Rah Digga- Everything Is A Story (Unreleased Album)


For some time the new thing to do when becoming an emcee was to speak on shit that you didn't do, and didn't have. I refer to this era in rap the "jiggy" period. It is named after the feel good string of hip-hop hits that marred the charts, meanwhile there were more than a few "real" and authentic hip-hop joints being overlooked due to their so called lack of "radio friendliness". Okay so all that being said, we would have to come to the conclusion that as of recently it would be a considerably hard thing for a female rapper to break into the game if she wasn't spittin about her prada bag, or blowing her whole crew. Rah Digga must have missed the meeting where these facts were stated, cause she sure ain't pay none of em' no mind for this epic, yes muthafucka I said it, epic release. Kinda funny that up til' now, two of the best female albums ever (this one and Foxy's Ill Na Na 2: The Fever) were never put out for the masses to consume. And although this album does teeter on the side of being a little experimental as far as production goes, it is very reminiscent to me of how early Flipmode projects sounded and It never falters in the area of lyrics. Digga brings dope thought after dope thought for you to consume, spittin' mercilesssly, throwing out verses that range in subject matter. From "Pam's Fake Titties" to "poppin up like Osama'", this joint is somthing that isn't your traditional femcee offering. Lyrically it's above average and a lot of the guest features are well played. From The rejuvenating intro with Ghost, the melancholy vocal trading with pink on "Tell Me Why", the laid back groove of "Hot Tub" with Denaun Porter and Snoop to even gettin down with Fabolous on "See It In Your Eyes" Digga shows a unique talent to mesh well with almost any other style. Standout tracks are the "Intro" featuring Ghost (great Megahertz beat), "Dare You To Cross", "I'm Rich Bitch" and "Straight Spittin'".
