A-Team released their solid EP 333 in 2011, but I've only now gotten around to checking it out. Its compact, only 9 tracks, but each one feels complete and thus its a more enjoyable listen than most albums rappers, Azeri or other, are putting out. Its a pretty active album, more celebration than self-examination. And a refreshing break from the February drudgery.
English titled 'Don't Fall Down,' is the strongest track in this vein from 333. It catches you in the opening with a stomping beat. The first verse crescendos in vocal and musical intensity, then the mini-helicopter ride whirling us into the chorus. You're rooting for the song at this point, no one likes a letdown, "just deliver the chorus you're promising".
And it does, 'Don't Fall Down' drops the bass; you start jumping up and down, you rock the fist pump. You realize that A-Team's 'Don't Fall Down' never was a wish for themselves, its a warning to their crowd-don't fall down.
