CD Review: Black Spade, To Serve With Love
Feb 25, 2008 6:43 PM Jason Jurgens (Writer)
With Common and Mos Def
going all Hollywood, St. Louis MC Black Spade arrives just in time to help you
remember the days when hip-hop championed creativity and fueled a culture of
poetic and hungry youth. Spade's flow falls somewhere between the
aforementioned rappers, but where Common comes off sappy and militant, Spade
breathes life into anthems of love and hate with his relaxed, introspective
cadence and eclectic beats, as on "She's the One ('20s Love Song)."
Spade has vocal chops, showcasing a confidence to put his rhymes on the back
burner and let the songbird out ("Actioneer").
