4 Wordsmith and Chubb Rock: Bridging the Gap (Unruly)
When one of Baltimore’s most prolific verbal gymnasts teamed up with one of hip-hop’s golden age MCs, it wasn’t an effort to revisit a bygone era when the music and the message intertwined into an instantly memorable feel-good jam. Instead, Wordsmith and Chubb Rock offered a crisp reminder that such heady hip-hop isn’t gone, merely less pimped than its trap/thug kin. Bridging the Gap’s 13 tracks might recall the late ’80s/early ’90s with its jazzy vibe and casual attitude, but both MCs rhyme about the now with clear-eyed precision, never more so than on the witty “Clay Davis,” which turns Isiah Whitlock Jr.’s signature sheeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit into a vocal hook around which the two MCs offer a verbal snapshot of today’s hip-hop nation: “We do it for the Browns, we do it for Simpsons/ We do it for Obama and Hillary Clinton/ We do it for the heteros safely screwing, alternative lifestyles and how you doing?” (Bret McCabe)

Bridging the Gap is a strong showing from both the old timer and the newcomer. Both dudes are at the top of their spit game and the production is top notch!
Strada’s work on “Bridging the Gap” provides the kind of funk bass samples that Dr. Dre mastered before he went into seclusion as well as a production highlight for the record.
