I first heard the North Carolina crew Kooley High on their mixtape, Kooley Is High, hosted by K-Salaam. Dope.
Charlie Smarts of Kooley High is the first of the three emcees that make up the NC collective to put out a solo project. This joint is the first release in the "Kool Summer" of 2009. F'Alex will be followed by Tab One's Tabloids and Rapsody's Return of The B-Girl.
About the album:
F'Alex is the coming out party for Charlie Smarts, although amazing together Charlie (whose real name is "Alex Thompson") shows that the emcees of Kooley High can shine just as bright when doing their own thing. F'Alex is a fun, upbeat, yet introspective album that is a journey through love & relationships both sexual and otherwise through Charlie's eyes. The title F'Alex which stands for "F*&%k Alex" is a play on words in that it represents the sexual "phallic" and also an allusion to his experince in the rap game due to the fact that people either want to fuck with Alex or they say "Fuck Alex!".
