Law & Disorder is an east coast superduo consisting of Brooklyn, New York emcee/producer D-Dot alongside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by way of Buffalo emcee & lawyer Tracey Lee. They’ve already crossed paths a few times already with D-Dot producing some tracks off Tracey’s slept-on solo debut Many Facez under Universal Music Group almost 3 decades ago, so hearing that they were joining forces for a full-length debut of their own at the beginning of the year peaked my curiosity. After the “Court Day” intro, the opener “Be Warned” begins issuing a cautionary statement over a boom bap instrumental about them still being beasts…

Royal Terms is an east coast superduo consisting of Queens, New York emcee Royal Flush alongside Lawrence, Massachusetts emcee/producer Termanology. One of whom became the de facto leader of the ST. da Squad collective & the other’s debut Ghetto Millionaire became amongst the most underrated albums of the 90s.
