Split Decision 2006 Album

Bathgate Fats

Bathgate, probably best known for his verse on the DJ Clue tapes, and Fats, for his two verses on Michael Jackson's 'Invincible', unite here for a decent, yet unremarkable album. The production is inconsistent. At times, like on the intro, it's more than solid hard east coast hip hop, and then straight to the next track it reeks of poor mid cheap sounding '00s production, as do a number of songs. The rappers sound quite similar, so it barely feels like a collaboration production. They are commanding enough on the mic, but don't leave a lasting impression. Nothing to rush back to.
