MC Chris - Part Six Part One



So, I think this is Chris' last music project for a while, as he's getting back into animation soon. Not content to just release an album, he's starting it off with a string of three EPs, before eventually putting out the final full length called MC Chris Goes to Hell, which may or may not include different skits and remixed versions of all the songs. In any case, I'll probably end up gladly supporting whatever it ends up being. The first EP, Part Six Part One, is only a brief seven tracks long, with four songs and three skits. What it lacks in length it makes up for in persistent humor and quality. The skits are as funny as they've ever been, maybe narrower in scope than before thanks to the episodic nature of the release, but still hilarious. The songs are solid, and pretty darn sexual in nature, the most since he put out Eating's Not Cheating. The opening track is as explicit as you could ever ask for, and has some cool vocal effects and an asynchronous beat backing it up. "006" is another catchy song with a good chorus, and a funny little story going on about Chris being some sort of secret agent. "Gauges" is the requisite softer, more sentimental track, and "IG-88's '57 Chevy" is a humorous, auto-tuned reaction to his fake manager's suggestion from two albums ago that he follow up "Fett's Vette" with more songs about the cars of bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back. As a callback to the style and length of his earliest releases, I liked it quite a bit.
