Although fans of Cypress Hill’s bouncy tales of weed and urban combat won’t be too stoked about Muggs’ first solo disc away from that loco crew, those who appreciate layered beats and smoky ambience will definitely find the groove. Although the likes of Everlast and Amy Trujillo make understated vocal appearances, Muggs is the trip-hop superstar here, showing off a remarkable range of sounds, from classic U.K. psychedelia (“Rain”) to down-and-dirty, hard-boiled scratching (“Gone for Good”). This is a mind-altering buzz of a different kind.
