KRS-One

Performance tip

For Sound of Da Police, aim the repeated questions at one imagined listener so they sound intentional rather than merely recited. That preparation will keep Sound of Da Police from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Sound of Da Police is worth singing if a conversational approach to its questioning lines comes naturally to you. Expect some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
