Remember Mork and Mindy, the late-eighties/early-seventies sitcom starring Robin Williams as a manic extraterrestrial from the planet Ork? Alfamega apparently does, as he’s repurposed Mork’s catchphrase as the title and hook of a newly-released record. Off the emcee’s long-delayed debut LP, I Am Alfamega, Na Nu is a mishmash of science-fiction catchphrases and bizarre boasts in the tradition of Weezy‘s Phone Home. Though Alfa’s planetary puns are entertainingly unhinged, his sleepy delivery makes the verses a little hard to follow – the faster, more aggressive flow he employed on Head Banger suits him better. On the production tip, Nard & B deliver a suitably spacey mix of cheesy organ riffs and bumping bass that, oddly enough, sounds as if it was inspired by Leontovych’s Christmas classic, Carol of the Bells. I Am Alfamega has been pushed back numerous times, but if all goes right, it won’t be long till the ATL rapper gets to say “Na-nu, na-nu.” to listeners nationwide.

Hmmmm I wasn't really feelin the hook but everything else was straight. Alfamega is one of my fav's. Glad to see he's back in the Booth. This is in rotation though.

Alfamega always looks like an angrier version of Mike Tyson. This joint is blah.

Mork and Mindy is a classic. That is where Robin Williams got his start. This doesn't impress me much, but from what I have heard of the new - its coming - album, Alfamega has plenty of fire to keep us all locked.

I'm feelin the production but not him. I don't really like his voice and he's annoying when he says na nuuuu...don't wanna talk about that famous gorilla again lol (michaelhannah I meant exactly what u wrote...he seems a gorilla, a Mike Tyson, aggressive and angry)! It's ok the production is cool

Decent production but this seems like a lazier version of Weezy's "Phone Home" which is mentioned in its description. I think Alfamega isn't bad, he's the Grand Hustle Muscle, but this isn't the type of tracks that he does well on. His flow is bad here and I was pretty bored, cause the hook isn't too catchy and lyrically its hard to follow. Still lookin out for I Am Alfamega, but this isn't helping things.
