Produced by Paris, who has created some of the best albums in hip hop history, the duo, The Conscious Daughters, come with their debut album. Despite being associated with Paris, who always spits about conscious/political issues, and their name, a lot of the lyrics don't venture far from brag rap. 'Shitty Situation' is about an unwanted pregnancy and 'Wife of a Gangsta' kind of feels like a cautionary tale of sorts about being in a relationship with a G, but there isn't many actual conscious themes here which is surprising. The production feels quite different from what Paris was producing for himself on his solo projects showing some of his versatility. It's all pretty great though. The remixes, found on the reissue, are all worthy. The remix of 'Somethin' to Ride to (Fonky Expedition)' adds some more vibey g-funk and improves it. 'Sticky Situation' on the other hand makes 'Shitty Situation' sound rawer. 'We Roll Deep (Smooth Radio Remix)' samples 'Between the Sheets' by The Isley Brothers which of course makes it dope. The main thing that lets this down is the content, as a number of tracks don't have much. Paris does his thing on the boards though and the two females rap well. It's well worth checking out if you like mid-'90s west coast hip hop.
