Wow, excited to hear about the upcoming Big Dada record-- not having heard
that one, his best for my money is still his first, oop on
Scratchie/Mercury, _Easy Listening for Armageddon_. Mellow/menacing
live-acoustic feeling hip-hop, w/deeeeeep lyrics & the occasional out-form
track ("I'm Building a Bodacious Bodega for the Race War", & the last
track). Really personal & beautiful, & one of my all-time favorite records.
