Not merely your average remainder-bin fare as far as forgotten rap albums go, the Jaz's sole, six-song EP is something of a neglected minor classic from one of hip-hop's most fecund eras, anchored as it is by production from now-legendary beat diggers DJ Mark the 45 King, Large Professor, and Prince Paul. It would be a particular shame if the industry's faulty long-term memory was responsible for writing off a number of these tracks: the sweaty "Sign of the Crimes," as sizzling as asphalt on a July day in the city, with some marvelous rapid-fire rhyming; "Hypocritters," which characteristically came loping out of Large Professor's basement with a self-possessed limp; and the chill "It's Your Nature," with the Professor deep in after-midnight mode. These obscure A-league productions, though, aren't the only reasons to chase down Ya Don't Stop. The Jaz is more than up to the task on the microphone, matching the grooves with a commanding, punchy flow. The only real hiccup is the lone self-produced song, "A Groove," an attempt to smooth things out on the R&B-flavored tip, but it is cheese easily ignored. ~ Stanton Swihart, All Music Guide
