| | Review: | Normally, it’s not too good to be stranded.
But in a musical sense, with top notch beats and rhymes as
come from Tre-9, being Marooned with only the sounds of this
Texan hip-hop artist in your ear, is in fact a great
thing.
Tre-9 CDTaking his stage name to mean the Trinity (Tre) and
the 9 referring to the impact of a nine-millimeter gun,
Bobby Herring states that "through my music I am firing the
will of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, at all who
will hear."
On his third project from his own Much Luvv Records in
Houston, Tre-9 forks over 18 tracks of eclectic sound,
enhanced by a variety of guest MCs including Lil’ Raskull,
Latin hip-hop specialist Geno V., Florida’s own Pettidee as
well as some smooth R&P vocalists such as Soulfruit.
After interlude preliminaries to set the mood (splashing
waves and winds through palms), Tre-9 delivers with “The
Godfather”, a cut to set the record straight by declaring
his faith in God, the Father. A brilliant harp-sounding
sample enhances his relaxed flow. [This song is also
available on 12" vinyl, with instrumental and vocal tracks
plus new remix included].
Perhaps it’s that laidback feel that makes some of the
smoother songs work so well. When he joins up with Soulfruit
vocalists on the message-heavy “Friends” or with Big Toe and
Maria on “All So Happy” (with its sample of the Bee Gees
tune “When You Stepped Into My Life”), you can’t help but
sit still and listen.
Other notable moments on the project occur on “All Soy”,
which revels in the glory of salsa beats, percussion and
feel with Geno V. delivering in Spanish and those crazy
infectious horns from Johnny Holliday.
Tre-9“Serve You, Serve Me”, which comes with straight up
with that explosive Holy South vibe, featuring Lil’ Raskull,
Da CLICK and Pettidee joining Tre-9 in extolling the
importance of serving each other as brothers in Christ.
Finishing the CD is an intriguing story cut titled “The
Wild”, and featuring The Parables. Rich southern accents
characterize the piece, framed by guitar, vocals from Big
Toe and an ‘old West’ type feel (complete with horse
imagery). Great track.
Credit the production finesse on Marooned to Big Toe, who
stubs quality into everything. To ignore this project would
be your definite disadvantage. | | source: GospelFlava.com, added: May 14, 2006 |  |
