The Bad Seed & DJ Main Event Presents...The Curious Case Of Niggalis Cage



The Brooklyn MC known as The Bad Seed first generated a good amount of buzz in the late 90's through his work with Virginia based producer Nottz and his underground bangers "Uhhnnh" and "For The Kids". Quickly garnering some accolades as one of the best new, entertaining and original Hip-Hop artists in a good while many expected fully for Seed to rise meteorically and eventually shine brighter than the rest. Unfortunately however, and as we all know, as quick as many mixtape wonders in the big apple start, they stagnate or completely stop...

In Seed's case many people, myself included, didn't exactly find it that easy to keep tabs on him over the bulk of the early 2K's. In spite of maintaining a somewhat low profile that didn't include collaborations with many of NY's newer talent (thankfully) or releasing too many loose joints for mixtape fiends, Seed did manage in 2006 to release "Dirty Urine". A strong effort no doubt, but one that did draw some disdain from longtime fans for some of it's attempts at more mainstream songs.

I enjoyed Seed's earlier work a great deal more than "Dirty Urine" and it was songs like "Pockets" (that was excellently prod. by Jean Grae btw) that I continued to bump relentlessly all the while keeping my hope afloat that he'd one day return to the scene in force with new material that better mirrored his grimy and brutally honest initiation to the game.

Today is that day.....

Dropping "The Curious Case Of Niggalis Cage" Seed re-emerges as his new alter ego and with 14 new recordings aimed squarely at appeasing his fans from the late 90's who were instantly drawn to his gritty and comprehensible rhymes. A special treat for many undoubtedly will be Seed's trekking into Donut territory by composing two new joints over a couple of J.Dilla instrumentals.

Drawing inspiration for the title of this new mix from the recent box office hit film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" that was produced by Warner Bros., (who incidentally Seed was once was signed to), the grimy one has a devil of a time running the gamut of emotions and expression. From funny and sarcastic to intense and bitter...he re-introduces us to his many fascinating and chiseled depths, delivering a great piece of work to all those that have been patiently waiting.
