The Prodigal Son of Bazerk Return

Long Island's finest hip-hop soul crew was ahead of its time. That time might be now.

Back like they forgot something

Back like they forgot something

It's exactly how you'd want a group that hasn't released anything for close to two decades to sound: no undignified reaches toward the Drake generation, just resolutely vintage moments like "Let Me Tell You Who I Am," which combines the eerie feel of Efil 4 Zaggin–era N.W.A. with the punch of peak Public Enemy. If your cornerstone rap albums hail from SOB's early-'90s heyday, this song's your new private anthem, whisking you back 20 years in the best possible way. By simply sticking to their blueprint, they've chalked up a fittingly long-haul victory. "We've been at this for a while now," Bazerk testifies. "We're not too bad at it."

Son of Bazerk Featuring No Self Control and the Band perform at Central Park SummerStage August 15 with Public Enemy
