Editorial Reviews

The world is a ghetto, just like the 70s band War used to say. We live in a global neighborhood where there are more ghettos in the world than upper-class enclaves, sleepy suburban tract homes and middle-class row houses combined. Dave Ghetto repping Camden, New Jersey brings forth his solo debut. “Love Life?” is warm and filled with real soul while still keeping the subject matter raw and gritty much like the city that produced this witty wordsmith. The musical backdrop and features are provided by Tony Galvin, Denaun Porter (D12), 9th Wonder, Square, Cee-Lo Green, Phonte of Little Brother, Mystic, YahZarah , each bringing their talents adding to the classic sound of “Love Life?” as a whole cohesive unit. His album is already being compared to many classics, reconfirmed by many features in magazines. "Love Life?" caters to EVERYONE. This album is not targeted to one niche, IT IS MUSIC and already getting huge acclaim: • "Dave Ghetto is street, lyrical, floetic, and brings me home to the game naturally" – Fat Joe • "DG brings me back to the HIP HOP I love to produce, Heads will be bobing." – Just Blaze • “Dave Ghetto is simply the truth...this is what hip hop needs...dope beat wit dope lyrics...this went into my rotation from day 1” – DJ Jazzy Jeff • “Dave Ghetto is one of the flyest emcees I know. Some rappers (like Jigga & Mos) are just soooo natural and Dave is definitely one of those emcees. Whether he’s uplifting the young cats with one of his classic stories or just making a party jam he’s always so finesse about it. I wish hip hop had more emcees like Dave!!!” - Jack Splash of Plantlife • “Dave is part of what's good with Hip-Hop. It's been a long time coming but he has arrived with styles that remind me why I love this craft.” – Mystic

If like me, you've become totally disillusioned with the state of hiphop in general and the total lack of high standard of mc's then this is for you. Not only does DAVE GHETTO rock a mic on a whole other level but he also has an almost unnatural uncanny voice that sounds like MOS DEF. Now let me emphasise this "he doesnt sound similar, he actually sounds like Mos Def." This is honestly the album that Mos should have made instead of the weak "the new danger". Not only does Dave Ghetto sound like him but he actually delivers flows with alot more humour in them, in short, in my opinion he's better. The only reason i didnt give this 5stars was i found the production abit too relaxed+jazzy at times and would've preferred 1 or 2 more uptempo tracks. A very minor complaint when you get the pleasure of hearing this body of work, believe me. As i just stated the production is really smooth with jazzy horns and cool keys laced over funky basslines+beats. His lyrical scope is excellent as Dave shows us a wide range of topics that he tackles almost effortlessly. Standout cuts are "day in, day out", "static" (brilliant tale of a bad relationship), "the game", "ready for war" (awesome), "thats that joint" and the hilarious "groupie sex". But really any of the tracks could be regarded as standouts, there isnt a skipable track in sight. A must have for any hiphop fans collection.

THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY "ILL ILL ILL", MAN THIS ALBUM IS PURE ILL HIPHOP MUSIC. THE BEATS AND PRODUCTION IS CRAZY, SMOOTH HIPHOP BEATS ALL DAY AND DAVE GHETTO'S MC'S SKILLS IS JUST AS ILL. HE REMINDS U OF MOS DEF. LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY, IF THE MINSTREL SHOW IS THE SICKEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR, THAN DAVE GHETTOS LOVE LIFE? IS NOT FAR BEHIND, NO JOKE, ITS THAT DOPE. BUT LET ME STOP YAKKING, CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. PEACE111
