I get a lot of rap music in my inbox. Sometimes I forget that there's other stuff out there, I get so much. I couldn't possibly listen to all of it, as much as I appreciate it, I miss a lotta stuff. That said, seeing Al Cayne's name on the initial email I got about this EP piqued my interest... Cayne represents hip hop and comics culture equally well, so I had to treat it like a contact from a respected and trusted colleague, ya dig? Good thing too, because he introduced me to one of the illest cats ever... this dude Napoleon Da Legend blew me away from day one. He does not play around on the mic. The leaks and videos Cayne and Napoleon were dropping on me took me back to a time when emcees took pride in writing and producers provided jamming tracks with samples that sent me to the encyclopedia and the library to learn my history.
I know I do.
holla!
