What can be said about ‘the ghetto’ that hasn’t been said more eloquently or insightfully by MCs like Jay-Z, Nas, Saigon, Wu-Tang, Cormega, Biggie, Shyne or Scarface? The next wave of NYC thug life crime reporters is still trying to get on, and Red Cafe has paid his dues on mixtapes for years now.
Teaming up with DJ Envy to shout randomly over the intros and outros of sturdy, contemporary jeep music beats by J. Cardim, Rockwilder, Track Masters and others, Red Cafe only serves uncut street-hop. Remy Martin gets gully on your girl before Fabolous touches down for a New York minute on Dolla Bill.
