Over the last 15 years Eddie’s main claim to
fame has been his unsurpassable ability to come up with better rhymes
than most. Dee has established a formidable line up for his latest release
“Los Doce Dicipulos” which features twelve of the biggest
names in the Puerto Rican world of reggaeton.
The album starts with a traditional "bomba"
medley “Quitate tu Pa Ponerme Yo” is the only track were
all the artist participate. It’s also one of the best in the album.
The song takes shape as all the MC’s take their turn to shine
at the mike in what it may well turn out to be one of the best collaborations
to make something new out of the old by blending the bomba with the
reggaeton. Julio Voltio offers the track “Atrevida Bandolrera”
which is among best thing he’s recorded, built around a fast paced
rhyme with a hilarious chorus to boost, the track has to be heard to
be believed. The next memorable moment is Wiso’s “Medley
2004”, which features an old school beat that’s a throwback
to the days of Run DMC with some very peculiar lyrics about a lazy day
spent at the beach. Which brings us to the main attraction, Eddie Dee
whose songs run the gamut from an all out sexy, to serious social commentary.
With tracks such as the dance beat oriented “Wao!” or the
streetwise “Censurame” Eddie Dee shows that his still on
top of his game.
Overall, “12 Dicipulos” plays like
a long lost but not forgotten greatest hits. With tracks that seem old
and fresh there is very little to fault in this treasure trove of talent
and style.
