12.It was mastered by Barry Corliss at Master Works in Seattle, Washington.Album design by Leroy Smits.Executive produced by Aja West and Cheeba.Sometimes raw, sometimes smooth, it is obvious the brothers' sound is influenced by such 70's fusion giants as Weather Report, Passport, and Herbie Hancock.In 2003, Cheeba, bandleader of The Cheebacabra, released his debut album of electronic funk, "Metamorphosis", to critical acclaim.Aja West and Cheeba combine forces to deliver fourteen tracks of feline inspired jams.Rock solid beat keeper Rich Lambert (Hydrovibe, Ima Robot) holds down the drum kit busting breaks that are bound to be sampled by future beat miners.This page was last modified on 25 April 2008, at 18:10.Aja West first emerged onto the music scene in 1998 with his debut record White Moses.This record is quite rare and was mainly sold by Aja himself.The Beastie Boys and Eminem.Aja's albums are recorded in three Mackrosoft Studios around the country: The Sauna Room in Eagle Rock, California, The Mochi Factory in Los Angeles, California, and The Trophy Room in Mercer Island, Washington.Straight Outta ROMpton (2004)

4.All songs written by Aja West.Delivering electro love songs (Mackrosoft) and flowing over a myriad of beats seem to come naturally to our young hero.Aja West macks like Princess Superstar's long lost little brother.Each of the remaining songs on the album similarly sound like a different persona, yet each one somehow manages to recognizably sound like Aja West.In one sense, his adoption of all those different vocal mannerisms is comical, and it is meant to be so.Like early Beastie Boys, his delivery is so punctuated by exaggeration and occasionally injected with ridiculousness that even if he were to rap about a serious subject, it would probably end up sounding at least half like a joke.Beastie Boys, takes its vocal cues from artists (Kid Rock, Korn, Limp Bizkit) who are best not copied."Age Ain't Ish" are endlessly intriguing listens.Aja West's reach still dramatically exceeds his grasp.But once he learns what to reach for, look out.With Trauma he has already crafted, at the very least, a sensational party record.All songs written by Aja West.Reviews
