Kutt Calhoun's Black Gold
Monday 4th March 2013 | Ronnie
Have you been looking for some pump up songs lately? Some songs that will get you working hard, pumping irons, and invigorate your game in general? Those old songs of yours not cutting it anymore? Well do not despair! Kutt Calhoun's brand new album Black Gold was released on the 26th February. This collection of aggressive dirty beats mixed with ill rhymes and energy packed vocals packs a punch and makes you want to get up and do something.
Kutt Calhoun is an American rapper from the streets of Kansas City, Missouri. He has released two albums before Black gold, with Feature Presentation peaking at # 60 on the billboard charts for top R&B/hip hop albums. The album features other artists like Tech N9ne, Krizz Kalko and Bishop Don Datta. Some songs may remind you of rapper Ludacris as the style is sometimes shared when Calhoun speeds up his rhymes.
The album in total is about 60 minutes long consisting of 14 songs. The first song of the album ignores the traditional introduction song and goes straight into arguably Black Gold's most explosive song, 'Self Preservation (feat. Krizz Kaliko)'. It currently peaks at 132,000 views on youtube.com. 'Self Preservation' is similar to a mid 2000's decade song like Roy Jones 'Can't be touched,' in that it aims to pump you up with the excitement of the MCs behind the beat. They alone help elevate the adrenaline as they go mad on screen and spit rhymes packed with aggressiveness and strong language.
Other notable songs in the album are '501's and Rightsides (feat Brotha Lynch Hung)', 'I been Dope (feat Tech N9ne', and 'Baby Mama Drama (feat. Bishop Don Dotta).' However, the album in total is pretty consistent in maintaining a pump up tone with thoughtful lines being dropped subtly. One of my favorite lines of the overall album is from 'Baby Mama Drama', "I ain't no eminem, so why you trying to act shady."
Overall, Kutt Calhoun's album Black Gold brings back memories of the 2000's decade and definitely is worth checking out.
