In the past year and a half, Flawless and Fo Chief — the rapping and production duo known collectively as On Point — have made a big push in Denver’s hip-hop scene, and their latest effort, D-Town Extravaganza, is a culmination of that hustle. The twosome’s rhymes and production on tracks such as “It’s Up to You,” featuring Moka Only, “R.U.I.,” with Dent, and “Mark of the Beast,” which boasts a cameo from Planetary (of OuterSpace), fire on all cylinders, and the rest of the album’s songs are equally well produced. Just the same, they’re hampered by clumsy cadence and an often amateurish flow. On cuts like “Gettin’ S*** off Our Chest” and “Day of Reckoning,” for instance, it sounds like the lines are being read from a notebook, devoid of any passion. Even so, the production here is hot enough that it’s tempting to overlook these missteps.
