| | Review: | Beatmart Records is doing it big in '06, with a good range
of artists, and things just got even better with their first
release of Dirty South veteran Pettidee.
This hip hop warrior brings his gritty style to the fore
with his stunning Thug Love project, a set full of
slowed-down beats, dancehall ditties, hot jam tracks and of
course the stories that minister to even the hardest in the
hood.
This set is different from what’s gone on before, as
Pettidee explains:
“Thug Love is the very first album where I critiqued my
lyrics by letting other people analyze them. I was initially
offended by outside criticism, but after getting over that
the album just began to flow. From that point on I made up
my mind that this album was going to be next level. I
focused more lyrically, rewrote songs, and nitpicked the
beats."
Heads from Houston and elsewhere in the vincinity will love
"Stepped On". The beat is slowed down, but the intensity
of Pettidee is high octane as he targets his truth-filled
flow to those rappers that talk about their cars and
killing.
Pettidee was doing crunk music back in the ‘99 when crunk
was not popular. Represent" with Duece Poppi, is just one
example of how Pettidee gets a crowd hype, crunk style.
Of the dance tracks peppered throughout the album, the
funky, "Don't Stop" should generate the most appeal to
mainstream radio, as well as with church youth groups. Lisa
sings the hook.
GRITS and Verbs guest on the year’s party anthem, “Push
High". Even if you are not a dance crazy, this cut is so
infectious that with one listen, you will be drawn in. The
beauty is how every one of the rappers featured fit their
flows together so well.
Pettidee ministers and deals with issues that impact women
in particular on "Butterflies". With its signature
dancehall thump melding with Middle Eastern synth samples,
the song is a gem. The ministry continues with the smooth
"Learn to Let Go", in which the gritty emcee raps in a
toned down vocal style that fits well with the sincerity and
serious nature of his message: letting go of things that can
hinder growth in Christ.
Other hot joints on Thug Love are "Come with That Fire"
and “Huh Man" —and be sure not to miss Pettidee’s homage to
his wife on the sitar-heavy "Can't Make It Without
You".
Call Thug Love another hot release by the always-crunk, and
always-ministering Pettidee.
