One of shows I get to run sound for every once
in a while is a Hip-hop improv night, with a live back-up
band. It’s very entertaining! When I started working those
shows I couldn’t handle the style of music; however, over
time I warmed up to it and I learned to appreciate it a bit
more. Listening to Young Shorty’s self-titled album was an
interesting change to the normal bunch of CD’s I get to listen
to. I honestly had a difficult time listening to the album
all of the way through. The language isn’t the best in the
world, by any means. There is a notice on the cover, “Parental
Advisory Explicit Content.” That should read “LOTS OF BAD
LANGUAGE!”
I don’t know how old Young Shorty is, but he is a talented
kid, assuming he writes his own words. The album was well
recorded, filled with some very well-done tracks and beats.
If Shorty can establish an audience that can tolerate the
amount of bad language, he will see some success. But, I
have seen a lot of independent hip-hop/rap artists get up
there, very close to getting something big and then throw
it all away with ego and language. This album has a nice
flow, good variety of beats, and should keep people in to
it from start to finish.
Favorite Track: 2, “Dayz Roll By”
