Creature, the enigmatic emcee (who doubles as the frontman for Rebelmatic, one of the most popular bands on the Afropunk scene) is back with Torn Together, his first solo record in 4 years.  Having worked in the past with luminaries across genres, including the late Ari Up of The Slits, Bad Brains' H.R., Slug, MF Doom, and Prefuse 73, he’s become known as a rapper’s rapper. The album is another flare sent up announcing that NYC, once again, is the throne world of hip-hop’s underground.
 
The set is reminiscent of the best the late 90s and early aughts indie hip-hop, infused with hints of modern sound pallets and production aesthetics. Preservation (Ka, Yasiin Bey) responsible for the bulk of the album’s production lends his subtle yet dangerous sound to the record marking out a territory safe for Creature and his guests to wreak havoc with minimal damage to outsiders tipsy on years of weak rap. 

 
Guest producer Noble Dru offers up a synth-operated vehicle for Creech to trade barbed wire whip lashes with Vordul-Mega (of the recently resurrected Cannibal Ox) on “Sore Eyes”. Kool A.D. a longtime Rebelmatic supporter pops up on the deep-fried soul of “Warhol’s Wig”.  Homeboy Sandman pays his respects to the underground prince by joining Creature on a “Rollercoaster” of true school drum patterns scantily clad in ghostly organ riffs. 
 
The word play is undeniable. The production is loop tyranny of the highest hip-hop order. This is a New York rap record…that sounds like a New York rap record. More dirty south Bronx than dirty south…and that’s a good thing. 
 
Creature, the kid from Corona more recently lauded for thrashing his locks at packed rock shows stepped back into the booth and done good.

The Perscription

Danny Diablo "Chain Gang" (feat. Tony Slippaz, Creature, Sav Killz, Illa Ghee

SMILE is an acronym for (Several Meanings Involving Life Experiences)

1st Verse:

Wildest stories incorporate allegories...
Brain slicker than drains with poured grease...
For a child before me...
With a smile more sweet...

On most occasions...
Inner joy gives motivation...
Smile energizes, soul awakens...
Hit the road or pavement...
Hustle up, get  doe for saving...
Knowing when I get home, your smile awaiting...
Brightening my world as the coldest day ends...
Painting pictures with your smile so breathtaking...
A smile that welcomes, suggests staying...
Silencing my nightmares no Wes Craven...
Smile like a snare drum, balancing bass as the records playing...
Ease the pain in my heart, when my chest aching...

2nd Verse:

I prefer smiles saying it’s worthwhile...
Followed by the best kiss...
Smile suggested, you gave it your best kid...
I hate smiles desperate and deceptive...
They cause hurt usually start as a forced smirk...
Explaining body language, written all over ya face...
The smile says I want you to fail, hope your disgraced...
Or end up in a grave, broke or replaced...
Those smile keep me focused...
In the streets, easily noticed...
Who secretly opposes...
Different from the smile deeply devoted...
Always look for the bright smile walking in cold mist
