Philly spitter, dreaded lyricist, Curly Castro has finished his Winston's Appeal album, right? What's the one thing he forgot about, though? Promo, nigga! So here's a double single that he flung into my inbox over the weekend, full of flavorful musings and sharp darts.Curly Castro "TeenAger" (prod. by Green Lidget Position): Not sure who GLP is, but this Hip-Hop/Jungle hybrid shit is RIGHT up my alley. Castro takes the "back in the days when I was a teen-ager" line and really let's you peer into the windows, alleys and basements where he and his compadres let loose and lived life. When one's an adult, it's hard to not reflect on the "glory days", or the "gory days", depending on how you spent those days. Love the aggression in Castro's delivery, thrown against a massive wall of sound.
Curly Castro "Wise" (prod. by Ta'raach): Castro channels Slick Rick and the other cinematic MCs out there, and tells a wild tale about some Jungle Fever that turns into a rape case. You'd think, in the Obama-run America, race issues wouldn't be running, but I could seriously imagine a story like this hitting the news wire, like, tomorrow.
Heavy single for you lot out there - and I know Cas has a number of fire tracks up his sleeve. Winston's Appeal drops in January, so we'll see what else pops up!
