Even if he’s still quite young, Dom Pachino is a veteran in the rap game. With already 3 group and 4 solo albums under his belt, he deserves his greatest hits CD. For the most part the album consists of some of Dom P’s best verses on the Killarmy trilogy. There’s also the complete track of his collabo on Shyheim’s Manchild album. Three more tracks off his first 2 solo and best of all the rare Killarmy track The Cookout. To make this album even better, The Puerto Rican Terrorist blessed us with 2 dope freestyles and one of them is over the classic I Shot Ya Beat. This album is for all the new heads who are not familiar with Dom Pachino’s skills and to the fans who know that a Dom P greatest hits is a sure bet.

CHAMBERMUSIK REVIEW
Killarmy was one the first group to come out of the Wu camp in 1996 with their debut album Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. The six men crew introduced us to a new aggressive militant style. Then in 1998 they dropped their sophomore effort Dirty Weaponry and finally on September 11th 2001 they released Fair, Love and War. All three albums were praised by the fans and the critics, but unfortunately some internal problems within the group combined with Islord, Killa Sin and 9th Prince doing jail time prevented the group from working together. Not wanting to sit back and let his talent go to waste the Puerto Rican Terrorist Dom Pachino decided to take matter into his own hands. In a little more than 2 years he put out three dope solo albums: Terra Iz Him, Unreleased and Domination on his own label Napalm Recordings. With all this material out it’s only natural that Dom P gives us his own best of CD.
The Best Of Dom Pachino is a collection of the P.R. Terrorist best verses on all three Killarmy albums, some of his best collaborations, classic solo tacks and new exclusives freestyles. Following an intro by Team Napalm member NLZ, Dom Pachino spits an ill freestyle over war sounds, gun shots and bomb explosion; it can’t get more rugged than that. The second track is also a freestyle over the classic I Shot Ya beat that NLZ tweaked a little to make it sound even better. Dom P is flowing like crazy on this one giving you a taste of things to come. Afterwards it’s flashback time with the classic Dom P verses of Lady Sings the Blues, Monster and Shoot Out. Then, Shyheim, 9th Prince are featured on Criminal off Tera Iz Him; a tale of the criminal life. Three more classic verses from the P.R. Terrorist follow with Feel It, The Rule and Whatever We Want. Probably one of Dom P’s first featuring is next as he drops a verse along with T.M.F. on Shyheim’s 1 Life 2 Live. Off the rare Manchild album the four MC’s are telling you on this track that you got to lead your own life and don’t miss out on opportunities. The C.E.O. of Napalm Recordings takes us back again with six hot verses off the Killarmy and Bobby Digital albums. The next track is Dom P’s gift to the fans as he gives us for the first time on CD The Cookout song; a true Killarmy banga. He ends this best of album with two tracks off his second solo Unreleased. Hard Copy is probably one of Mathematics’ best beat ever, the hard-hitting drums are simply crazy and Dom P just lets loose on this production. On Who’s the Spanish Kid Dom Pachino comes off very lyrical letting us know who he is. The outro is one last treat as he gives us yet another crazy freestyle.
The Best of Dom Pachino is for everybody not yet familiar with the Puerto Rican Terrorist or for the people that know that a compilation made of Dom P’s best is always good to listen to. Best of CD’s often mean that the artist’s career is coming to an end, but Dom P is far from finish. As the front man of Team Napalm he’s bringing out a new crew of hungry MC’s and producers. Napalm World was their introduction, now prepare for The Arsenal.
