WORDBURLAR - Burglaritis (Hand'solo Records/ URBNET Records)
Reported by: DJ Slim




With clever snappy punchlines Canadian MC Wordburglar is looking to stamp his mark on your concsiousness with his second full-length release. Metaphors abound across the 20 tracks as Wordburglar brings his smile-raising skills to the fore following good receptions on the live circuit as he is backed by production from the likes of Beatmason, Uncle Fes, Fresh Kils, Jorun Bombay and Ghettosocks.? Meanwhile the guests enlisted by the Wordburglar are strictly underground including LA Symphony and Quannum Projects' Pigeon John.? While not every track hits wuith full impact, at his best Wordburglar delivers a comic-book style with his tongue wedged firmly in his cheek and recalls the light-hearted raps of the Fresh Prince with the off-the-wall appeal of the Beastie Boys. 'Burglaritis' sees Wordburglar having developed his skills without selling out from his punchline led flow and looks set to see an increase in his following among rhyme focussed below-the-surface denizens.
