Sketch review: Von Won - Answering the Call

Von Won's album drops today. To go along with that, DaSouth.com has published my critique.

Here's your teaser and link:

I love Caller ID. Hate “Unknown” or “Blocked” numbers.

When my cell or home phone rings and I see those digital disguises I let my voice mail do the dirty work.

If you feel the same and are unfamiliar with Much Luvv Records’ Von Won, then you might be inclined to pass on his new Answering the Call album of gospel rhymes and hooks.

Make an exception.

Read the rest right 'chere.

Vidz: Self-recording "The 1st Von Won"

I stumbled across this vid last week and just got an advance copy of the new Answering the Call album from Von Won.

In this clip you can see/hear the making of his probable launch single - "The 1st Von Won."

I gotta admit the wide-receiver-who-passes-to-himself trick makes me smile - as do the lyrics.

I ain't trying to be the next Lecrae
or the next 'Pac
The next Notorious B.I.G.
or the next Barack
I'm just tryin' to be the first Von Won
All I can be is the first Von Won

I ain't trying to be the next Jigga
or the next Kanye
The next Young Jeezy
the next Lil Wayne
I'm just tryin' to be the first Von Won
all I can be is the first Von Won

Answering the Call drops September 15.
