The Grouch and Eligh CD reviewed

Rob Riddum

Indie hip-hop duo The Grouch and Eligh further cement their legacy as “Living Legends” on the release “Say E and G."

Fans of L.A.-based collective “Living Legends,” will find this album stays true to the formula that has been a staple in the West coast indie rap scene since the early '90s.

There's nothing less than a standard display of penmanship on a conscientious tip. The lyrics are backed by production work that work well as instrumental hip-hop on its own.

The first single released off the album, “All In” uses Texas Hold’em as a metaphor. “All In” features “Pigeon John” on the chorus and additional lyrics by the “Gift of Gab.”

This song will certainly be the jam of the summertime for many people.

“All In” is only one of several cameos. Other artists featured are Sage Francis, Slug “a.k.a” Atmosphere, Blu, along with several others.

So, say it loud, say it proud — “Say E and G!"
