EDO.G – The Truth Hurts (Promo CD) (2001) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

Edo G (born Edward Anderson) penned a poignant and brilliant message track on his 1991 album “Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto”. “Be a Father To Your Child” was a much more effective plea for parental responsibility than scores of political rhetoric spewed by left- and right-wing types.

The entire disc was a disturbing, evocative, and wonderfully produced and performed look at inner-city life that neither glorified nor minimized the tragedy nor understated the triumphs inherent in surviving the madness. The follow-up, “Roxbury 02119”, wasn’t quite as captivating, but was still miles ahead of many more heavily hyped and promoted hip-hop releases in
1993.

“The Truth Hurts”, Edo G’s solo debut album, was released on Ground Control in 2001.
