C-Rayz Walz - Red & Blvck
Artist: C-Rayz Walz
Producer: 9th Wonder
Album: ALL BLVCK EVERYTHING: The Prelude
Label: SUNCYCLE ENT/ Real Talk Music
On chilly days in my neighborhood (Uptown Minneapolis, for anyone interested in stalking me), it’s not uncommon to see hipsters sporting the “Red & Blvck” lumberjack, with the hat to match (unkempt beard optional, but encouraged). Lest we forget, though, a certain emcee by the the name of Christopher Wallace was rocking flannel way,”way back,” in hip-hop’s formative years. On his latest single (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!), Bronx vet C-Rayz Walz takes a Biggie-sampled beat by 9th Wonder as an excuse to take longtime hip-hop lovers on a trip down Memory Lane. Backed by the Little Brother affiliate’s boom-bap percussion and gritty soul samples, the artist affirms his devotion to rap’s roots, delivering shotgun-blasts of pop-referential lyrical freshness: “Got that Wild Style foul that the Furious forged, and I relate to Black & Yellow like Curious George / Big red dog like Clifford but I think different / Like Dwayne Wade with shades on, pimpin.” Need more C-Rayz Walz in your life? Then keep it locked—neither ALL BLVCK EVERYTHING: The Prelude nor the forthcoming album have received a drop date, but you’ll be first to know when that changes.

C-Rayz Walz, backed by 9th Wonder, over some Biggie samples? Uh, where do I get more! Shouts to DubMD on the premiere opportunity. This, my friends, is what hip hop music is beloved.

C-Rayz shows that he has the potential to be one of the greats. This is sicker flow than I've heard from any lesser known artist recently. Production loses it the one point; not because it's bad, but more because it sounds too cluttered. I was waiting for the moments when the beat dropped and I could hear C-Rayz.

9th is incredible. Everything he makes is so high quality. I was really feeling C-Rayz's flow too, love how rugged and raw he sounds.
