INVERSE-“So True (EP)”—ALBUM GIVEAWAY!

Posted on January 9th, 2009 by ekko

Cali rapper Tunji, who goes by “Inverse,” wants you to hear the new EP, “So True,” so badly that he’s giving it away! It’s a very laid back record, as you might guess from the roster of producers and guests. Here’s the tracklist:

1. Rise and Shine [produced by Cook Classics]
2. So True feat. Deacon (of CunninLynguists) [produced by Decapbeats]
3. SunnyCalifornia Part 2 [produced by Adam Berg & Cook Classics]
4. Spark My Soul feat. Substantial [produced by Kno]
5. Beautiful City [produced by Cook Classics]
6. Goodnight Goodnight [produced by Kno]

I’m not familiar with Inverse, but this EP is impressive. So laid back it’s practically horizontal, the key track is “So True,” which features Deacon of Cunnylinguists. It has a smooth ‘90s West Coast flow with a hook that’s straight up Nate Dogg, but the fade out has scratching, which you’ll never hear on a Dr. Dre production. The mix of styles works well—it’s radio ready, hot and buttery. “Rise and Shine” is another really hot track that sounds like a single, with a gentle R&B hook behind the hook: “Something like a day like this makes me wanna raise my fist!” Another interesting juxtaposition. “Rise and Shine” is lyrically the best song on the record, hands down. I don’t think anything else here will blow you away, but it should still satisfy. Great for a drive, good for a session on the couch with a lady, and a solid, promising EP.
Try So True.
