Short Takes
Daara J
Boomerang (Wrasse: UK)

The passage between Senegal and France is now traveled by talented hip-hoppers. The trio of MCs in Daara J could be Dakar's answer to Black Star; their European breakthrough, Boomerang, is sunnily neosoulful, topical in tone and loaded with compelling vocal flow (in Wolof and French) that its beatmeisters aren't always equipped to handle. The disc is an admirable intro, but bigger things await. --Kelvin Leander Williams 11/11/04
