Sketch review: Kaboose / Excuse Me

Rapzilla.com just published my review of Kaboose's "Excuse Me" album that releases today.

Here's the teaser and link. Let me know if you "love it" like 'Boose does his own album in another hilarious promo vid from the Syntax Creative crew seen below.

Kaboose seems like a guy that loves hip hop. Not in a “This-bumps-nice-in-my-ride” or “Rap-will-get-me-rich” way. No, for this Minnesota-bred mic-man it’s more of a “What-would-I-have-ever-done-WITHOUT-this?!?” mindset.

Not that it would elevate to idol worship that supplants the Creator, but I can’t help but imagine how fondly ‘Boose seems to have taken to the art form. Like a member of the deaf community discovering American Sign Language in his late teens, the mohawked mic-ripper comes off evangelistically passionate about his new mouthpiece. And on an album like Excuse Me, he flexes his maximum hip hop potential to convey thoughts on just about every facet of his life.

Vidz: Urban D's "Peter"

Nice story video with footage from "The Passion of the Christ." There also appears to be scenes I don't recognize from that film. If you know the title hit me up.

K-Tweezy's promoting his "Yearbook: Missing Pages" re-release (dropping Tuesday, Oct 14) with a mashup video test.

Like the cover art and new single, dude is "Stuck in the 80's," so grab your ghetto blaster, nasty neon, and rock-it like your favorite b-boy or character from a John Hughes flick.

Peep the special site for more details.

BTW, Lecrae's (rebel) continues to climb the charts and sell well. Nearly 10,000 units in the first week according to Rapzilla.

Sketch article: Whuteva / Avoiding the Failures of "The Pastor Ma$e Project"

The good folks over at Illspot.net just published my interview with former G-Unit member Whuteva about his upcoming gospel rap album and the steps he's taking to avoid being pegged as the next Pastor Ma$e.

Here's your teaser and link:

See if this sounds familiar…

A young New Yorker teams with a childhood friend to become a rap star. With links and support from a multi-platinum producer, he seemingly hits the “Big Time” with nationwide tours and television appearances. Then, at what some would define as the height of his celebrity, he finds God and steps away from the game.

Our Yankee friend withdraws for a season to develop spiritually, often blaming his former hip hop lifestyle as a tool of the Enemy.

Later, the MC returns to the mic with a goal to infiltrate the mainstream market with a clearer head and cleaner tongue. Although not taking an evangelistic approach to his lyrics, when asked, he points to the God-man of Jesus as the reason for the change.

Is Whuteva the new Murda Ma$e? Can Desmond Douglas avoid some of the pitfalls that have seemingly haunted Mason Betha’s post-salvation public image?
