Kahali Oden - Blue Ribbon Rap
Artist: Kahali Oden
Featuring: Raekwon
Producer: Hippie Sabotage & Chase Moore
Album: Mean Doe Green
Label: Unsigned
While Mean Doe Green no longer goes by the name Doey Rock, listeners shouldn’t be fooled; as he proves with his latest offering, he’s still one of the meanest doing it. Hailing from Cali, the emcee will certainly make a memorable first impression on the percentage of the Hip-Hop world that hasn’t heard him before on his new single, Blue Ribbon Rap. Produced by Hippie Sabotage & Chase Moore, their RZA influences are apparent in the instrumental as abstract sounds lace the gritty beat, matching the hard hitting rhymes of Green very well: “Left lane/ Night train/ I deliver/ State liquor.” Guests Planet Asia and the chef Raekwon also seem right at home over the banging production, increasing Rock’s buzz with their high profile appearances. But crucially the headliner holds his own among the veteran rappers, and greatly increases his stature in the process. Expect this joint to be a standout on Green’s upcoming self-titled album, due out March 1, and don’t forget to check out the Sac-Town emcee’s DJBooth Freestyle.

What happens when three talented, street-oriented emcees jump on the same record? Seriously, this isn't a pop quiz or a riddle. The answer is "Blue Ribbon Rap." Most readers will either take it or leave it. Either you dig the basic production and cold hard rhymes, or you don't...

MeanDoeGreen, really held this song up. I must say i am suprised about that. How pleasing is it to be a fan of hip-hop these days, Its up for debate only because people dont wanna look. It is packed full of talent.

Three dope emcees that sound dope together. We'll give Rae honorary Cali status for this one, and say that Doe is as mean an emcee as I've heard lately. Dopeness.

I have to agree.... there isnt anything standout in this. Just some strong emcees. And they went to work on this. For real. The verse from Raekwon won me over for this. Im not really feeling the production from Hippie Sabotage & Chase Moore. Its actually really boring and annoying. I think the beat should have been a lil faster. Just saying...
