The Heartland Panic: go DJ, go DJ, go DJ!

What’s most noticeable about The Heartland Panic is the music behind the words. DJ Absolute’s production on this album is top-notch. Each track gives you something a little different, from a funky groove on “Clouds In My Head” to a throw back 50s groove on “Think About Me.” There was clearly a vision laid out that lent itself to a fluid collaboration between rappers and producer.


A Def once mentioned that when they started making music together, he and Dirt Dee sounded like the same person. "The Heartland Panic" gives Attn: Def and Dirty distinct voices; in tone, rhyme patterns, and lyrics.

With the classic instrumentation you get the feeling that "The Heartland Panic" should have a dance accompanying it by the same name, much like "The Hustle", "The Jerk", or "The Monster Mash." Everybody do "The Hearthland Panic!" You can’t help but move, or at least strut down the street, when you hear this album.

This is the best way to explain what I felt the first time I listened to this album:
