'Dying To Be There', the 2007 album from Chip K and friends is an incredibly clever, infectious, bold and progressive record that left genre pigeon holing an uncomfortable job. To try and classify the music is to advise that it meanders around the torturous fringes of hip-hop, pop, dance and rock. Let's just settle on the fact that it is good. Real good. The album is here again. Anything new? No. It's a reissue brought abut by Movation now coming under the ICC/Elevation umbrella. If you don't already have this, purchase with complete confidence. From the tender piano intro of "Do Or Die" to the sprawling self-titled gospel-proclaiming closer, this is the same great record from Chip K and the boys.
