"Water Street is a stellar outing." – Top Ten albums of 2008
4. Sweatshop Union – Water Street
The heat recently brought by the Pacific Northwest extends north of the border with this stellar outing from the Vancouver hip-hop collective. There are something like 62 dudes in SU (OK, seven), and somehow they’re lacking a weak link (a couple emcees even bring that soothing raspiness like Lyrics Born and Boots Riley). The single ‘Oh My’ is my pick for track of the year.
