For his fourth LP, Statik Selektah comes through with Population Control an album full of nostalgic beats and a collection of young MCs…

After releasing three compilation albums and a slew of collaborative EPs and mixtapes, Statik Selektah has built a solid reputation as a producer that caters specifically to fans of 1990s East Coast hip-hop. Over his nostalgic, sample-heavy beats, the Lawrence, MA native has jam-packed his previous projects with the architects of said sound (DJ Premier, Kool G Rap, Q-Tip), as well as the like-minded purists that have spent their careers carrying on its tradition (M.O.P., Talib Kweli, Saigion, Styles P, etc). So it was a welcoming surprise to find alongside the usual suspects, Population Control also featured a slew of hip-hop’s next generation of MCs.

As expected, many of XXL’s Freshman alum make appearances (Big K.R.I.T., Mac Miller and Pill all deliver stand out verses), but the disc’s most surprising moments come from the more lesser-known acts, who have yet to even make a dent on the hip-hop blogs.

“The High Life” spotlights the shockingly comfortable flow of 15-year-old Ann Arbor, MI rapper, GameBoi. “Half Moon Part” finds underage Sacremento, CA-based rookie Chuuwee, channeling Nas circa 1993 and Grand Rapids, MI born Nitty Scott MC, makes her graceful debut, lyrically “pirouetting” all over “Black Swan.”

Population Control boasts other unexpected turns as well. A handful of the tracks feature radio-friendly hooks, sung by an array of R&B singers (Josh Xantus, Colin Munroe, Jaren Evan)—a noticeable departure from the straight up boom bap he is known for. On “Live and Let Live” Statik highlights the Christian rap stylings of Lecrae and on the bonus track, “My Friends,” the man of the hour even gets in the booth himself.

The biggest problem with the album is Statik’s need to include everyone in the party. A lot of the tracks felt too cluttered with MCs that lacked chemistry together (“Sam Jack” and “Down”) and with 20 tracks, the LP dragged towards the middle before picking up steam at the end.

Luckily for listeners, Statik’s ability to flip a beat never disappoints, as he makes sure to keep heads nodding no matter whose turn it is on the mic. Hopefully, next time Statik will be a little more selective on whom he decides to include in the general population. —Jesse Gissen

As an artist who has built his reputation on consistency, Statik's effort is a fairly solid project that keeps the embers of Hip Hop glowing with passion.

At this point, a Statik Selektah release wouldn’t feel right without the recruitment of two dozen rappers backed by fiery production. This signature approach is tweaked slightly on Population Control, where the Lawrence, MA producer/deejay has primarily reached out to a younger crowd of emcees that he believes will carry Hip Hop into the future. His selected torchbearers are at best reassuring, with thriving upstarts like Big K.R.I.T., STS and Action Bronson highlighting a lyrical prowess that warrant repeat listens. Then, peep “Sam Jack,” where abrasive horns and drums from Statik bring out the best in XV, Jon Connor and Kid Daytona. Equally impressive is “Black Swan,” which shines the light on a few female emcees that have been paying their dues. Shedding any notion of a "pretty girl syndrome," Nitty Scott MC and Rapsody rip the microphone to the point that you’re slightly embarrassed for their male contemporaries.

Acting accordingly, Statik also gathers up a handful of veteran mainstays like Bun B, Talib Kweli and Sean Price as well as his Showoff Records’ comrades Termanology and Reks to round out the revolving door of lyricists. Over an eerie yet alluring beat, Kweli sneakily spits darts (“Nigga’s is sheepish, secretive, so mysterious / Claiming that you’re blood but you’re really on your period”) on “You’re Gone,” while the celebratory anthem “New York, New York” fittingly settles in with instinctive verses from natives Saigon and Styles P. In a collaboration that seems nearly improbable, “Damn Right” turns out to be the album’s standout record. Matching Brother Ali’s stream of consciousness with Joell Ortiz’s gritty cadence, the two deliver a radiant performance on overcoming inner city struggles.

Statik Selektah has never been the one to short his listeners on material; however this decision leaves Population Control open to spotty execution. Teaming up three young individuals that inadequately back up their arrogant rhymes, “The High Life” boringly meanders to less than desirable production from Statik. Mac Miller’s record doesn’t fare much better, with unimaginative rhymes about an overplayed theme falling far short of impressionable. It also doesn’t help that Josh Xantus sounds tonally flat on the hook. Consequently, the album lacks cohesion, making it easier to jump around the tracks rather than listen all the way through.

Statik Selektah may cosign all the rappers present on Population Control, but it’s evident that his approval doesn’t necessarily translate to a pristine collaboration in every instance. Still, as an artist who has built his reputation on consistency, his latest effort is a fairly solid project that likewise keeps the embers of Hip Hop glowing with passion.
