Lord Finesse - Return Of The Funky Man

Lord Finesse's second album, Return Of The Funky Man, finds the Bronx MC stepping out solo and proving why he's regarded as one of hip-hop's sharpest stylists. Across cuts like the swaggering title track, the playful 'I Like My Girls With A Boom', and the posse workout 'Yes You May' (with AG aka Andre The Giant and Percee P), he balances punchline wit with heavyweight presence. Beats come courtesy of Showbiz, Diamond D, DJ Aladdin and Finesse himself, from the gospel-tinged swing of 'Praise The Lord' to the funk drive of 'Isn't He Something'. With battle raps ('Stop Sweating The Next Man'), party tracks ('Party Over Here') and verbal flexes ('That's How Smooth I Am'), it's classic early 90s East Coast hip-hop.
