Cool-Aide
» Does your life lack pizzazz and flavor? Rapper Icon the Mic King teamed up with producer Chum to give you what you need most: Flavor Ade.
No, it's not an album featuring the big pitcher guy rapping "ohh yeaaahs" on the hooks. It's a record by hip hop's most persistent self-promoter, marathon runner and self-proclaimed Best Rapper Ever Icon the Mic King (Seriously, google "best rapper ever" and watch his name pop up. He went that far with it.). Working with producer Chum under the group moniker Cool-Aide, Flavor Ade is a 11 individual sugar packets that will have you straight buzzing and swearing off Sunny D.
Take "Neo Jack Swing" that features Icon and Chum reviving the energetic 90s style by flipping Ice Cube's profound anti-new jack statement, "You can New Jack swing on my nuts." Icon claims he and Chum are the modern day Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff and the comparison is legitimate. Front to back Flavor Ade recalls simpler times in hip hop when shit was fun and you could still sample Rick James. Flavor Ade features guest appearances by Slug of Atmosphere, Elzhi and Has-Lo.
Philly people should head to the Arts Garage Friday the 11th for the Flavor Ade Release Party.
Flavor Ade is out now. Get it here.
