 (1 Customer Review)
Contains fifteen untitled hidden tracks following "Re-Akshon Remix".
As his debut kicks off, Killer Mike boasts "I'm a new breed of species/accursed to lips that speak my name/I'm different, twisted/my mind is not the same," a claim backed up by the subsequent tracks on MONSTER, which make it clear how Mike caught the eye of Outkast. Killer Mike made a high-profile debut with his blistering turn on Outkast's 2002 crossover hit "The Whole World," easily the most memorable guest spot of the year. It was hard not to be enraptured by his forceful, distinctive flow and insistent, slightly off-the-beat rapping style as he not only held his own, but almost stole the show from rap's most prominent innovators at the time.
On MONSTER, Killer Mike's distinctively twisted mind goes off in millions of directions. Yes, there's the usual brash, arrogant assertions of the title track and the sweaty ode to the lust on "A.D.I.D.A.S.," but they boast unusually self-aware and thoughtful lyrics that could hold their own with the likes of Nas. MONSTER's high point may be "Scared Straight," an inmate's story as unflinching as the legendary documentary with which it shares its name. While Mike's from the Dirty South, he's not a typical representative of that sound. In fact, he's not typical in anything, which is what makes MONSTER so appealing.
After appearances with OutKast and Slimm Calhoun, Killer Mike made his debut with a tight record boasting a few chart-worthy singles as well as his twisted take on Southern bounce. He keeps his friends close to him, recording at OutKast's Stankonia studios, hiring Dré for a few productions, and inviting Big Boi to rap over his irresistible hit single, "A.D.I.D.A.S." Calhoun also stops by for a sarcastic "Home of the Brave," but elsewhere Killer Mike comes across not as an urban player or a Southern baller, but as every parent's worst nightmare, a Dirty South freak show gone horribly wrong. The title track is Southern rap gone horrorcore, while "Creep Show" features a suitable guest, D-12's Bizarre. Andre 3000's productions on "U Know I Love U" and "Akshon (Yeah!)" are perfect matches for Killer Mike's unhinged delivery. A few weak tracks bring it down somewhat, but Monster has several tracks that rise up to the level of an OutKast LP. [A Japanese version included bonus tracks.] ~ John Bush

After his aborted, internet-leaked 2008 album, 12 PLAY: 4TH QUARTER, R. Kelly busied himself with guest spots for Beyonce, T-Pain, and Kanye West, even offering a free download on iTunes, "I Believe," inspired by the election of president Barack Obama. While such moves insured that Kelly would never stray far from the R&B throne he's occupied for more than a decade, his 2009 reboot of 12 PLAY, UNTITLED, should provide more than enough reason for fans to keep coming back for more. From Auto Tune-laden crowd pleasers like "Outta ...

If there was one man who could speak for the true hustlers of the world, he would have to have enough wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the game of life to reach players on every level. He’d be a self-made individual who turned nothing into something several times over. That such person is the internationally known BankRoll Jonez. Considered the modern day Curtis Mayfield of the streets, powerful music displaying the horror while capturing the beauty of the street life from all aspects.Putting down raps just as hard as his poetic pimp hand, BankRoll has self-distributed eight (yes, eight) independent albums from Maine to Spain. And he continues to lay down hard-learned life lessons of paper chasing with the release of his game-tight ninth and biggest effort to date Skroll Muzik. Fueled by fierce Pimp C-assisted lead single “Pedigree,” he lets you know his direct bloodline of true-to-life go-getters. Already he has the Third Coast underground jumping to his slick flows and gritty, bubbling production. And that’s just the first chapter. With an album lineup featuring Pimpin Ken, Bishop Don Magic Juan, Too $hort, Buffie The Body and famed Rap-A-Lot-affiliated beatsmith Corey Moe, this is some certified street knowledge that you bank on. “I preach the gospel of economic empowerment. I’m giving guidance and rules that people can abide by,” BankRoll sermonizes. “We have a responsibility to reach out to youngsters in the game and show them how to work smarter, not harder, and you’ll be blessed for that.” Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bankroll’s mother moved the family from Charlotte to Memphis to Chicago- all by the age of 13. Throughout his high school years, the intoxicating fast track of the Windy City’s sinister south side sucked him in like a black hole as he got a taste of fast money. Luckily leaving the streets unscathed, he headed down south to Grambling State University in Louisiana after high school. With hustling still in his heart, Mr. Jones wanted to get paid in this new college environment. “I was looking for something that I can sell like drugs that was legal,” Bankroll remembers. “I wanted to be able to stand on the corner and sell my product and not be indicted.” He had already maximized his potential for getting money back at home. So he was able to incorporate his experiences into art like a present day Donald Goines or Iceberg Slim. He started rap group Ghetto Family with his cousin and brother. Together, they sold more than 10,000 copies of their joint project Money Hungry to the student body. He hit them again in 1999 with Porno Starz Soundtrack and every year following, BankRoll would drop CDs one after another. He left school shortly after the his first indie release and hit the road to push his product from state to state. He hopped over to California back to Memphis and then to Milwaukee. “This is how I eat,” he breaks down the game. “I spend .75 a copy for CDs, sell them for $10 a piece, and pocket $9.25. ...
