Ghettosocks
Get Some Friends
(Independent)
Ghettosocks is the real deal, an MC with an ear for old school tearing up anyone or anything that gets in front of him. He takes hip-hop back to the streets and makes it fun again. Get Some Friends is pure ear candy, throwing the calendar back to the days of hip-hop’s infancy, when word of mouth was more important than the hype or history of beef that the genre finds itself mired in today. With tracks entitled “Step to a T-Rex” and “Steal From Wal-Mart” you can be sure you’re not going to be saddled with some sort of heavy-handed message. Ghettosocks is sort of a hip-hop Kevin Smith—the tracks are exercises in pop-culture, dense with dialogue.
