Search - Fat Hed :: Night Train to Babbleon

A well done mildly silly hip hop album

"I first heard of Fat Hed from cdr's by a group called Halifax All-Stars that I picked up at Amoeba. The group was a hip-hop crew set up with a great producer by the name of Nocturnal Ron. Apparently "Night Train to Babbleon" is the first decently-distributed real cd to come out of that group. It makes a really good "indie party rap" cd. Mr. Hed's vocal stylings have a somewhat cartoon-character-like quality that remind me of Biz Markie. The production on many of these songs is mighty fine too. Nocturnal Ron does the duties for more than half the songs - his style is pleasurably chunky and rough-around the edges sample-based stuff, similar to parts of Wu-Tang Clan's second disc. Kutmasta Kurt also produces a track. Hopefully soon we'll see a decently-distributed real cd from some of the other Halifax members or Gershwin BLX."
