"Karma (What Goes Around)" Released: April 2002

The single, "Karma (What Goes Around)", samples elements of Hot Chocolate's "Brother Louie" and was featured on a "World Instruments" segment of John Safran's Music Jamboree. The track "Battlemaster" contains a widely used line from the hip hop film, Beat Street.

Reception

AllMusic's Jody Macgregor rated it at three-and-a-half stars and explained "the group's guitarist Kemstar lays down a rock-solid rock riff. That unusual addition, a live rock guitarist in a hip-hop group, goes a long way towards individualizing the 1200 Techniques sound, adding an odd and sometimes surprisingly funky layer. Another thing that makes them unique is their unabashed Australian-ness."^[2]
