Bay Area MC Charizma and his crate-diggin' pal Peanut Butter Wolf entered the game in rap's blissful Golden Age. Due to label drama and Charizma's tragic 1993 passing, most of their work was vaulted - until now. Big Shots unveils classic one-two sonic jabs from a duo whose affinity for hip-hop should make Common proud. The tracks are unearthed in time-capsule fashion (nothing much altered) with 15 first-class jams serving as an ideal early-'90s hip-hop snapshot. Most of the innocent-sounding tunes like Devotion and Fair Weathered Friend boast Wolf's static-stamped production and Charizma's lighthearted vocab. Sure, joints like the simplistic love letter Talk About a Girl and it's familiar drum-machine thumps and piano loops might not make a peep if they were freshly recorded songs, but as reminiscing material goes, Big Shots is a golden ticket to when it was all so simple. Craig Smith - From URB Magazine. Here's a Smirk (Disc 01), Methods, Jack the Mack, Talk About a Girl, Red Light Green Light, Tell You Something, Gatha Round, Devotion Apple Juice Break (Disc 02), My World Pe Premier, Ice Cream Truck, Charisma What, Fair Weathered Friend, Soon to Be Large, Pacing the Floor, Pacin' the Floor
