Description I figured I'd rock one of rapper Edan... I just recently starting listening to this dude, due to a recommendation from *pacman23 ... I had heard him on Lif's album Emergency Rations (track: Get wise '91) a little while ago, but didn't think he had his own shit out... It's pretty dope. He's got an old school lyrical style laced into really rough beats. (My cup o' tea.) Here's some fun facts from his bio:

PIANO TEACHER SAYS EDAN NOT GOOD AT PIANO.
EDAN SAY FUCK YOU SHUTUP.
EDAN HEAR ROCK AND ROLL JIMI HENDRIX.
EDAN LIKE IN HENDRIX JIMMY PAGE JOHN BONHAM.
EDAN PLAY GUITAR AND LIKE IN N.W.A. BAD WORDS.
EDAN LIKE IN RAPP EMCEES RHYME-IT.
EDAN PLAY IN BASS JAZZ.
EDAN MAKING BEATS FOUR TRACK.
EDAN MAKING RHYME-IT.
EDAN PURCHASE HAUNTED TURNTABLES DEEJAY COMMIT SUICIDE LEAVE TURNTABLES TO EDAN. (true story)
EDAN NIKKE RAP N' SCRATCH.
EDAN DO IT HIMSELF.
EDAN HAPPY MAKE SONG SOUNDS LIKE ALI SHAHEED MU-PHIFEN.
EDAN A LOT IN RAP.
EDAN MAKE SONG ALOT.
EDAN GO TO COLLEGE TO MUSIC IT.
SCHOOL NOT SO GREAT LENNY KRAVITZ.
EDAN PUT OUT TWELVE INCH SINGLE.
EDAN RAP BATTLE AND DEEJAY COMPETE.
EDAN SELL MIX TAPE IN STREET TO EAT.
EDAN RAPP N' SCRATCH AND KEEP ZE BEAT.
EDAN LIVE! CONCERTING AND PEOPLE MEET.
EDAN SEND FOURTH ALBUM UNFINISH TO QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
QUEEN OF ENGLAND GIVING TAPE TO MIKE LEWIS IN HEAVY PRESSURE SECRET.
MIKE MAKE LABEL.

About the render, it's a little more simplified than usual (especially the background), just as a change of pace.

I've played the first one a bit. Me and a couple of mates would go multiplayer on the level with two warthogs, we'd all make a scramble for them, and the two that got 'em first would just go nuts crashing into each other and teaming up to run the other dude down.
Silly games.

The new edan album has been eating my stereo for weeks, you know what else i've been bumpin' a lot?
The new Count Bass D EP, is also great stuff.


Primitive Plus is definitely in my top five albums easily, as well.
It's nice to see someone do such a great emcee & producer justice when it comes to art. Wonderful stuff.
