2005, Def Jux
The Def Jux debut full-length from long-running hip hop favorite Cage. The savagely raw and uncompromising imagery that made Cage a rap legend is in full force, where his narratives showcase everything from watching his father shoot heroin to the violence of his own addictions, stints in mental institutions, and the tumultuous days spent cutting an album for Columbia. Fourteen tracks featuring production from EL-P, DJ Shadow, RJD2, Blockhead, Camu Tao, and DJ Pawl, and guest spots from Jello Biafra, Daryl Palumbol, Aesop Rock, Tame 1, and Yak Ballz. Includes a bonus CD featuring the instrumentals and six remixable UMIXIT tracks.

Todd AdelWhen Subroc said, "Chris keep your hardcore gritty," Cage listened. But even more importantly, he finally found a way to validate his dubiously demented style by drawing from his real-life horrorshow past. While Cage, a.k.a. Chris Palko, has always shown potential in his gifted flow and flare the dramatic, his true moment in the limelight had not yet arrived until Hell's Winter, dropped. With his latest offering, Cage gives us 55 minutes of therapeutic boom bap. Hell's Winter has that sludgy, grimey quality that you would expect from any Def Jux release, but at times can be bouncy and club-friendly. The album boasts a deep and diverse support cast including DJ Shadow, Jello Biafra, RJD2, various members of The Weathermen and Darryl Palumbo of Glassjaw. Hell's Winter is solid the whole way through, and Cage's most polished album to date. Don't sleep on this one.
