A fast-rising Paris DJ/producer, Low Cut spent the summer of 2011 in New York City, recording this impressive collection with a wide variety of underground emcees: well-established vets and promising new jacks alike. Clearly influenced by the sound of early-\'90s NYC, he comes armed with appropriately punchy kicks and slinky, loop-driven tracks, culminating in a project that would sound right at home alongside vintage-era Wu-Tang, Boot Camp, D.I.T.C., et al. Blaq Poet and Nutso deliver the goods on \"Let Em Know,\" Motown reps Guilty Simpson and Journalist 103 break it down over the dusty guitar flips of \"Detroit Make the World Go Round,\" and Smiley the Ghetto Child makes a welcome return on \"Down.\" Other bangers include the moody, piano-laden \"Skeleton Key\" featuring Shaz Illyork and the Killarmy-esque \"Requiem in Blood\" with Random Luck and Banish.

Summer 2011, Dj Low Cut, a native of Paris, took off for New York where he spent two months recording his album. Staying in NYC, he felt this New-York minute thing where: “in a blink of the eye, all your life can change (...) at any minute it could be all over or you can be at the top, like I’ve been to a New York Minute” said Mysonne during the intro of the album (extract from the Documentary “New York Minute” by Gasface). This album pays homage to the Big Apple and the hip-hop music from the 90’s, but not only and you can also hear MCs from everywhere in the USA. Video: "Worldwide Roughness" feat.
