Katrina might've hurt New Orleans and brought the Big Easy to its knees, but the music scene has bounced back almost effotlessly.
This is highly evident with the national release of "The Chancellor" by one of New Orleans' native sons, Giovanni "G." Turner. On tracks like "Good Standing" and "Martyr" G., shows off his lyrical skills with confident deliveries reminiscent of a youthful Malcolm X.
With brilliant undertones of knowledge beyond his years but his finger unmistakably on the pulse of todays issues, G. brings his signature swagger to each track. On "Wait a Minute Mr. Chancellor," G. reveals not so hidden desires to take advantage of the groupie following and yet he still delivers on heartfelt hip hop combo ballads such as "Fallen pt.2." Though this release marks a monumental moment for G., he is quick to relay that this is a triumph for the city of New Orleans as a whole. Not even his law degree from an ivy league unviersity or his assistant
professorship at one of america's leading edcuational institutions compares to the contribution that G. is making to hip hop with his long awaited Chancellorship.
From the storming intro, as the chancellor welcomes the freshmen class to Hip Hop Unviersity, to the very last note, this cleverly created work is not soon to be forgotten amongst the true appreciators of hip hop's past
present and future.
