Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
For any hip-hop artist to obtain, manage, and maintain their success they must stay connected to the street. In a short period of 4 years Queens, NY's own DJ WHOO KID got his start from producing "beef tapes" which gave the featured hip-hop/ R&B artist(s) a forum to vent their anger and issues about other artist and the music industry directly to their fans in the street.

Needless to say, the streets were definitely feeling DJ WHOO KID and could not get enough of the tapes that he produced.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A truly awesome voice!.......2000-06-02

"A Richard Crooks Serenade" is a marvelous sampling of one of the greatest singers America had produced in the 30's and 40's. One gets to witness that honey Crooks sound in such classics as Ah, "Sweet Mystery of Life" (catch that magnificent High C at the end), "Macushla", the three Stephen Foster songs, and "If I should Send a Rose to You" (sort of Crook's theme song). This entire CD is a gem, but some REAL standouts are "The Holy City", "Because", "Be Thou Faithful Unto Death" (from the seldom performed St Paul by Mendelssohn). "Be Thou Faithful" will literally tug at your heartstrings. The "Serenade" from The Student Prince is a masterpiece of fine singing (Crooks, by the way, was Romberg's original choice for the lead role in this operetta). Crooks' voice literally pours out in this recording of "Serenade", culminating in two excellently placed High C's (the only real serious competition to Crooks on this song, in my opinion, is the great Mario Lanza). Crooks was one of the primo American Tenors of the 30's/40's era, displaying a technique and style that was unmatched, and after examining this CD, one will surely understand why. By all means, treat yourself to this recording and see what truly great singing is all about.

5 out of 5 stars What a fabulous Tenor!!!!!.......2000-05-24

If one has not had the oportunity of hearing the great voice of Richard Crooks, they have really missed out. Richard Crooks possessed an intense lyricism that is unmatched today. Crooks' "Serenade" from The Student Prince is sheer perfection (singing it in the original key, not lowered a whole step, like most Tenors), culminating on two very vibrant High C's. It is interesting to note that Crooks was Romberg's original choice for the role of Karl Franz (the lead) in the Student Prince, but, due to opera commitments, was unable to debut the role. This is a performance rivaled only by the great Mario Lanza. Other musical highlights on this CD are "Macushla", "Song of Songs", "The Holy City", and "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life". "Ah May the Red Rose live Alway" is sure to bring a tear to one's eye. A nuance on "Ah Sweey Mystery of Life" finds Crooks soaring up to a High C at the end (a feat one finds no other Tenor attempting on any other recording) and with Crooks, it works well. Crooks' "Because" is the standard by which all others are measured. One of the real finds on this disk is Crooks' "Be Thou Faithful unto Death" from the rarely performed "Paul" by Felix Mendelssohn. What heartfelt singing this truly is. Crooks genuinely excelled in this music and one simply MUST purchase this CD to listen to a true master. So if one is not that familiar with the incomparable voice of Richard Crooks, treat yourself and puchase this recording now! This collection is pure enjoyment from the Student Prince "Serenade" to the final selection "Be Thou Faithful unto Death". A real gem.

THIS CD PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE EVERYTIME I HEAR IT! JUDY KAYE IS A MOST UNDERUTILIZED TALENT ON THE BROADWAY SCENE, AND THIS CD PROVES IT. CLICK THIS RECORDING INTO YOUR CART THIS INSTANT!

5 out of 5 stars Pure Energy.......2000-09-17

What an incredible recording! What energy, what a fantastic voice! The songs, many of which are rarely recorded, are presented in a wonderful upbeat and stylish mood. It's almost impossible not to love this CD. Her tributes to the greats of the silver screen are very witty and yet not overly campy. Judy manages to almost one up Carmen Miranda, with her Carmen Tribute. I must say I never really liked the song "Thanks alot, but no thanks" until I heard Judy's version. This CD will leave you exhausted but with lots of happy memories. It will also leave you wishing that Judy Kaye recorded more often!!

Album Description

Recorded in Rio, the 4th full length album from hip-hop's nomadic wanderer, Ithaka, is once again testimony to the artist's "live it - write it - rap about it" philosophy. Although produced in Brazil, this album's unique brand of rhyming stories takes place in Mexico, Portugal, South America and the U.S. and revolves around deadly hurricanes, heroin zombies, monster waves, chaotic public transportation, materialism, torturous manual labor, drunk driving, questionable government policies, absent fathers, petty crime, lifetime loves, "middle-class poverty", nostalgia and the graceful wonders of marine life.

The audio part of the project actually began in Los Angeles during January 2003 where Ithaka spent four months pre-creating the album's instrumentals (soundtracks for his lyrical short films) with Reason, a simple to use, entry-level production software. From there, he relocated to Studio Monoaural in Rio de Janeiro, spending another four months recording live instruments and vocals with up-and-coming Brazilian producing talent, Berna Ceppas (who along with Studio Monoaural partner, Kassim, earned a Latin Grammy in 2001 for their production of the Lenine song, "Sonhei").

With the help of an eclectic array of musicians and vocalists from Rio de Janeiro and beyond, Ithaka's songs became sonically branded with a subtle yet distinct Brazilian flavor. Guest players included: rap stars Gabriel O Pensador and Bnegao(Planet Hemp), Thalma de Freitas(singer for Orchestra Imperial and costar of the famous Globo novelas, Colonial and Kubanacan), Liminha (bassist for Os Mutantes), Pepe Cisneros (Cuban transplant to Rio, mega-talented keyboardist and percussionist formerly of Hiphop Havana, now playing for Orchestra Imperial), flute and guitar player Felipe Pinaud (from Seu Jorge's band), Cezar "Bodao" Farias (drummer for Lulu Santos and Fernanda Abreu), Alberto Continentino(bassist for Ed Motta), Negralha (DJ for O Rappa), Claudinho Andrade (keyboardist for Giberto Gil), and Portuguese-Angolan artist/spoken-word poet, M'loa.

Post-production, final mixing and mastering of Recorded in Rio were handled in Los Angeles by Conley Abrams, who Ithaka collaborated with on his acclaimed 2001 release, Somewhere South of Somalia.

I've been following Mr. Ithaka's career for a long while now (since his heavenly song "Escape from the City of Angels" was in Antone Fuqua's flop, Replacement Killers) and this man's
voice and lyrics just seem to get better with each release...semi-goodlooking too.
