Tall, Dark & Handcuffed

TALL, DARK, & HANDCUFFED is 14 tracks of deceptively deep, daring, and always fun hip-hop. Kidwell's penchant for complex beats and catchy melodies is as evident as ever, as is his ability to create original music that's both accessible and personal. There may not be a name for this synthesis of showmanship and intimacy yet, but as he states on "Brutal Exposure," the album's opening manifesto, "There's only one name you need to remember - and it's mine."
