Nitro Microphone Underground

Nitro Microphone Underground are one of those groups where it is hard to tell who is actually in it and who is it (like wu-tang or the crappy so solid crew). Full time members include Suiken, Gore-tex, Deli, Dabo, XBS (extra bass speaker), Maka Chin, Big Zam and S-Word. They have done collaborations with Shakazombie and about half of Muro's work. Most of them have done some solo work, especially Suiken and Dabo. My personal favorite MC in the group is Gore-tex who brought out a solo album - reload. (Strangely, allthough Gore-tex appears on many songs on the Nitro Microphone album, he is credited under different names. (The best alias he uses is "more-sex"!)

The Nitro Microphone Underground album is one of the best Japanese albums I have heard (actually, probably the best). All of the full length songs are very good, and the only lousy stuff on it is less than 2 minutes. For me the standout tracks are "Bambu", "Asama 131" and "Requiem", but there isn't a lot in it, as most of the songs on the album are up to that standard anyway.



brothers on the run mp3 it's a gore-tex track featuring other nitro members. it's like a japanese 100 miles of running.
64 bars relay mp3 shakkazombie featuring a few nitro members. it's also about running. If you feel like doing some healthy jogging, you could have those two on your mp3 player. along with "100 miles of running", and "hit it run". what sort of freak goes jogging though.
