Paris is back with Acid Reflex on his own Guerilla Funk imprint. As usual, his hardcore politics and slinky West Coast funk isn't for everyone, but it's not for lack of creativity or skill. Paris is a beacon of true independence, able to rock his fanbase on his own terms and without compromising his beliefs. Whether this particular brand of hip-hop speaks to you has much to do with aesthetics - while I'm not a fan of his style, I respect his game.
