Boomerang Week: The LaFace Cartel - Reversal Of A Dog (1992)


The LaFace Cartel, made up of recently-unleashed LaFace records labelmates Damian Dame and Highland Place Mobsters, a yet-to-hit-the-mainstream TLC and the star-in-waiting and still criminally underrated Toni Braxton.
It was never released as a single; it serves more as a showcase for the label's prodigious talent roster. As a fan of the label I would suggest the albums of the talents included as must-haves if you are a 90's R&B fan.
And while you would expect this many people on one song to be either a horrible mess of  mismatches or a sickly We Are The World lighters-in-the-air anthem, it more than holds it's own against the rest of the Boomerang track listing.
Bow-wow-wow-yippee-yo-yipeee-yay, mofos.
