The fearlessness in the rhymes of Houston hip-hop fivesome Young Problemz on their 2009 debut can be summed up by opening line of swaggering booty track "Knock Ha Dyne," as they blithely claim they'll "knock your gal down like the World Trade Center." They also show a reverence to hip-hop's past, effortlessly throwing in shout-outs to Beastie Boys, Doug E. Fresh, and others, slickly contrasting the nostalgia with more of-the-moment references like Twitter and cyberspeak. Young Problemz is something of a Houston supergroup, gathering five members from prominent local crews, and the talent does pour out as they rep their hometown with zeal. The unabashed, raw lyrics, traded from MC to MC with man-on-the-flying-trapeze ease, keep the game exciting on DA PROBLEM (HOW'S MY RAPPING?). The rhymes are always hard-as-nails, and often downright hilarious on a solid opening salvo from the Southern gents.

Something of a Houston rap all-star team, Young Problemz creates starkly dank hip-hop profiles imbedded deep within its hometown's signature bass-heavy, slow-brewed, syrup-drenched style. Starstruck, J-Yung, Chyco, JM, and Just-O, standouts in various local crews, combined their talents in 2007 to build a musical monster. Despite the many chefs and their requisite egos, YP's MCs swiftly discovered a knack for trading their rhymes off one another, their flows smoothly merging into one.
