The effort will feature production work by Ali Armz, Quasi, ILL Clinton and Anonamess, as well as guest appearance by Jym Kelly.
“Naturally when we think Ghetto Blaster we think a big Boom Box. But, for me when I think Boom Box I think back to when DJ’s were breaking records, staying up late taping Stretch and Bobbito, Marley Marl, Red Alert, going uptown or Brooklyn and coping DJ Clue, S &S, DooWop, Tony Touch tapes for them exclusives that nobody has and taking them to the block and showing off to the homies,” said Ghetto. “For us it was a competition who had the more exclusive songs. It’s the part of hip-hop I miss the most. So, in essence the Ghetto Blaster is that. It’s also my first tape in six years and my first Sensi-Starr effort. If I had to describe it in one word it would bars! A lot of them.”
Ghetto MC, government name James Johnson, is from Staten Island, NY and resides in Paterson, NJ. Born on Valentine’s Day, his love for Hip-Hop formed growing up in the same neighborhood as Wu-Tang Clan, Shyiem, King Just, and more. Encouraged by a middle school teacher to put his artful, thought-filled poems to music, Ghetto began rhyming early on in the WondaGh3ddon/Tre Pound clique and released his first mixtape, Direct Approach. Later, with the help of Glomgold who introduced him to The Uncanny, his talent emerged on projects such as G=MC2, lending a strong backbone to the Sensi Starr roster. Ghetto MC is part of the impressive growing Sensi Starr roster that includes Adlib, Skrewtape, Ren Thomas, J.O The Last Man, and Burke The Jurke.
