The rap artist known as Caloe has
released his newest LP record album, titled, “Havoc.” The album
is a collection of 13 original rap tracks in Caloe's own
inimitable style. “Havoc” features excellent, extremely creative
orchestration in both melody lines and back beats, but most of all
showcases the seemingly endless talents of Caloe, himself.
Caloe's record, “Havoc,” is unlike
typical releases from the urban underground for many reasons.
Foremost, perhaps, is Caloe's willingness to pen and perform lyrics
that truly deserve the “Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics”
sticker. His lines, poetic and often shocking, openly proclaim his
deep, heartfelt belief in freedom of speech. This is perhaps at least
partially due to his fealty to the craft of writing, itself, which
grew out of a feeling of indebtedness to the art.
He
says of this, “I found that writing helped me through my questions
in life, and I noticed that music was always there for me in both my
struggling and my triumphant times.” As an artist, Caloe takes his
relationship with music very seriously. “I owe my life to music for
what it has given to me,” he writes.
Having
such an open mind with regards to telling the whole truth and nothing
but, one might expect Caloe to shy away from talking about himself,
but speaking from the heart doesn't bother him at all, either. In
fact, the opening track from “Havoc” is a song titled, “Know
Me.” This introductory song works as an excellent example of
Caloe's rhythm, rhyme schemes, and personality.
Its
chorus refrains, “Cause no one really knows me, and no one really
cares,” a sort of altar call for listeners to come and hear what
Caloe is all about on “Havoc.” At one point he mentions rape and
Baptists in the same phrase, followed by the following disclaimer:
“Oh my God, did he really just say that? Yes I did, b-tch, consider
it a little payback.” These lines may seem abrasive, but after
listening to Caloe's magnificently unique record, one must concede
that his honesty and straightforwardness is extremely refreshing,
particularly in a rap record.
And
besides, as Caloe raps later in the same song, “Just because
someone lives life, doesn't mean that they're the devil.”
Caloe's
LP “Havoc” is available online worldwide beginning April 5, 2013.
