Brooklyn rapper Red Cafe refuses to pose for a picture without affecting the meanest scowl into which his face can contort. Since I’m familiar with neither his work nor his nature, I’ll have to take his outward appearance for its face value and assume that the man is just that hard. Judging from what little can be gathered about him, “Red” is the namesake of his street-hustling father, while “Cafe” is meant to represent the rapper’s restaurant-like ability to serve up illegal goods to hungry customers. His new street single, So Easy, is a bit of good old-fashioned crime rap. He spends the track bragging about his grind and comparing himself to everyone from Jennifer Tilly to the Arm & Hammer man. Producer Cuts Production handles the beat, employing some laid-back congo drums and legato horns. The track will appear on Red Cafe’s forthcoming debut album, The Shakedown.
Haha that pic made me laugh. This song is tight though, its a typical Red Cafe joint with a crazy beat. His flow is always pretty similar on every track, but it doesn't get too old for me. Meant strictly for the streets here, and its a banger.
Cafe is pretty good. I like this production. The hook is too simple. His verses are pretty decent though . It's nothing real special, but I'll throw it in rotation.
I dont know what it is about Cafe but his songs pull me in, but its mostly the beats not really his lyrical content cause honestly every song is the same B.S...he's got a very distinct voice too but dude needs to put on a shirt and stop shaving your chest
As much as I like Red and most of his records, this just doesn't hit the same way. He has a GREAT vocal tone, and his cadence helps follow his lyricism. Only problem on this track is that there isn't much originality to follow. The production was solid, but that is my favorite aspect here. I'll throw it in rotation, but I expect better from Red.
Look at this Birdman lookin wannabe LOL!!, beat is pretty sick, i think Game woulda killed this, and i would never say that until Dope Boys, thats the only song that got me to like the Game at all, cb126405 you right, strictly for the streets, cause it can't get no bigger.. haha
