You Can’t Stop The Bum Rush by Len

You Can't Stop the Bum Rush, the third album from Toronto's Len, landed on Work and Sony on May 25, 1999, and it's a sticky, sun-baked scrapbook of a record. Siblings Marc and Sharon Costanzo sit at the center of a floating crew of players, and they fill the album with breakbeats, fuzzy guitars, loose rhymes and bubblegum hooks, with Biz Markie, Kurtis Blow and Poison's C.C. DeVille dropping by.

"Steal My Sunshine", the brother-and-sister back-and-forth that drifts along on a lazy disco loop, is the summer song everybody remembers, with "Feelin' Alright" and "Cryptik Souls Crew" following it out as singles. Critics mostly liked it, it reached No. 46 on the Billboard 200 and No. 32 in Canada, and it went gold in both countries. That's Canadian rapper Buck 65 on the cover.
