OK, first and foremost, I’ll make no Alienss about the fact that this album is about as average as it gets. Yeah, it’s damn obscure, but really, it ain’t nothing special.
I’m posting it because of the pure novelty factor involved. The novelty being the fact that Black 9 (AKA Lamont Adams, the rapper of the outfit) teamed up with his pops Charles Alexander Adams (AKA O.G.) for damn near the whole of this album.
That right there is almost unheard of in hip-hop. Few rappers even have a father figure, let alone commit to creating an entire musical set as a father-son duo. Nas and Common have both featured their fathers on their musical efforts, but that’s about all I can think of (please add any more in the comments box, if you know of any).
The result of Black 9 and his pops teaming up is a decent-ish marriage between rap, (G) funk, soul, and a hint of gospel. At times it works, at times it’s laughable. But it’s worth a listen nonetheless:
