He’s got a sound most astronauts can’t wait to hear…
Remember him?
Back in like 1999-2000, this guy was one of best rappers out. Then dude gets signed to Rawkus and falls off the map. An album follows a couple years later (Music, Magic and Myth) but it felt like he lost his drive not to mention the buzz he built. He popped up on that DJ Jazzy Jeff the Magnificent LP for one of the albums better cuts and then vanished again.
In his day though, my man could spit. He was real conceptual, too. For instance, “Secret Wars pt. 1″ asks what would happen if your favorite rappers battled your favorite (Marvel) comic book characters. “Echo Leader” is a battle rap with science fiction stories. He also has really nerdy references to shit like the Centurions and that alien from Melmac (Alf).
He has an album called Palace of the Pretender that compiles a lot of jams from that era. Check it out if you have the opportunity to do so.
Last Emperor – Secret Wars pt. 1
HUGE shout out to Chris McCabe on the Milk Carton graphic. He needs to get his website together so we can direct some traffic his way!
