Review

Philadelphia's own Bahamadia dropped 'Kollage' in 1996, and damn if it wasn't a fresh slice of underground hip-hop that still hits today. Her flow is butter-smooth yet razor-sharp, cutting through the jazzy production with an effortless confidence that puts most MCs to shame. The production lineup is straight fire - DJ Premier, Guru, and Da Beatminerz all lend their talents, creating this perfect foundation of head-nodding beats that let Bahamadia's thoughtful lyrics and distinctive voice take center stage.

Tracks like 'Uknowhowwedu' and 'I Confess' showcase her talent for crafting hooks that stick in your brain without sacrificing substance. What makes 'Kollage' stand out in the crowded 90s hip-hop scene is how Bahamadia never tries to imitate anyone else - she's completely herself, blending Philly's musical heritage with jazz and soul influences to create something that feels both classic and ahead of its time. This album might not have dominated the charts, but it cemented Bahamadia as a serious force in underground hip-hop and influenced countless artists who followed. - Chase
