Since making his debut on the late Tupac Shakur's 1996 album,
All Eyez on Me, Sacramento-based rapper
C-Bo is probably known more for his brushes with the law than his work in the studio. Despite spending time in jail,
C-Bo managed to release six albums in quick succession.
Enemy of the State ranks among his best efforts. The title track is a dramatic song filled with pianos and strings that seems to come out of a horror-movie soundtrack. "Nothin' Over My G's" and "Spray Yourself" are also impressive gangster rants. While most will be repelled by
C-Bo's dark, violent world view, there is no question that he has a voice that should be heard.
C-Bo is a talent who belongs behind a mic, not behind bars.
