Slanguage is the third collaborative studio album by Awol One and Daddy Kev. It was released on Mush Records on March 18, 2003. It features contributions from D-Styles.
Critical reception
Rob Theakston of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "it's probably the closest fusion of free improv jazz and hip-hop that's ever been committed to disc."[2] He called it "a record that requires intense concentration and immediate attention in order for everything to make sense."[2] Dave Heaton of PopMatters said, "Slanguage finds Awol One and Daddy Kev taking a schizophrenic approach to MCing and DJing, switching everything up constantly, while creating a continuous mood that makes the album feel more like one piece of music than a collection of songs."[7]
