The tracks on Felt aren't necessarily about Christina Ricci, but it's a great front behind which to make a hell of a good rap record. Produced by The Grouch (better known as one half of the duo, Eligh and The Grouch), Felt showcases the talents of both (Living Legends and Def Jux MC) Murs and (Atmosphere frontman) Slug over beats that run the gamut from the steadily merciless electro bounce of songs like "The Two," to the more playful and soulful, sunny and warm tones of tracks like "Hot Bars." Being able to hear Slug and Murs on the same release is a real treat. Murs' seriously skilled, old-school-flavored and smart rhymes blend well with Slug's clever, perceptional lyrics and smug delivery, definitely making Felt a soon-to-be highly sought after classic.
