The OG Freddie Foxxx AKA Bumpy Knuckles Volume 1



Hip-hop's least known and most authentic and legendary tough guy returns....Freddie Foxxx AKA Bumpy Knuckles the bad dream that so many so-called "hardcore" rappers thought was behind them has emerged on the scene once again to scare the shit outta people. Bumpy has decided to release a new mixtape via his myspace and for free, that times out at just over 23 minutes long (11 Tracks) and is a spicy gumbo of beats and hardcore rhymes.

Things jump off with Bumpy going in on just about every new jack in the industry a la Ice Cube's and Sticky Fingaz's in their respective "Jackin For Beats" tracks. Impressively, the wiley old Bumpy Knucks wields flow after flawless flow continuously at whomever dares question his or anyone from his era's status within the game. While panfully short, this mix is still effective and highly entertaining. Bumpy reels in his listeners using quite a few of the beats off of 50 Cent's debut record "Power Of The Dollar" (also his best produced album might I add, yeah I said it!). His freestyles over "Ghetto Qu'ran" and "I'm A Hustler" completely steal the show and are easilly the best joints on this latest offering. Indeed, Bumpy has returned with a nice assembly of new substance that will leave you craving for more. His honesty and fearlessness harken back to a time when hip-hop had no limits and authentic street scholars exercised no discretion, saying whatever was on their minds. Bumpy is set to be releasing some more new material here shortly and I've heard rumors of a new mixtape with Pete Rock, but one never truly knows wit Bumpy. I certainly will be keeping tabs on any new developments. Til' he does give us another new reason to step the fuck back, enjoy.....
