Storm The Unpredictable - A2: What should have been.
July 23rd, 2006 | Category: Reviews What makes a real MC?A real MC has to be conscience and aware of the realities around him.He also has to be able to flip those things with a twist on the story showing the artistic values in him, and still be able to have great rhymes, bringing out the poet in him.If this was and actual dictionary definition Storm would be listed as one of the examples.In his sophomore album A2: What should have been, Storm talks about real topics such as his song, "Grown Folk Biz".He talks about issues that he and many other "grown folks" face, I know your thinking anyone can do this, but in reality, anyone can not.Storm rides the beat almost flawlessly making it hard to do what he does.Although he has many conscience tracks like, "Darker the Berry" which he won a songwriting award for and, "Get Your Weight Up Remix", he shows how nasty his lyricism can get with a track called, "In Case You Forgot" which Priest Da Nomad accompanies Storm on.
With songs like "In Case You Forgot", I thought it would be hard to match that, but he did with the song "The Reintroduction", showing lyricism.Not just all lyricism though, it has a party vibe to it.With a great flow, and superb production this would most definitely be a favorite for B-Boys if it was a little longer.Now I'm not going to give away all the stories behind the tracks because I still want you to be surprised when you hear it.The CD also comes with some bonuses such as remixes, videos, and live footage, making the album even better!All in all this was a pretty dope album over all and I'm going to have to give it a 7.5/10

Remember when Hip-Hop felt good and rap music involved having fun and could even be described as uplifting?This week's Artist Of The Week (A.O.T.W.), Storm the Unpredictable, not only remembers those times, he's been creating them in Maryland for a number of years and is ready to explode onto the national scene this month.While continually performing at clubs, colleges, and showcases including Showtime at the Apollo, Nuyorican Cafe, the Philadelphia Music Conference, and Motown's Black History Month Conference Storm earned himself numerous awards and accolades.The Washington Area Music Association named him their 2002, 2003, and 2004 Hip Hop Artist Of The Year and his music has received praise from publications including XXL, The Source, Elemental and Insomniac.Storm honed his skills with the D.C. Hip-Hop organization Freestyle Union and now a few singles that have charted all over college radio later he's hitting listeners with A2: What Should Have Been, on Ty-She Ent./SPP Waxworks/Domination Recordings.Make no mistake, though he may have a lot of soul, this is no Quiet Storm.

I've won other ones, but none have ever brought me this much attention and notoriety.It's afforded me many opportunities from people and companies that I doubt would have had any interest in me otherwise.I honestly did not know how big of a deal it was until other industry people began to contact me about it once they heard.I honestly don't know if any other Hip-Hop artist has ever won it, but people seem to be reacting to it as if it's a rare occurence.
...
Storm The Unpredictable: I think the song you may be speaking of is "Get Your Weight Up."I just feel that music is such a beautiful thing that it can be a form of therapy for both the listener and the artist.Sometimes people don't even realize that things are bothering them until they hear it from an outside source.Plus for me, the only music that REALLY inspires me and I get into is music that draws me into someone's world.

Storm The Unpredictable: It's called A2: What Should Have Been and comes out via Ty-She Ent./Domination Recordings on August 8th.Listeners can expect a project that is very diverse but cohesive at the same time, with songs that are uplifting, funny, serious, socially conscious, and straight lyrical fire.I try to do everything in an entertaining way so it never seems like I'm just preaching to listeners.The album has classic boom bap beats from The Unknown, Decompoze (DC), Brainstorm Sounds, C. Walker, DJ Symphoni and Richmond, VA's Danja Mowf, plus guest spots from Priest da Nomad (Source magazine), DP of Poemcees (Def Poetry Jam), Almond Joy, Ty-Riek and Xavier.The album has classic boom bap beats from The Unknown, Decompoze (DC), Brainstorm Sounds, C.
