     These lyrics are quite strong. My head was nodding up and down as I surfed the web with Sham's music playing in the background. A true measure of a good CD is if it makes me forget what I am doing and this sure did. I started listening to every word said and every beat behind it all. In fact, after listening to this CD, there was only one song I was not impressed with, Sports Barz, which had a horrible lyrics and sound that seem forced in order to include sports references. However, the rest of the CD totally kicked ass.

     According to Sham, his finesses and style will turn your daddy homosexual, but he knows he isn't the end-all and be-all of rap. In fact, he says himself, he isn't God, and doesn't want the position if it became available. No, Sham has help in making it big. Mr. Dilligence and Sham wrote most of the tracks on the CD and Mr. Dilligence is the producer and mixer that makes it all come together. This CD is tight and the words wouldn't be as phat as they are without the awesome beats behind it. Some of the rhymes and beats move quickly, but the best ones are the slow, dark and gritty sounds that permeate tracks like Chemistry and Renaissance Man. The words come off hypnotic as a soft, bumpy beat plays in the background.

     Sham talks the talk and walks the walk. He is confident in his skills and it shows. This confidence translates into a killer CD that little have heard of as of yet-but not for long. Go to NMEWrecKidz.com and purchase yourself a copy of Sham's killer CD, Low Down Dirty. It never felt so good not to be clean.
