Robust ~ Potholes In Our Molecules
G4CD0022 - Release Date Feburary 24, 2004
A veteran of Chicago’s recent burst in underground hip hop, Robust is
known in the Chi town scene for his past collaborations with groups such
as Scam Artists and The Molemen. His 2000 independent release “Freelance
Gynecologist” got attention worldwide from fans and critics of dope
punchlines and humorous rhymes. Soon Bigga would appear on projects like
Sage Francis’ “Still Sick… Urine Trouble” & Qwel’s debut “If It Ain’t
Been In A Pawn Shop, Then It Can’t Play The Blues”, where he showed his
growth into a more serious lyricist.
After success with 7” single “Flibbertigibbit” (also on Meaty Ogre’s
recent “Leo vs. Pisces”), hip hop was definitely ready for Robigga to
step up the game. Enter “Potholes In Our Molecules”, the brand new full
length on Galapagos4.
Things get very serious on this deep album, as Robust bares it all from
the inside out, with his intricate flows & creative rhyme schemes
intact. Of course he comes off with some humor, wit & straight rap savvy
as well. The supremely crafted beats, handled mostly by Meaty Ogre &
east coast producer Prolyphic, create a solid moody backdrop to keep
your head stuck on nod. Dreas, Maker, DJ White Lightning, Sun Spark &
Bless also contribute heat to this 17 track album. Here's to life's
flawless imperfections, flawlessly perfected as hip hop potholes.
