The rapper and producer of gangsta rap
known as Dr. Noxx has released his latest LP album, “The Public
Enemy.” The gigantic record contains 20 original Dr. Noxx tracks
for an approximate total listening time of over an hour. It has been
proudly published on the Bloody Corp Inc. independent music label
without the support or involvement of the corporate music industry.
Based on old-school foundations of hip hop but bringing its own
cutting edge of stylistic nuance into the new millennium, “The
Public Enemy” by Dr. Noxx is a record fans of the gangsta sound
everywhere will want a piece of.
Dr. Noxx cites as main artistic
influences several of the titanic legends and masterminds of the
genre, including Public Enemy, MC Ren, Ice T, and Boogie Down
Productions (which included KRS-One, D-Nice and DJ Scott La Rock
among others later). His own sound will almost certainly appeal to
fans of the old school, his beats coming largely from the 808s and
909s tradition, and his lines landing mostly on the beats as was
standard for more than twenty years.
Additionally, Dr. Noxx's lyric prowess
extends beyond English alone into French, making him one of few
artists to publish a full-length rap album for the French language in
2018 so far.
Asked to discuss the overall themes and
meanings of his songs on “The Public Enemy,” Dr. Noxx writes, “My
album is about all social problems, problems such as drugs, racism,
police brutality, crime, sex, religious wars, and much more.”
Dr. Noxx's sound is intentionally based
on the '80s and early '90s feel of gangsta rap. His instrumentation
is taken from analog as much as possible, and the result is an album
which will appeal to a broad variety of hip hop's fans.
A veteran of the sound, Dr. Noxx says,
“Since 1998, I worked as a producer. I started with music as was
done in the 1980s with samplers and a rhythm box, and I played
keyboards.”
Naturally, the music comes out with
that original groove because Noxx has made it this way out of love
for the original hip hop quality which spawned a movement forty years
ago.
“I think the old school should come
back and replace the mainstream,” he says.
“The Public Enemy” by Dr. Noxx is
available from over 600 digital music stores online worldwide now.
