Obie Trice – Battle Cry
Whenever I have a discussion about Obie Trice, the word “Eminem” comes up. I guess when you’re associated to such a super successful MC; that’s bound to happen. Obie is nice lyrically but has the (in my opinion) “Memphis Bleek” curse. That’s when a major artist puts you on and everyone has “VERY HIGH” 1st album expectations. It’s like Nas putting on AZ, Eminem putting out Obie, and Jay-Z putting out Beanie Sigel. I think they all had great 1st albums but when compared to the people that put them on……there’s no comparison. Anyway, look out for Obie’s latest project set to drop on August 23rd. Peace.
