"I Got a Story to Tell" by Notorious BIG

I have a serious affinity for my hometown: Brooklyn, Bucktown, BK, Brook-nam, the Planet, whatever you wanna call it. although I left there about half my total existence but I have a hard time telling folks of where I am situated now. Don't let the DJ say "Is Brooklyn in the house!!!" You bound to hear a lot of noise from my side of the room. I love everything Brooklyn: the look, the sound, the women. My wife is definitely from BK. I couldn't have it any other way. Many of my favorite emcees came from Brooklyn: Jay, Big, Kane, Mos, Tek, Steele, SP, Fab, Buckshot, Masta Ace, Lyte, etc. The latest cover of XXL Magazine host the new cats that are on the come-up. a few dudes that are good some that I'm not feelin at all. One dude which I been warning cats for yeears was Red Cafe.
Its been many years in the making. Hot singles that never took off. Bad deals with labels, etc. He has the skills, the punchlines, the hooks, the voice, the drops, the appeal to the ladies and having recently signed a deal under Akon's label "Konvict" can place the chips in the right direction -considering the success of T-Pain. Lasltly he is from Brooklyn!!! The precursor album that mack 10's imprint on capital Records never was relased but leaked on the internet. A very decent attempt but not strong enough to create a buzz as leaks from artists like Kanye or TI.
My connections landed me an opportunity to sit in on an interview for his latest project the Co-op with DJ Envy. The boy can spit. The same hook-up allowed me to go to the listening party for the album set to drop on Oct. 8th on Koch Records. All I can say is Damn!!! With productions from Rockwilder the beats are on another level. I wasn't a big fan of the skits but the album is fire. My prediciton is Cafe is that dude. My personal feelings -it should have been releases on a major. Konvict Records release soon to follow. "What else!!"
