King of the Beats is the first set to anthologize both Mantronix and Kurtis Mantronik's productions for Sleeping Bag (and its Fresh subsidiary). It's an excellent summary, compiling all of Mantronik's major works with MC Tee, including "Fresh Is the Word," "Needle to the Groove," and "Bassline," as well as alternate 12" mixes. The second disc features a number of Mantronik productions that should be considered indispensable by all fans of mid-'80s hip-hop: Tricky Tee's "Johnny the Fox," Just Ice's "Cold Gettin' Dumb," T La Rock's "Breaking Bells."

Still, King of the Beats is the most thoughtful Mantronix/Mantronik package yet, showcasing the output of a master producer who merged hard-hitting beats with cunning samples. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
