LIL KEKE - CURRENCY
Lil Keke "Currency" Album Review
Another solid album from Keke da Don
Lil Keke is back once again with a new 14 song album. This is the 8th album of his I have and one of the better ones (2 get 4.5 stars, 2 get 3.5 and the other 4 get 4 stars). After making a name for himself in the souther rap scence in the mid to late 90's he kind of fell off to the underground and finally resurfaced around 04 - 05. Of the 14 songs, 2 are screwed & Chopped (1 the regular version is on the album) and these are the 2 I skip, 3 are ok, and the other 9 are good songs a couple being real good, but no classics. Guests are on 6 songs and for the most part are decent. Production is nice on most tracks but no credits are given as to who did them (like with most of his albums). A nice southern rap album to have where he isn't talkin bout rims and gold teeth like most of the BS southern songs that are ont he radio.
#1 - 7.5 (f/ Eightball & Kyleon)
#2 - 9 (f/ Mr Lee & Kyleon -- nice beat)
#3 - 8.5 (relaxing beat)
#4 - 6.5
#5 - 8
#6 - 9 (nice relaxing beat -- a song to the ladies)
#7 - 9 (f/ Chris Ward -- another nice beat)
#8 - 8 (f/ Lil C & Mobb Figgaz)
#9 - 8 (about his pops)
#10 - 6.5 (f/ shorty Mac)
#11 - 8
#12 - 8 (f/ Shorty Mac)
#13 - I SKip
#14 - (screwed up version of #6)

EMPEROR P - GANGSTA LIFE
Emperor P "Gangsta Life" Album Review
I went to high school with this guy
Precious Reed, when will your episode of "VH1 Where Are They Now" be aired? We went to Thomas Jefferson in Federal Way back in the day. The Seattle suburbs have produced only 2 rappers of note: Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Emperor P (with respects to the Blue Scholars). Mix-A-Lot was better.
In an attempt to cash in on the image of No Limit and Cash Money at the height of their popularity, Precious went and made this record, probably with some buddies in a basement studio with big hopes. Instead, he wound up being the guy who I look up as a joke on Amazon at 12:30am, because I happened to come over his album this afternoon in my house. I believe the story goes that a friend of mine worked at Sam Goody in the SeaTac Mall (the only place that would sell the album), and picked it up out of blind curiosity. What resulted was a few laughs and a $15 coaster.
Thank you Precious, for recording this album.
Thank you also to whoever is trying to sell it. Someone with some free time and few extra bucks ought to pick it up and see where it takes them.
Out.
