Kukoo’s distinct and varied lyrical skills are highlighted
on Insane Psycho Home with the music stylings of such notable
producers as Japan’s foremost independent hip-hop producer
DJ Krush and NYC’s established turntablist Mista Sinista
from the X-ecutioners. Tracks by emerging producers Michael
Woodruff (After the Attack), Rhas Los (Micharmaz) and Shakim
(All I Hear Iz), represent the development of Kukoo’s emerging
sound and hints of what to expect on his future solo release
later this year.
Always tight with his flows and deliveries, World represents
his experience and longevity in the rap game on Insane Psycho
Home Beat-heavy track Crazy , produced by Michael Woodruff,
showcases World‘s rhyme style and transmits his message
to all of those listening. Teaming up with former production
partner Pliz on a more ill-styled track, Funky Rhythm, World
drops mad scientist like lyrics to the sounds of strings off-count
beats.

"In the style of Mos Def and Gangstarr, Kukoo's debut 12
inch is a frenetically produced explosion. Kukoo has worked
with luminaries such as DJ Krush, X-ecutioners and the Beatnuts.
This 12-inch features cuts by Mista Sinista. First pressing
sold out in 6 seconds and we have only a few copies left."

"Whutz Da Solution" features NYC young buck, Kukoo
Da Baga Bonez. Solid fat beats-style track. It gets your head
nodding and there is no question this kid can rap his ass off."
