The Step Kings

Let’s Get it On!

Roadrunner

Ad nauseum imploring us to “come on, come on!” the Step King’s hip-hop-metal neither hips nor hops – nor “metals,” for that matter – anywhere in particular, anywhere interesting…basically, nowhere , the band raging against a machine it can neither see nor sense on Let’s Get it On! On top of that, these white boys even toss around the word “nigga” – sheesh! Let’s get it on? No way, tough guy.
