(63 Customer Reviews)
Houston rapper Trae gained a fair bit of street credibility after a long string of independent releases, and that credibility is redeemed on the artist's first full-length for Rap-a-Lot, RESTLESS. Packed with tight production and raw, head-nodding beats, Trae represents for the Houston scene with his nimble yet rough-and-rugged delivery. Trae delivers his share of familiar gangsta narratives, but can be surprisingly introspective on tracks like "The Truth" and "Song Cry." Guest appearances by Dirty South stars Paul Wall, Bun B., Three 6 Mafia, and Z-Ro add sparkle to this solid and very promising release.The Wire (p.64) - "Trae's RESTLESS paints a grittier picture of hood reality....It's a surprisingly touching experience, limned with grief and loss."

Restless album
$15.05 This sort of variety marks LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, a wonderfully dynamic record that finds the under-the-radar rapper continuing to do what he does best, in both viciously dark and easy-going manners. On "Platinum," Z-Ro raps about the softer and harder sides of the business over a lush backing track, while on "I'm a Soldier" he reverts to edgy posturing with sufficient force. Although Z-Ro churns out records, he puts his heart into each one, and LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD stands as prime example of his skill.
Incredibly prolific Houston rapper Z-Ro opens his 2005 release, LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, by paying homage to one of hip-hop's all-time classics, Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid in Full," musing over the familiar bassline (from ...

| | Pimp C Pimpalation: 2 CD CDs (2006)
Restless songs
$16.49 PIMPALATION is as glitzy and glamorous as the lifestyles of the crunk and famous can get, with sung choruses and lusher production than has been heard out of the Swishahouse contingent since its early days. In fact, the standout tracks lean as much toward the '90s West Coast G-funk of Nate Dogg and Warren G as they do Pimp's woozy style. Tracks such as "Free" (cribbing a chorus from Tom Petty's hit "Free Fallin'") and the Mike Jones collaboration, "Pourin' Up," demonstrate that even jailtime hasn't taken away Pimp C's spirit or his ability to turn a clever verse.
As the incarcerated half of criminally ...

Restless music CDs
$7.85 It's easy to lose track of EPs in the world of hip-hop: the sheer number of studio releases, not to mention mixtapes, remix albums, and compilations, creates something of a market overload. But overlooking this 1994 Bone Thugs-N-Harmony EP would be ...
| | Dramatics Dramatic Jackpot CD (1975)
Restless songs
$5.29 A satisfying Dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of "Me and Mrs. Jones," which had remained a staple of their live shows. Astrology was riding high in the mid-'70s, and "(I'm Going By) The Stars in Your Eyes" provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo-poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. A good balance ...

| | Elton Dean Unbelievable Truth CD (2007)
Restless music CDs
$13.85 Paris is the city that foaming-at-the-mouth neocons love to hate (even though many of them have never even been there), but for jazz enthusiasts, it is the culturally rich, historically important city that attracted everyone from Django Reinhardt to Barney Wilen to American expatriates such as Bud Powell and Steve Lacy. And it's a place that, in the 21st century, continues to attract many jazz-minded visitors from other parts of Europe. On October 18, 2005, England's Elton Dean and Belgium's the Wrong Object got together in Paris for the live appearance at Glaz'Art that is heard on The Unbelievable Truth. Sadly, Dean did not have long to live when this 68-minute CD was recorded; he died at the age of 60 only four months later in February 2006. And if Unbelievable Truth is any indication, Paris' association with the Wrong Object had major possibilities. Although Dean and the Belgian unit had never played together before the Glaz'Art gig, they had discussed the songs that would be performed, and Dean (who is heard on saxello and alto sax) enjoys a strong rapport with Wrong Object members Jean-Paul Estiévenart (trumpet), Fred Delplancq (tenor sax), Michel Delville (guitar), Damien Polard (bass) and Laurent Delchambre (drums). Most of the material that is performed was written by either Delville or Dean, whose playing gives no indication of his failing health; the British improviser plays with much conviction on the John Coltrane-ish "Seven for Lee" (his best known song) and the reflective "Baker's Treat" (another Dean piece) as well as Delville's compositions. Dean's encounter with the Wrong Object is best described as mildly avant-garde instead of radically avant-garde; an inside/outside approach prevails, but The Unbelievable Truth is still fairly melody-minded and is relatively accessible by avant-garde standards. Although ...
