Phat Kat: True Story Pt. 2
From: Carte Blanche (Look, Apr. 24, 2007) (Advance)
I was first introduced to Phat Kat through Jay Dee’s Welcome 2 Detroit (BBE, Feb. 27, 2001). My sister, Double N G Dukes, and I immediately became Phat Kat fans. Double N G Dukes spoke with Phat Kat at one of his performances. Her conversation abounded with accolades for Phat Kat.
His recent work at times has suffered from his acerbic tone whereby his battle rap gansterisms compromise his flow and word pairing. That said, I’m still a fan oscillating when his music is on.
His AllHipHop (AHH) feature interview: Phat Kat: The Upside of Anger by Omar Burgess is a Phat Kat Cliffs Notes biography which delineates his:
- first group “1st Down” with Jay Dee,
- first record deal with Pay Day via a chance-meeting with Gang Starr,
- Okayplayer tour and his pending release: Carte Blanche on April 24, 2007.
This copy of True Story Pt. 2 is an advance with slight audio inconsistencies. My assumption is these sonic blemishes will encourage legitimate purchasing…
