ALBUM Explicit

CHILD OF THE GHETTO may find G-Dep to be a new face on the east coast hip-hop scene, but as the impressive roster of high-powered guest artists (not to mention Dep's placement on the prestigious Bad Boy label) shows, he's got the respect of the community. He makes good on the faith invested in him by presenting this forceful (but never over-the-top album full of urban portraits. With the help of spoken interludes portraying dramatized slices of gritty street scenarios, G-Dep lays down the cold, hard truth about ghetto life from a first-hand perspective (as implied by the album's title). With unfussy beats, plain-as-day verbiage, and simple-but-powerful delivery, G-Dep and such cohorts as Rakim, Black Rob, and Shyne show how a CHILD OF THE GHETTO can grow up to make something out of his troubled legacy.
