This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review R.O.M.E -N- Tha Darkcide - Slippin N Tha Darkness. This album was released on Funky Town Productions outta Fort Worth, Texas, and distributed by Midwest Records in Dallas, Texas in 1995. (Funky Town Productions is a part of Funky Town Records based outta Fort Worth, Texas.) R.O.M.E -N- Tha Darkcide are from Luling, Texas. A small town of 3,300 people 31 miles or so right outside of Austin, Texas. Which is The Live Music Capital of The World!! (There is a PO Box to Luling, Texas. Those of you who have this CD should already know.)
Although this CD is Hip Hop/Rap, I can heard the blends of Electronic, Rock, and Soundtrack. This is a very horrorcore album. Especially with the Frankenstein zombie-esque crooked pointy red lettering with thee yellow crescent moon to the right and the black tree branches to the left.
The first track is Slippin N' Tha Darkness. Slippin N' Tha Darkness is a very G-Funk horrorcore track. You can hear a chorus in the background. Slippin N' Tha Darkness samples the track Be Down by Ghetto Boys. (Ghetto Boys is now Geto Boys.) This is one dark mood for a track. The second track is Distant Train. The Blues harmonica is present in the background. Distant Train talks about topics such as slavery, making friends with your enemies, making peace, shooting, and killings on government owned Section 8 housing. This is a really negative track. But there are things in life that will be negative.
The third song is The Devil Wanna Smoke Me. This track is mixed with Electronica and Hip Hop/Rap. It is 9 and half minutes long. Enough to make up an entire length or an album sampler. The fourth and last song is Goodnight.
Although the album only has 4 songs, you should buy it! Even thought it's more of an EP. But get this! There were only 200 copies EVER made of that CD. It is extremely rare!!! This is one EP that both US, Japanese, French, and German sellers and buyers online will definitely go after!
I rate this album/EP, Slippin N' Tha Darkness, 5/5*****!
