Ill Fated - Califunk is one of the EPs that got lost in the slough of gangsta rap in 1994. This EP is an under group rap EP from Sacramento, California. This EP had a more Bay Area sound in terms of rap. If this EP had been released as a full album, then the album would have gotten more play and not have been forgotten.
Ill Fated is none other than The Techni-Crew. Techni-Crew had changed their name to Ill Fated because of the change in times and musical direction. Crews were becoming outdated by 1994. So they changed to a different name. Ill Fated sounded a lot harder and more gangsta than their original name. Notice that the group changed their style and sound.
Califunk blends the sound of funk and gangsta rap into one mixture. The song is driven by one funky ass beat. The song is a dedication to the state of California.
Hott Butt Naked Sexx is a 2 Live Crew type of track with a sexy upbeat vibe and tempo. The song acts as ode to naked anal sex. The song samples a portion of Ohio Players - Funky Worm. However the sample sped up 2x.
Ill Fated brings out that California funk on Out There. The song is laced with heavy rumbling bass perfect for your stereo system. The lyrics are harder on this song as they are on Califunk.
I rate this EP 4/5****!!
