Title: A True Hippie-Hop Debut
Review: It may have taken the better part of a decade, but GFE has finally produced a killer studio album. Far superior to their earlier, home studio releases, "Bigger Than it Really Is ..." shows the Asheville-based funk-and-rhyme collective at their very best. Part socio-political epistle, part mountain rapper's proclamation, this album takes a giant toke from a fat blunt of genre-spanning funk spiked with the angsty-dust of urban hippie-hop. Tracks like "Asheville Smoke" and "A Thought" show the group's talents at combining live music elements with their deft wordplay and ganja-driven sound. In fact, the smoky cut "Everybody Get High" was even rolled from the hands of funk master George Clinton himself.
