Editorial Reviews

Necro's new album, Death Rap, is poised to reinvent hip-hop and aggressive metal music as we know it. Not many other artists have managed to strike a balance between the two styles of music without watering down one or the other. Death Rap pushes both genres to their extremes, far surpassing anything Necro or anyone else has done in the past While Necro is an underground hip-hop legend, his first musical project was playing guitar in a death metal band. However, his love of rap music soon set him on the path of writing, recording, and releasing albums on his own label Psycho+Logical-Records. Necro created a cult following, based on word of mouth and clever street promotion. His first two albums: I Need Drugs and Gory Days each sold over 30,000 copies and are highly regarded in the underground hip-hop community. Necro started to show his metal roots with 2004's Pre-fix for Death, an album that featured collaborations with members of Hatebreed, Slipknot, Obituary, S.O.D. and was even more successful than anything he had done before. His past successes have enabled Necro to build up a strong online following with over 135,000 friends on Myspace and a massive Youtube presence. Now in 2007, Necro is concentrating on his career, rigorously touring the world for the first time and releasing his most ambitious album to date. Death Rap features more of what fans love about Necro: raw lyrical skill, dirty hip-hop beats and an array of guest stars of the current and classic metal scene. Guest appearances include Mark Morton of Lamb of God, Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Steve DiGiorgio of Death, Dave Ellefson formerly of Megadeth, and Adam Jackson from Twelve Tribes. Death Rap is truly going to be a genre defining record for hip-hop and metal fans everywhere.

"Death Rap" is Necros most pro record by far!.... His other cd's are phenomenal, but this particular one is the tippity-top of the game for sure.... He still comes correct with the sickness, but its on a different plane.... The metal beats are wicked!.... The intros & skits flow perfectly with the Album.... There are a few less songs on this cd than on average from his other releases, but nothings missing!.... Each track is SO tight.... This cd is just PRO all the way....

If you don't normally listen to Necro - try one of his earlier CDs first to see what he's all about and than give this one a shot and you'll see how Necro's music has evolved and emerged.

There is some killer (pun intended) tracks, my favorite is #1 Creepy Crawlers, complete with Charles Manson interview snippets exemplifying how disturbing he is.
