Review:"Chicago's own La Juntatakes Hip Hop to a new level! La Junta combines traditional Hip Hop with modern electronicsto create an incredible sound. By far, their material is the most original Hip Hop on MP3.com.In their theme song "La Who?", they introduce themselves with an addictive flow. Just as theBeastie Boys added their own uniqueness to the diverse fabric of Hip Hop, La Junta brings HipHop to a new level. You get a different style from each MC. There's Grimlock (The Brown), &X-Man (The Alphabetic). Their rhymes are really clever, and their production is excellent. "LaWho?" is one enjoyable work of Hip Hop. What I enjoy most about La Junta is theircombination of futuristic sound with clever rhymes. Who be the future of Hip Hop?
