Hip HopÆs Sunderland spokesperson Geejay steps up and
informs us æI Came To RepresentÆ. HeÆs a young hope
but his debut album boasts collaborations with Raekwon
and Canibus. Past the Skrilla artwork and the big name
guests whatÆs the CD actually like?

Actually, and maybe unsurprisingly itÆs not that good.
The synthy production aspires to bark with the big
dogs yet yaps weakly in comparison to similar attempts
on the scene right now. Some tracks display potential
but don't achieve their aims.

The lyrics are basic; Geejay employs rhyme schemes
circa 1980 (which were fine back then, but things have
moved on), relies too heavily on drawing out words to
fulfil his syllables per line quota and leaves
sentences hanging at the end of each line for rhymes
sake (æPlaguing me much / More than I thought ità').
The crude and immature concepts exhibit a lack of life
experience and teen years spent idolising US rappers.
æHeart AttacksÆ attempts to readdress the balance but
comes across a little too clichΘd.

æI Came To RepresentÆ is GeejayÆs version of every
formulaic rap LP ever made and unfortunately, it falls
short even of the middle mark. Some strict self
editing and serious writing graft might see him return
stronger but for now itÆs pretty feeble. Let's hope
that Sony development deal does just that.

Its worse than the review suggests WTF raekwon and
canibus are doing on this I do not know.
