Clyde Carson - Crooked

Producer: Cookin Soul

Album: Bass Rock EP

Label: Moe Doe Ent.

Though Clyde Carson‘s upcoming debut full-length is not much closer to release than it was when he was first featured back in July of ‘07 (Doin’ That was one of my first blurbs-written for the Booth), the emcee does finally have a project out and available for purchase from online retailers (and a few select record shops). Of the seven tracks on the Bass Rock EP, the one the Booth has chosen to feature sees Clyde venturing outside the Bay Area (and West Coast) “box.” You might need to turn your volume up a bit to hear the subdued rhymes he spits on Crooked, but those who do will be well-rewarded. Between Carson’s reflective bars, Cookin Soul get their DJ Premier on with a hook sampled from various “new classics” (the ones I could make out were Nas’ Zone Out, Birdman & Lil Wayne‘s Stuntin’ Like My Daddy, and Jay-Z‘s Pray). Crooked is proof that there’s more to Clyde Carson than the trunk bangers his EP’s title references—if he can remember that, his career will doubtless be a long and successful one.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Honestly, this production work is so smooth that I'd listen to the instrumental on repeat. Glad to see that Clyde can show off another side. Before this, 99% of his records sounded the exact same. I am feeling generous tonight... Follow @DJBooth

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs "Cookin Soul gonna blow up!" * a voice exclaims with excitement * Carson motivated by the quality of the music on this delivers a quality performance on mic ... Easily not the most lyrical rapper out there, but Clyde took advantage of what he has and put together a well-constructed BANGER!!!
