O.C. keeps the generosity going over at his Bandcamp page with the release of a long-awaited gem. This is one of those albums that remind me of my best days of visiting Fat Beats record store in NYC. Also, the FM radio airwaves were on fire in the city with the Hip Hop of D.I.T.C and Premier in '97. The fine balance between aggressive and soulful sounds that O.C. demonstrates on "Jewelz" in a way reflects some of the Hip Hop music spectrum of this time. It was a time when even the roughest gun-packing rapper could feel free to make people feel good. Sit back and enjoy the head-nod of a well-rounded album that still shines like a precious gem.
