Iconz: Luc Duc, Stage McCloud, Chapter, Pit Bull, Supa Starr.Additional personnel: Lil' Kim, Lil' E, Suicide, Red Eyezz, Blac Haze, Polo Dynasty, Piccalo, Heron, Blade, Shadow, Chronic Fog, Nimrod, Honor, Rebel, Princess T, Tre Da Hard Way.Recorded at The Lab Studios, North Miami Beach, Florida.The music of Iconz, as represented on the hit album STREET MONEY, is full of the kind of in-your-face violence and urban hedonism de rigeur in 21st century rap. The group leaves little doubt as to the level of its street cred, but from the offbeat vocal melodies of "Laughin' at Ya" to the infectious syncopation of the opening cut "Home-Vade," Iconz display a consistent ability to temper their hard-hitting lyrics with catchy, radio-ready hooks.Most of the cuts bear a relentless sonic urgency typified by forceful beats and a confrontational, up-front rapping style, but Iconz aren't merely a one-trick pony. Such tracks as "You're a Trick," with its relatively subdued, R&B-flavored setting, show that the group understands the value of contrast as well as the impact of unadulterated hip-hop fury.
