La Coka Nostra - A Brand You Can Trust


(AU magazine, October 2009)

An American hip hop supergroup may have some listeners foaming at the
mouth, but despite the impressive roll call of La Coka Nostra - including
Everlast and Ill Bill - A Brand You Can Trust is more prosaic than punchy.
With a myriad of cultural - although not always entirely contemporary -
references, there are plenty who might be offended by the lyrical content,
including women, Americans, Saddam Hussein, David Koresh and Phil Spector.
Worth it for Snoop's turn on Bang Bang, but not much else.
