Ursula Rucker - Ma'at Mama

Review by ben marwood

With song titles like ‘Rant (Hot In Here)’ and ‘I Ain’t (Yo’ Punk Ass Bitch)’, one look at the tracklisting for ‘Ma’at Mama’ would probably suggest that you prepare yourself for some jive-talkin’, man-hatin’ hip-hop. Whilst what awaits you is indeed urban, it is actually fifty-five minutes of socio-political spoken word soul which draws from many musical influences.»
