Bizzy Bone will host a listening party for his new album,
A Song for You, at Club Envy on Wednesday. Bizzy’s first major-label album since 2001’s
The Gift is pretty much the same ol’ sing-songy hip-hop from the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony member.
Bizzy just released another album,
Ruthless, last month. But
A Song for You is somewhat of a comeback for the prolific Cleveland rapper (that big-league score – Virgin will distribute the disc – is part of the reason). Rapid-fire rhymes, familiar beats, and a fastest-rapper-on-the-planet showdown with Twista (in “Money”) make it the most listenable Biz CD in years.
A Song for You comes out on April 22.
The party starts at 9 p.m. at Club Envy (2132 West 25th Street). Bizzy will be there. So will local rapper Jack Da Rippa, no relation to that other rhyme-spitting Rippa, Chip. --
