Quite to what the gravel pit of the title refers is anybody's guess. Someone here has suggested that it means bed, some reckon it's a night club or prehistoric social gathering, others say it's slang for a woman's area. I prefer to think of it as a municipal storage area for tiny chippings of stone, to be scattered on icy road surfaces.
Whether RZA, Method Man, Inspectah Deck et al are overly interested in the saftey of highway users is open for debate. But what can be of no doubt is that 'Gravel Pit' is one of the finest singles released this year.
This offering from the New York rap outfit's forthcoming 'The W' album is a glorious, sexy, slice of lazy, groovesome hip hop, rap and the gorgeously drowsy R&B tones of one Tekitha.
If this irresistible chunk of danceworthy stuff doesn't fill floors and top charts there is no justice ladies and gentlemen!
