As the frontman for successful hip-hop group Arrested Development, Speech has built up plenty of experience for old-school heads to respect. Following his self-titled debut and sophomore set The Vagabond, the dual Milwaukee/Atlanta representative is inviting fans to come and take a seat at The Grown Folks’ Table for his junior album. To serve as many listeners as possible, Speech knows he has to get everyone to Start Spreading the News, so he brings two other big names to handle the invitations. As the emcee describes today’s organic music special, Jurassic 5 co-founder Chali 2na gets the audience to shake “like elephants at the sight of mice,” and Speech’s son, Jahi, offers a short but sweet verse that could be compared to an after-dinner mint. So Start Spreading The News, because the Grown Folks’ Table is set for this February.
Um.. that first guy's voice? You mean Charlie 2na? Your name says it all.. you must really be 13! Anyhow, the beat is a bit awkward for me here. Lyrics are pretty much on point.. I was very interested to hear this one, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations, mainly because of the beat.
Oh @*#$!!!! Where you been Speech? Mr. Windel, &Take;me to another place, take me to another land... I loved Arrested Development back in the day. This song is cool, Chali always brings the heat with that baritone flow. This is good aside from that hook and that singing part, who dug up ODB? lol RIP fam.
When the beat drops on this record, it initially sent chills up my spine. But then 3 seconds in, it completely changed... oh, well. *Chills gone* Being a HUGE AD and J5 fan, the work of Chali and Speech is enjoyable. Not the best either has produced, as a group member or soloist, but real enjoyable. **Z anticipates more...**
