Editorial Reviews :
It's not surprising that London, England's Ms. Dynamite--Niomi McLean-Daley to her mum--snagged 2002's prestigious Mercury Prize, and a couple of Brits Awards, too. U.K. artists have yet to distinguish themselves as a force in hip-hop, so when a disc the caliber of A Little Deeper emerges, especially from a conscious female emcee with a voice as smooth as glass and a cocksure swagger that's palpable, it's noticed. Ms Dynamite's love of roots reggae is in evidence throughout--especially in the island grooves of 'Seed Will Grow,' featuring Kymani Marley --but detours into cinematic sounds and funk also power the proceedings. 'It Takes More,' presented here as the 'Bloodshy Main Mix,' juxtaposes faux Left Bank accordions against a hip-swiveling percussion, resulting in an incredibly catchy number that could be subtitled 'Amelie of Brooklyn.' 'Dy-Na-Mi-Tee,' its staccato groove draped over Ms. Dynamite's silken come-hither rap, is a deserved hit. Singing and rhyming in about equal measure, Ms. Dynamite manages to at once condemn (loser lovers in 'Put Him Out;' poverty and oppression in 'Brother') and celebrate (togetherness in 'Seed Will Grow' and 'All I Ever'). Comparisons to Ashanti and Lauryn Hill point to Ms. Dynamite's place in the urban cosmos, but the crisp, elegant stylings on A Little Deeper are her own. --Kim Hughes
Buyer Reviews :
At first I thought Ms. Dynamite's album was going to be [garbage], because it received TONS of hype, saying that she's gonna take over the U.S. with 'A Little Deeper'...but know...I'M A BELIEVER! This album is like no other. She combines R&B, Hip Hop, Garage, Reggae & A little bit of Jazz to form THE BEST DEBUT OF THE YEAR. EVERY song on this album is amazing. The only song that I am not really in love with is 'Anyway you want it' because both Dynamite & Keon could have tore that song up with their strong vocals. But even that song doesn't dissappoint.
I'm tellin ya'll that if you sleep this AMAZING album, you will have missed some of the best Hip Hop & R&B recorded ever!
