Serengeti brings a sharp satirical bent to Dennehy -- adopting a few personalities throughout the album -- easily making himself one of the most distinctive lyricists on the Chicago scene! Our favorite voice (of several) that Serengeti adopts is a quintessential southsider with a deez-and-dose delivery and a propensity to wheeze neighborhood institutions with a dead on precision that you might not fully appreciate if you haven't lived south of 26th St -- but there's much to love for anyone who digs unique, lyrically-centered hip hop. The set features production by Midas Wells, DJ Crucial, Emynd and others -- a bunch of guys that somehow find a way to match strong beats to eccentric rhymes about Brian Dennehy, the movie Critters, Tom Skilling, Tom Berenger, Minute Rice, Joey Cora (and other non-Cubbie Chicago sports figures you've never heard of), naval-gazing emo kids, O'Doul's and Ricobene's.

Dennehy is a crazy trip with multiple identities and some sick production! BUY IT!

Geti the Maverick
author: Masfonos
The second installment of his trilogy of CDs released this year (not counting 2 free downloadable LPs), Geti is as creative as ever, if a little inconsistent with this album, named for c-level actor brian dennehy. Geti's been expanding his repetoire this year, as evidenced by his february release Gasoline Rainbows, and it's a bit hard to stomach at times. Tracks like "Meth" and "Derek" consist of very little of the clever wordplay the Chicago native is known for, and the listener can't help but feel like he's slacking off to some extent. However, when he gets his act together, Geti is as able as ever. With some of the more creative topics you'll hear anywhere, and a drunken, haphazard flow, Serengeti is very entertaining throughout. A solid release from the indie king of Chicago.

Possessing an off-the-cuff absurdity that stacks up against that of MF Doom, Serengeti uses his strange Chicago upbringing (Communist activist mother, suburban father) to produce an equally bizarre, moving and witty walk through day-to-day life channeled through the hip-hop culture he knows and loves so well. Named after, of all people, Brian Dennehy, Serengeti's latest melds his blunted and distinct flow with all sorts of unconventional, yet head-noddable beatscapes. Whether musing on the b-movie Critters or talking about his iPod, Serengeti is easily one of the most unique MC's to appear out of any scene in a good number of years.
