CROWD GANG BITCH

So I downloaded the free Crowd Gang Bitch album off of www.ayebro.co.nz today. I admit I had no Idea who Crowd Gang Bitch were and I’m not sure why I decided to download it but I think it was the cover art that intrigued me or maybe it was subliminal messages flashing at me or something.

So It turns out that Crowd Gang Bitch are like a hip hop super group made up of members signed to Move The Crowd Records. Dirty Sesh, Young Sid, Cavell and  Sir T are the rappers with production from Dirty Sesh, Pretty Major, Smokey Beatz, 44, and Shuko, None of whome I‘ve heard of until now bar Dirty Sesh. But I could fill a warehouse with shit I haven’t heard of.

Anyway…The opening track ‘Whiskey’ is the stand out track with the video to go with it. It’s a live video and looks like a mean as gig and showcases the talents of Young Sid and Dirty Sesh.

I really liked the songs ‘High Hopes’ which describes the difference between the hip hop dream and the disappointing reality of it all after it has come true and also describes the struggle to get the public to “feel” you.

The other track that stood out to me is ‘Radio Song’ which describes Crowd Gang Bitch’s awareness of the pressures to conform to the radio format and their reluctance and defiance to do so.

 ‘Say Something’ featuring Vince Harder and Cavell fits the description of a radio song very well and is my pick for the albums radio friendly unit shifter.

My only criticism of the album is the accents of the rappers constantly vacillating between Yankee and Kiwi which to me shows that the rappers haven’t yet found their true identity as New Zealanders.

I really liked the skits in this album which showed a more humble humorous and real side to the Move the Crowd rappers.

Over all this album is hot and I’m stoked I downloaded it. Thanks Crowd Gang Bitch…ridiculous name maybe?….hmmmm….maybe!
