IRS collects

The Avatar Records recording artists IRS, a rap trio from Toronto, Canada have created an album exploding with tight tracks.
Korry Deez, Black Cat and T.R.A.C.K.S. compose the trio that stretches rap’s boundaries with the creation of Welcome to Planet IRS, an album of 13 tracks that are full of deep songs, combined with a touch of Caribbean flare.
IRS, which is an acronym for Instinctive Reaction to Struggle, broadcast the theme no bling bling, no Cristal, no Esclades, just banging hip-hop.
The album opens up with an interlude titled “Lift Off.”
During the interlude, members spit verses on top of a hardcore beat and converse about what makes them different.
“Strictly For The Heads,” the first single on the CD, is exactly that. In this track an old school Boogie Down Production beat meets the group’s new school studio sound.
On the next track titled “We Don’t Play,” the group demonstrates craftiness in their rapping style, on this upbeat tune.
The next catchy tune titled “Manipulation,” is a club-friendly track. In the song the group talks about an encounter with a mind-blowing female, who left them feeling completely manipulated.
In the song “Major League,” the group blasts on why they are in a league of their own.
“Munyam Jam,” is placed in the middle of the album. This song documents the freestyle styling of the group while they chill in a recording studio. Fluctuating beats and relaxed sounds make this song the most inventive on the album.
The song “T-Dot Anthem,” is a call to emcees especially from Toronto, to represent where they are from and be proud of their hometown. The song is laced with a deep bass under tone and a smooth downbeat.
“T.R.A.C.K.S.’ Lament 1.5,” the next song has smooth beats and vocals, similar to something heard if D’angelo met A Tribe Called Quest. This chilling tune should be played when trying to relax from a hectic day.
In the final song on the album “M.W.O,” the group expresses their truly unique style of rap with funky beats and swift rhyming ability.
IRS uses this album to bring the world to their planet and claim their position on the music scene with vengeance.
This album is musically pleasing, lyrically stimulating and makes a statement that IRS is here to stay.
