Cormega - The True Meaning

In an era of celebrity rappers and prefabricated beef, Cormega speaks much needed truth. Picking up where his long-awaited debut The Realness left off, 'Mega's latest set of rhymes address the type of reality most MCs only pretend to live and don't necessarily even understand. Songs like "Live Ya Life" and "Soul Food" deal with the specifics of street life, while "Verbal Graffiti" and "Take These Jewels" focus on Cormega's evolution as an artist and a man. For those who like public drama, the appearance of Illmatic and Stillmatic producer Large Professor on "The Come Up" adds validation to "Love in Love Out," 'Mega's quiet yet firm rebuttal to the heated name-calling of Nas's "Destroy and Rebuild." Listen to The True Meaning and you'll be able to grasp how Cormega's street credibility has enabled him to sell 100,000 records without any major radio airplay or having a video in heavy rotation. Outrunning the clichés, Cormega's a genuine thug poet, and The True Meaning is an album worth owning.

Cormega - The Realness

MySpace

If rap's a hustle and only the strong survive, then Cormega must be an ironman. Better known for what he hasn't appeared on, 'Mega's name first came to light when Nasty Nas mentioned during "One Love" that he'd been incarcerated. Then came his much-publicized non-tenure with Nas's supergroup, The Firm. After years of dealing with street-music biz madness, Cormega has taken his time to craft The Realness. Similar in theme to his friend Prodigy's H.N.I.C., The Realness mainly deals with day-to-day life in the ghetto, while throwing a sideways nod to industry drama and the art of rhyming. On first listen, this might seem to be little more than that ol' bittersweet thug reflection people love to indulge in, but the quiet beats and somber lyrics will grow on you. The real gem here is "American Beauty," a succinct, multidimensional breakdown of the development of hip-hop at the hand of her creators. Are you listening, Nas?
