Next month will be the release of the Testament and I cant wait because it wil bring closure to a chapter in my life that has been in suspended animation but I aint gonna front the album feels good especially since it was being created during a time when Hip Hop meant something so you will be able to judge for yourself. People have asked about the tracklist but seriously is it really that important I would think people should be more concerned with the finished product and the tracklist that is on the net is something I just put out there so its not accurate.I will always put out inacurate tracklist you should know that by now. Also thers been a change Im not going to do multiple covers for the Testament everythings gonna have the same cover but 3 people will still win a chance to chill in the studio with me and hear the Urban Legend album. (which is near completion)

CORMEGA
THE TESTAMENT
3 ½ mics

In a genre where careers have a lifespan similar to that of an NFL running back (roughly five years), very few rappers ever experience the professional twists that cormega has. His odyssey began at Def Jam, where his freshman opus was shelved indefinitely. Since then, he’s had a nasty, much-publicized beef with previous benefactor Nasir Jones and went on an all –out grind that’s made him one of the most respected indie artest ever. Less seasoned lyricists would probably have folded, but Mega just keeps grinding out the yardage that could one day place him in a rap hall of fame.

The Testament is the album Def Jam locked in the vaults years ago and it’s just now getting the dust cleared of its case, being remixed, and finally ready for the masses. For that reason, several tracks here, although dated, provide priceless snapshot of the mid-‘90s street-hop scene. Songs such as the female-serenading “coco Butter” on which he describes the fairer sex as being “fly like the new GSs” provide class hip-Hop nostalgia that no amount of money can match.

True Queensbridge fans know to expect two things from a Cormega album: Vivid street epics and introspective, unguarded self-analysis. Cuts that verify this are “62 Pick Up” and the track “Testment, “which play like audio diaries and provide visual windows to Meg’s pas. On the shoot em up, bang bang tip, tracks like “Dead Man Walking” and “Killaz Theme” come locked and loaded with raw verses and dark production. For the latter, Q. B Affiliate, Havoc laces an eerie, stripped down string arrangement over which Cormega, Hav and P deliver a lecture on criminology a la the television show CSI. Although the content is vintage Mega, the flow on Testament is not as evolved as what he’s displayed on more recent outings—A flaw that’s a direct consequence of the album being recorded almost a decade ago.

Ultimately, what sets Cormega apart is his ability to bleed emotion and sincerity through his lyrics. It’s the fact that Mega can be downright real to self that separates him from the rest and helps him stay ahead of the independent pack.
