Effect is one-half of Lowell rap outfit Los Wunder Twins Del Rap. Dropping great rhymes that are equal parts urban slang and hipster pop culture disses, Los Wunder Twins are as talented in concocting their sonic playground as they are in writing the lyrics that populate it.

Effect treads similar ground on his new solo album, Fine Tuned Tantrum, due to hit stores July 1. A full CD review by yours truly is due right here sometime soon, but in the meantime, pay a visit to Effect’s CD release party this Saturday night, June 7, at the Old Court in Lowell. The party starts at 9 p.m., and tix are $5. Skittish-Voluptuous and the Mores are also on the bill.
