Shawnna f/ Buddy Guy and Shareefa - "Can't Break Me" (mp3)
I had moderately high hopes for Shawnna's new album, based partly on the show she did in Baltimore a couple years ago that I mention briefly in my City Paper review, but it's a pretty underwhelming record. I wish more of it was like this, or at least succeeded more in its attempts to be a Southern rap album. The Field Mob was pretty good, though, and if the Shareefa album lives up to the promise of "I'll Be Around" and Release Therapy is any good, DTP might stealthily become the most consistent rap label of the past year. Even that compilation was pretty strong.
Also in this week's City Paper, I review Gridiron Gang, one of the better flicks I've seen this year.
