Release Notes:
Whilst it's been only 18 months since the release of
..This Is ...., Sydney rapper Figgkidd (Lee Monro) has
gone through some serious personal changes. After spending
the better part of 2006 writing and recording his upcoming
self-entitled second album ..FIGGKIDD.., it was also
during this time Lee (Figgkidd) Monro also endured the
ultimate of unpredictable predicaments. Confronting
writer..s block, suffering depression, becoming unemployed
for the first time in years and just for good measure,
becoming a new father. This combination of events made for
the perfect reality check and it is through this life
experience 25-year-old Lee (Figgkidd) Monro has managed to
stay focused during public criticism and personal
turmoils, to turn his life around to become a stronger,
more dedicated artist.
One listen to Figgkidd's new album and the maturity is
obvious. ..I've come to accept who I am as an artist..,
confesses Figg ..I've always been criticised for always
having a commercial edge to my lyrics and music, but its
quite frankly who I am and what I listen to along with
other styles and genres, it's the musical trademark I've
come to accept and right now I feel really good about it,
it's what makes me different from the other rappers who
spit the underground style...
Whilst Figgkidd was scouting for beats for the new album
back in early 2006, a young producer, who handed him a CD
full of beats after an event he had been hosting in
Burwood, approached him. Little did Figgkidd realise that
the young talented producer called Ace Wonder was only 16
at the time and was producing while still goin to school.
Always looking for unsigned talent to work with Figgkidd
was so impressed with the young producer, he trusted him
to produce a majority of the new album under the Executive
Producer guidance of Lui (unda K9)!
Although not usually fazed by industry heavy-weights
Figg's previous bio reads like a hip hop who's who, his
previous associations with big industry players such as
Grammy award winning mixing engineer Richard ..Segal..
Hurredia (Dr Dre, Eminem, D12, Xzibit, Snoop, Swollen
Members), Proof (D12), Tech N9Ne, DJ Babu (Dilated
Peoples), Peter Coppes (The Church), Brian ..Big Bass..
Gardner at Grundman's (Dr Dre, Snoop, Eminem), RedFoo aka
Stefan Gordy, Steve Balbi (Noiseworks & Universe), Tim
Dog, Static, Nomb (Goodfellas-Universal), Redzone (Britney
Spears, Madonna), Neff-U Feemstar (Dr Dre, Ne-Yo) and
having toured and performed along side such artists as
Cypress Hill, Nelly, Kool Keith & Kutmasta Kurt & Digital
Underground (Park Jam 2005) and Ugly Duckling was what
Figgkidd called ..A very humbling experience, especially
for a guy out of Bankstown Australia...
Listeners won't be disappointed in the guest appearances
on the new album, nor the topics, this new album
addresses, issues ranging from a comeback track called
..FEEL GOOD.. Figgkidd's first single from the album
featuring recent vocal samples of the legendary of Mr
James Brown. ..This track is a killer,.. says Figgkidd,
..I still can't believe we not only got it approved, but
then we got the samples to use on it.
