Front End Lifter

Front End Lifter is an album by the Yohimbe Brothers, featuring guitarist Vernon Reid and turntablist DJ Logic.

[1][2][3] In a review for AllMusic, Jason Birchmeier wrote: "Though you get the sense that Front End Lifter is simply a good-time side project... the resulting album is so staggering you really wish the duo would get together more often... the guitarist and turntablist showcase remarkable creativity, offering much more than the expected... the two compose what very well could be thought of as sound collages or free jazz-style illbience.

"[5] Writing for Dusted Magazine, Mason Jones remarked: "This sort of genetic experimentation doesn't always work, of course, but when it does the relative newness can be refreshing; such is the case here.

Instead of awkwardly marrying the worst of hip-hop and metal, as seems to be the trendy thing nowadays, these two take much of the best from numerous genres, and blend them into songs which are, for the most part, wholly successful...

"[7] A writer for Billboard stated: "Reid and Logic have crafted/produced an inspired, multi-faceted album that, at times, is both surreal and comical.
