Without question, Arabian Prince was indeed an innovator. He was a master of the Electro sound and one of the pioneers of the genre. I read an article with Arabian Prince and Egyptian Lover in an issue of Wax Poetics not too long ago about how they came up, crossed paths and helped create an important sound in the world of hip-hop. You should track that down if you have a chance, it's a very good interview. I remember coming across Arabian Prince when I picked up his N.W.A. era solo project on a trip to the U.S. back in 1989. Over the next few years I caught up on his previous work and also noticed that Panic Zone on the N.W.A. and the Posse album was his track. That still is one of the best tracks on any N.W.A. release. Later on, when I got into the Electro music and learned more about it, it became clear that Situation Hot was one of the most important tracks in the Electro history. The remainder of this CD features some older and some newer highlights from his recording career. Some of you may not be as familiar with Arabian Prince so this anthology is a good way to gauge if you want to go out and start looking to buy some of his releases.
