Dirty Work - Fatality is one of the many Michigan rap releases and Detroit rap releases that pops up online from time to time but not too frequently. Being that the album was released in the mid-90s, the album goes for a hefty price when being sold online to buyers. Sometimes this album goes for over $200 dollars.
For some reason this album keeps appearing on Japanese websites such Yahoo! Auction, hmv.co, and melonbooks. The album has popped up seldomly on Yahoo! Auction and hmv.co over the years. Japan is known for having bigger market of 90s rap music than the United States. In Japan’s case, they favor 90s Michigan rap and 90s American rap (US).
Overall this album is a dope rap album which people had slept on. Songs on this album have lyrics that rhyme and make sense. Take the title track for instance. Also take Henna Bou, Push Comes To Shove,
Dirty Work is James Smith (Jay), Jesse Cunningham (Rashee), and Dearnard Taylor (Doggy). The group is a trio as shown on the album cover. Dirty Work was from Detroit, Michigan.
The title track is a representation of what the Dirty Work stands for and goes. The song Fatality serves as the opening and introduction for the album. Everything is driven by a kick drum, snares, funky electric bass, and a keyboard. That is the instrumentation backing this song.
It’s not about a salary. It’s all about fatality. That is how the Dirty Work goes. Those are the exact words you hear at the beginning. “It’s not about a salary, it’s all about fatality/The Dirty Work goes”
Single kicks to your grill is how Dirty Work is serving you. You can guarantee they’ll bring pain. Uncontrollable man cutting throats like a wolverine. They aren’t scared of you. The trio brings out deadly rhymes throughout the song. Fatalities are what they bring in their rhymes and raps.
Below are some of the lyrics to this song which have rhymes.
“What’s the deal?/I’m real, packin’ steel/In your grill/Leaving you dead on Sugar Hill”
“The Dirty Work goes/It’s not about a salary, it’s all about fatality”
“Fatality is what I bring when I swing these blows to your nose/Come with afros packing Calico”
“Who’s the next contender?/Send them through the blender”
Push Comes To Shove is backed by heavy eccentric bass over cosmic electric synths which have a celestial sound. The bass is hard hitting and will surely rattle your speakers. Dirty Work is coming with their skills on each and every flow.
Don’t nobody know what to expect when push comes to shove. Ain’t no love for the set. People are preparing to catch wreck. The song delves into a past memory when Dirty Work had 4 people. That is what the lyrics “Dirty Work/Remember there were 4 of us” mean. How the members met each other is discussed. When push comes to shove, you get back on your feet.
The song AIDS deal with the touchy subject of having full-blown AIDS. Dirty Work wants the public to recognize and have awareness of AIDS. AIDS comes from unprotected sex. AIDS can come from unprotected sex and yeast infections. People who neglect their have tend to have AIDS.
The 4 minute song Henna Bou has some dope G-Funk beats. The song is an ode to Hennessy. People who drink a lot tend to drink Hennessy. Hennessy can make people so good by taken towards a state of drunkeness and smoothness. Dirty Work describes the taste of Henna Bou as being smooth. There is something irresistible about Henna Bou. Be cautious when drinking Henna Bou.
I rate this album 4/5****.
