 Notes  
     Hitting stores in mid-1997, "Soundbombing" arrived at a crucial
     juncture for rap music, just as the deaths of 2Pac and Notorious
     B.I.G. forced hip-hop to re-examine its priorities, and the
     commercial dominance of Bad Boy necessitated a smart, socially
     conscious alternative to P. Diddy's blatantly commercial brand of
     karaoke hip-pop.
     An DJ Evil Dee-mixed collection of early Rawkus singles, many of
     them originally available only on vinyl (in keeping with the
     company's hip-hop purism), "Soundbombing" announces Rawkus as the
     anti-Bad Boy, taking its cues from hip-hop iconoclasts like
     Ultramagnetic MCs and Brand Nubian rather than the commercial kings
     of the day. The influence of Kool Keith is felt most heavily early
     on, with artists like Company Flow and the Indelible MCs paying
     tribute to Keith's unique brand of bizarre, stream of consciousness
     hip-hop before Keith himself pops up on "So Intelligent" alongside
     kindred spirit Sir Menelik.
     The second half of the disc is dominated by the soon to be famous
     trio of Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek) and Mos Def,
     who would soon team up with Kweli to form Black Star. Early Def solo
     tracks like "If You Can Huhh" and "Universal Magnetic" find the
     future superstar rocking over uncharacteristically spare, Jay
     Dee-inspired grooves, while "Fortified Live" and "Freestyle" show
     off Def and Kweli's burgeoning chemistry.
     But "Soundbombing" doesn't really hit its peak until its final
     track, "2000 Seasons", a somber, melancholy, and unforgettable
     Reflection Eternal song that offers an early glimpse of the quiet,
     politically minded b-boy revolution Black Star, Reflection Eternal,
     Mos Def, and Rawkus would go on to lead over the course of the next
     few years.
