I think Wax missed his Oscar for “Best Script” last night at the Academy Awards. Seriously. Purpose and plot belong in music just as much as it belongs in film, and hip-hop has had a gang of folks sweep the scene with stories that satisfy our ear space. SoCal emcee Wax gives script, score and then some with this redux of his newest release, Mary, a lyrical screenplay that features the chilling scenarios of films like Precious and Carrie matched with a 70’s action flick beat provided by Nobody Famous. Persuasive in delivery and emotionally uninhibited, Wax tells his cinematic tale over the driving, horn-driven soundtrack created by sir Famous, pausing to shout an incredibly up-tempo hook before Mary reaches its explosive climatic conclusion, knocking all competition out the park. I want to tell you good folks how it ends but that would spoil everything, especially when Mary goes and…uh…well..just wait and see for yourself. Grab some popcorn and block out a few hours to listen to Wax’s long-awaited Scrublife album when it drops March 15 via DJBooth.

Nice storytelling from Wax on "Mary." If you stick with it the song gets better and better. Especially when the vibe changes up and crescendos with some stellar live instrumentation. Still, though, the focus is always on the story.

Great story telling of a messed up story. Reminds me of Dance With The Devil by Immortal Technique, but not as good as Dance With The Devil. A good story telling song by a good artist.

As if we had any doubts about Wax' lyrical ability. This is stroytelling rap at its best, with a new twist - if all of Scrublife is on this level it's going to be a hell of a project.

Didn't Nobody's Famous used to be just 'Nobody Famous'?
Not sure, Wax though, quite impressed, it's like the more you listen the more you enjoy, takes awhile to get into the trumpets but well worth it, I think he could've spat a lil harder though, he didn't sound entirely convining, still, gonna be an awesome project. |

The production is really surprising on this. I was pleasantly caught off-guard. Wax certainly displays lyrical talent, but I am not yet sold on him. I will have to listen to the rest of the project.
