Out Of The Blue - In Cahoots

Advantages: Some amazing, original tracks
Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste

..."The world will know that this is the biggest mix tape on road, The world will know that Baby Blue is a heavy lyricist, The world will know that she's light skinned, The world will know that she's from south London, The world will know she's rolling with Ace and Invisible" I don't really think there is a better way to introduce this CD than to use the words of Ace and Invisible, It is probably the best way to introduce the 20 year old female British hip hop artist that has gained my respect recently. This full name of this mixtape CD is Out of the Blue Volume 2 - The world will know, and follows up her first CD, out of the Blue. And while ciao does not specify what volume this category is for, all the product information corresponds with that of this CD, now we have that cleared up let us get on with the music.

...on the move, which is where I prefer to have music playing and so I wanted a copy of the soundtrack album. Considering where the Blues Brothers were supposedly from, the opening number is quite appropriate. "Born in Chicago" is a 1960s style blues number with a rock 'n' roll undertone and reminds me of a slowed down version of a Chuck Berry song, although with the emphasis more on the blues end of the spectrum than the more rock 'n' roll sound that Berry had.
