The rapper from Sioux City, Iowa known
as C-Money has released his new, full-length LP record, titled,
“Midwestern.” The album has been released on the Doja-Ki Records
music label. Boasting no fewer than 11 original tracks for a total
listening time of 35 minutes, “Midwestern” is a round
introduction to this endlessly talented rapper from halfway between
the seas.
C-Money's sound on “Midwestern” has
its heart in the hip-hop traditions from the old school. Beats are
chill, rhythmic and full of soul. Melodies have their foundations in
the lyrical poetry of C-Money, himself. Few bells and whistles are
present to muddle and confuse the mix, leaving the listener to enjoy
C in his raw and unadorned state, which is how C-Money prefers it to
be.
“I don't try to imitate any style or
what is popular right now,” the artist comments candidly. “I am
not happy with the new so-called rap you hear these days, so I choose
to be the change I wish to see by making my own music.”
The tone of C-Money's sound is most
similar to the stripped-down classics of the '90s, when heavy-hitters
such as Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Tupac Shakur trailblazed a way for
modern hip hop musicians at a time when rap had been dominated by
transform scratches for more than fifteen years. Like those early
rappers, C-Money speaks from the heart, not about what's popular.
“My album sends a wide range of
messages and content based on emotion,” he writes. “Like
[written] poetry, my music explores the ups and downs of life. I am a
huge fan of mid-to-late '90s rap music, and I try to bring back a
musical feel involving MIDI instruments, such as piano, while keeping
a mellow feel. The music I create comes from my heart, and from
emotions I have felt.”
The album has not been released
lightly. C-Money's record is one of the most pored-over works of rap
music ever published.
“Being a perfectionist,” he writes,
“I've worked very hard for the last 13 years making music as a
hobby underground, and now I'm ready to share it with the world.”
“Midwestern” by C-Money is
available online everywhere.
