| | Shaken Not Stirred CD (1 Customer Review)
As compilations of '60s cocktail lounge music go, this isn't top value, including only 13 cuts (one of which is an unidentified bonus track). If this style is your bag, it's decent enough, with selections from James Bond & His Sextet, the In Group, Jack (Bongo) Burger, Harry Zimmerman, Bob Florence, and exotica star Arthur Lyman. It's neither the cheesiest nor the most gripping stuff this genre has to offer, focusing more on suave elegance than stirring up a heat. Dig, however, the lounge-friendly versions of "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "If I Had a Hammer" by the In Group, whose ranks included none other than Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, and top sessionaires Tommy Tedesco and Earl Palmer. ~ Richie Unterberger

$9.29 Nowadays, anyone who keeps up with reality tv shows, sports, and music knows that everyone loves an underdog. Think about it, this is the generation that goes against the grain and defies the ordinary just to stand out from others. People will root for the little guy just so they can add significance to the phrase "I told you so".For II Tre, the term "underdog" is an understatement being that he is a self taught, college dropout from the unknown city of Fort Smith, Arkansas. And thus far, no rapper from his region has had major success in the music business. But surprisingly, he actually likes the odds and is ambitiously looking forward to being a pioneer in the hip hop scene of what he calls the "Dusty Souf" region. "I feel like the younger guys need someone to look up to," he says. "I know plenty of rappers with hit records. But they look at the area and think they can't make it. That's who I do this for. It is imperative that I become successful so that I can show others how to do it," he adds.At the age of 15, II Tre discovered that he had the natural ability to rap. And due to the fact that it was not many producers located in his city, a couple of years later, he also learned how to make beats and record himself using a computer, a mic, and various software programs. Thoughout his high school career, he also began doing live performances with other local rappers as well. And after seeing the great responses from the crowds, he finally began to consider music as a career instead of just a hobby.After a year of college, at the age of 19, II Tre became a part of the hip hop group called Souf Land.
