Free Music Review: Cormega - The True Meaning
Hit: 4 Stars
Cormega's (A.K.A. Corey Mckay) sophomore independent album was "The True Meaning" (2002) an impressive fourteen track release. Queensbridge's Cormega opens the album up with "Introspective", a cut where Mega rhymes about himself. Next up is "Verbal Graffiti", Mega let's the raw lines rain backed by some basic production. One of my early favorites's is the somber "Live Ya Life" an outstanding track, Mega shines on this joint telling life tales backed by some premium production. "Aint Gonna Change" is a short freestyle where Mega reflects on incarceration, overcoming, and relates to being an emotional chameleon similar to Donny Hathaway, while ending the joint by calling himself "Queensbridge most respected Rapper". Mega then delivers another first class cut with title track "The True Meaning". Cormega then rhymes about a snitch on "A Thin Line", while remembering various queensbridge people and years past on "The Legacy". Cormega then explains his relationship/falling out with Nas on "Love In, Love Out", another quality track which was made in response to Nas "Destroy & Rebuild". I was happy to see that Nas/Cormega formally killed their beef recently as they are both MC's I like. Mega collaborates with Large Professer on "The Come Up" backed by some smooth production. "Soul Food" is a track about a women who's in a relationship with two men. Cormega then kicks knowledge on the Hi-Tek produced "Take These Jewels", the "Jewels" being his advice to those in the game. The J.Love produced "Endangered Species", is another highlight track on this release which Mega kills. Cormega closes this album off strong with "Therapy" lacing the track with some more introspective lyrics. "The True Meaning" is a substantial & memorable release from a slept on MC.
The True Meaning Poster
In an era of celebrity rappers and prefabricated beef, Cory McKay speaks much needed truth. Picking up where his long-awaited debut The Realness left off, 'Mega's latest set of rhymes address the type of reality most MCs only pretend to live and don't necessarily even understand. Songs like "Live Ya Life" and "Soul Food" deal with the specifics of street life, while "Verbal Graffiti" and "Take These Jewels" focus on Cormega's evolution as an artist and a man. For those who like public drama, the appearance of Illmatic and Stillmatic producer Large Professor on "The Come Up" adds validation to "Love in Love Out," 'Mega's quiet yet firm rebuttal to the heated name-calling of Nas's "Destroy and Rebuild." Listen to The True Meaning and you'll be able to grasp how Cormega's street credibility has enabled him to sell 100,000 records without any major radio airplay or having a video in heavy rotation. Outrunning the clichés, Cormega's a genuine thug poet, and The True Meaning is an album worth owning. --Rebecca LevineRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
