We find our heroes deep within a new year, in the throngs of a business in peril. Looking to produce an album that brings the music business out of its stupor, out of the cold and the rain. Can an album sell a record breaking number of copies anymore? I believe we have found an answer. Yes. With an early 2009 release, Hat and Hot Sauce bring us Cu$$ Word, a short EP that is only four songs surrounded by two skits. Despite its short length, Cu$$ Word delivers big time with the two rappers giving a concept so polished, so effortless, and so universal that they can win over any listener. This album is deep within the idea of a revolution, a change, and any other buzz word that encapsulates the American public.
The album's bread and butter comes within Hot Sauce's ability to lay down rhymes that make your head spin. He sprinkles his words of wisdom over Hat's beats like Mrs. Dash on a piping hot steak. His words hold content and substance while maintaining a flow thats unprecedented in modern rap. Combined with Hat's production and guest appearances from Poncho and Eazy D, Hat and Hot Sauce make an album ready for radio, MTV, NPR, and even BET.
Although my review can speak volumes about this album, to hear it is to need it. This being said, the lead single is available for download below. Even though I got a promo copy of the album, the full and final record will be coming out soon and can be found where all music is sold. Look forward it coming out next week.
