With a Canadian swagger the Intelligentlemen emerge from local significance to national awareness, move-making with a signature Saskatoon sound. The new graphic vinyl release from Saskatoon’s Intelligentlemen clique is the paragon of bro rap: cold chilling underground heads rapping about rap and doing it well, splayed over butter-roasted loopdie doo instros. With the obligatory underground chip on their collective shoulder, The Intelligentlemen rail against the mainstream customs and shine heavy on chuggalug jams like Wasted Years. The majority of the album flaunts the finger-pointing esthetic of so many judiciary toned underground releases but when it’s all said and done, Face Value makes my wife dance.
