Cappadonna is a long-time Wu-affiliate. It was rumored that he became the Clan’s 9th or 10th member according to certain sources, after ODB’s Death. He does not have a flawless flow, but his lyrics are penetrating and original. His raps mostly cover NY street subjects. It was reported that during his hiatus from hip-hop that he wandered the streets of NY homeless and worked as a Taxi cab driver. I have mixed feelings about this new release. It feels like a lazy effort on his part, but I am not sure yet. Most of his other releases had to grow on me for a while before I like them. His style hasn’t changed much on this. He is still talking about grimy gangster subjects and his constant struggles as a b-list rapper. I felt like he let the beats get away from him at some points on this. The production on this was mediocre as expected from the low-budget Chambermusik Record label. The single Somebody’s Got To Go was definitely the best song on this. It features Cap flowing perfectly over a jazzy mobster beat. The other standouts on this were Da Vorzon, Pistachio, Savage Life, and Walk With Me. This new release will not be bringing in anymore fans for Cap, I give it a 3/5.
