That is the posthumous 4th & ultimate solo LP from Chisholm, Minnesota emcee Saint Canine. Arising as a member of the trio P.T.B. with D-Loc & Johnny Richter, all 3 of whom would later kind the Kottonmouth Kings with Daddy X in 1996 & departed 3 years later. He nonetheless remained on Suburban Noize Information & made his solo debut with Ghetto Information that celebrated it’s 20 12 months anniversary in February. This is able to be adopted up with U.S.A. (Unconformable Social Amputees) & Bozo, the latter being in tandem with Drive 5 Information. In commemoration of what would’ve been the O.G. King’s forty ninth birthday, the Funky Soul will at all times dwell on.
The title monitor that includes Chucky Chuck, The DRP & Obnoxious begins with all 4 of them dropping hardcore bars over a cool instrumental whereas “Ms. Demeanor” produced by Fiasco Andretti goes full-blown g-funk with Saint speaking a couple of chick that he considers freak of the 12 months. “Love Affair” works in an acoustic sound because of The DRP making it clear that there ain’t no kindness, however then we get handled to a remix of the spotlight “1 Extra” off KMK’s 14th & so far ultimate group album Kingdom Come.
“Rock & Roll Gangsta” resurrects some classics vibes altogether speaking about being Heaven despatched on a mission main into “Entice Jaw” that includes Danny Diablo & Son of Saint brings the trio collectively over a psychedelic g-funk beat making enjoyable of everybody eager to rap. “Rydaz” will get the entire Drive 5 roster collectively a rap rock label posse lower & after one other Kingdom Comestandout “Loyalty is Royalty” making it’s approach onto the monitor itemizing, the music “Backlash” by U.S.@. maintains a rap rock sound bringing ruckus & “I Know” ends with one other stripped-back acoustic joint.
