Kid Koala and Dynomite D have chopped up their found hard rock licks so tediously on <em>100%<\/em> that it\u2019s a genuinely consumable post-modern experience. Dynomite D has collaborated with the Beastie Boys, and it seems like the Slew has channeled the boys\u2019 first record, along with many other hip-hop and rock combinations like Public Enemy with Anthrax, or Run-DMC with Aerosmith. (This is not rap-rock. I repeat, this is not a call to arms for rap-rock. Let\u2019s never bring up that genre again.) The record is as tight as a band itself, and though the drums and hard-hitting guitars play on the same beat, Koala and D scratch them away and back, right in step. Tracks like \u201cShackled Soul\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s All Over\u201d would unite a skater\/hip-hop\/stoner house party quickly enough.
