"Shame The Devil, Tell The Truth" by Sir Bell Siqq (Hip-Hop/Rap artist from Kansas)

"Shame The Devil, Tell The Truth" is a hardcore gangsta rap album featuring powerful beats and high energy, cleverly delivered vocals from Sir Bell Siqq. This album does not mess around, as Sir Bell Siqq brings you his long resume of street credibility in the form of music. The content is a true window into the gangsta lifestyle. What really stands out is Sir Bell Siqq's talent as an emcee and his impressive ability to twist words around his tongue and deliver a barrage of image-invoking verses. The arrangements behind him are appropriately subtle and succeed in creating a sound consistent with a harsh environment. "Shame The Devil, Tell The Truth" has a great recording quality, so every rhyme is clear and understood. Highlights include "Gun In The Hideaway" with its extremely controversial lyrics and wicked gunfire samples in the intro. "Who Am I" features a great hook and some nice vocal layering. "The Truth" is an anthem for the lifestyle at hand. If you enjoy hardcore, true-to-life rap with claps and big beats, check out Sir Bell Siqq.
