Remember Blazing Arrow from 2002? The Gift Of Gab released his solo* album a couple of months ago. Nothing on it comes close to the most brilliant, revolutionary-sounding tracks of Blazing Arrow, but its pretty good nonetheless.

The Gift Of Gab - Way Of The Light (feat Vursatyl) 6mb, 192kbps
The Gift Of Gab - Just Because 4.9mb, 192kbps

Chali 2na of the Jurassic 5 is supposedly working on a solo LP too. Keep an ear out for that one.

*(Although really he just dumped Xcel for the album and got a couple of producers from Seattle to bring the noise in his stead.)

The lyrical skills are there as expected but the melodies aren€™t as instantly appealing as €œBlazing Arrow€ or €œNia€.

If you really want to witness the full potential of Gift of the Gab, get €˜Trouble (Eve of Destruction)€™ or €˜A to G€™ on your headphones.
