Bahamadia
's 1996 debut album
Kollage
is rightly regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of the 1990s. For the first time ever, Be With presents the definitive double LP version of this eternal hip-hop classic, including the legendary "Path To Rhythm" which never appeared on the original LP or on vinyl, anywhere. An indelible vibe from start-to-finish,
Kollage
presents Bahamadia's swirling rhymes delivered with an irresistibly butter flow and razor-sharp assuredness over a steady slew of smoothed-out, jazzed-up, blunted beats. Achingly cool and effortlessly funky throughout, it's an absolute must for true '90s hip-hop fanatics. The entire
Kollage
project was recorded at D&D Studios and the ties to
Gang Starr
are keenly felt, with
DJ Premier
producing five tracks in addition to the killer songs
Guru
had already produced with her. Working with the cream of the mid-'90s East Coast sound,
Kollage
is, accordingly, a record that demonstrates a varied musical taste with disparate influences. With intelligent, poetic lyricism and a laconic verbal style bursting with both warm texture and deceptive energy, Bahamadia's flow was as inspired by
Aretha
and
Nancy Wilson
as it was
Q-Tip
,
Schoolly D
and
Lady B
. Incredibly, only the European and Japanese CD versions of
Kollage
were released with the brilliantly breezy "Path To Rhythm," featuring
Ursula Rucker
. Whilst ostensibly a "bonus track," it's anything but. Very much in sonic conversation with
KRS-One
's stretched-out sleeper classic "Higher Level," it's absolutely essential. Somewhat predictably, whilst
Kollage
was released to significant critical acclaim, it suffered from disappointing sales. In the intervening years -- and for far too long -- it was a criminally underrated record, an increasingly hidden gem. This Be With double LP reissue has been mastered for vinyl by
Simon Francis
, cut by
Cicely Balston
, and pressed at Record Industry. It's too bold and beautiful to remain overlooked and underserved.
