The Devil’s Rejects

Necronomicon/Dynasty Musik
Rating: 3.0 stars

There aren’t many rap groups whose lyrics are laced with images of holy shrines, rivers flowing with honey, the execution of Joan of Arc, Area 51, and various demented murder scenes. Not to be confused with the Rob Zombie film of the same name, this album takes a journey through warped realms filled with battle-rapping demons. Boston deathcore rapper Bomshot teams up with Jus Allah, formerly of the legendary underground heavyweights Jedi Mind Tricks, to bring on phat, head-bobbing beats and fast-flowing lyrics. Wu-Tang Clan’s Gza and Dynasty Muzik CEO Chan help the duo fight their way through Hell to reach other planes of existence on “Vengeance.” Singapore Kane guests on “5 Pillars,” encouraging the Devil’s Rejects to adopt a more laid-back mindset against a less aggressive beat and a musical backdrop that’s not quite so menacing. The religious symbolism here has been hard to find in hip-hop since Jedi Mind Tricks’ 2000 Violent by Design (Superregular). But what makes this homonymous disc even more intriguing is the canyon-sized rift that has opened between the Bomshot and Jus Allah, a rift that means this could well be the one and only Devil’s Rejects album.
