Uptown XO – Culture Over Corporate [LP]

On his new album, Culture Over Corporate, Washington, DC‘s own Uptown XO takes his time to weigh in on a slew of topics (ranging from gentrification, the President, surviving the crack epidemic that swept his city during the 80’s, pimping, and much more) as delivered in his intricate yet effortlessly liquid flow. Working with one producer – fellow hip-hop maestro and DMV representer Drew Dave – XO supplies fans with a airtight concept piece that simultaneously celebrates and scrutinizes his beloved city as it undergoes cultural and demographic changes for all the world to see. Standout tracks include a luminous anthem called “Make Noise” (which features his Diamond District comrade yU); an apologetic look at the life of young men entering the pimp game that’s aptly titled “Pimp Harder, pt 2“; a heartfelt letter to the world renowned “Chocolate City” called “Song For C.C.” (which features a poignant spoken-word piece from Leslie Olabisi); and a rousing album closer called “Northwest Coastin“.
