Description Of Music

Originally due for release in 1994 and only ever issued on a promo cassette, Freddie Foxxx’s Crazy Like a Foxxx album is finally available commercially. The deluxe 2XCD package includes the original album, plus the 1993 demo version produced entirely by D.I.T.C. (Showbiz, Lord Finesse, & Buckwild).

You can’t define Freddie Foxxx. Many have tried. Thug. Hardcore rapper. Magnum-toter. Cameo specialist. Beatdown-deliverer. Record executive menacer. Yes, Foxxx can be that—but only if you force him to.

As a youngster on Long Island, standing on stage after winning his first battle, Foxxx became convinced that his destiny was to be a solo MC. Perhaps that’s why fate led Foxxx to miss a 1986 meeting with a DJ named Eric B who was looking for a rapper. Another Long Island teenager named Rakim showed up instead, and they ended up recording “Eric B is President.” But Foxxx stayed cool with Eric B, who put Foxxx down with the Paid In Full Posse. Eric also let Foxxx use his studio time to produce and record his debut album, Freddie Foxxx Is Here.

Background

This is where the Foxxx legend took root. Trying to promote his album, Foxxx was confronted with the type of lies and deceit that built the modern record industry. So Foxxx literally took matters into his own hands. After an unpaid debt led to one particular confrontation at MCA Records, Foxxx’s rep was sealed. Despite a slew of blazing guest appearances on records by the likes of KRS-One, Naughty By Nature, Kool G Rap, M.O.P. and GangStarr, plus writing hit songs for certain platinum female rappers, no record company would touch one of the most respected MCs in the game. So Foxxx sank deeper into the streets. Meanwhile, pushed by a hunger for the microphone, plus his budding spirituality, Foxxx began work on his breakthough project.

The only subject the king recognizes is the one who won’t bow down…
