Tha Brotha Chilly T’s self-titled album was released on cassette only in 1991 on Boom Records from Jersey City, New Jersey. This album is a seriously rare local tape from Saginaw, Michigan that came with no barcode which was tape only. This album was his first debut. This album is filled with raw raps. Who knew that Saginaw could be so Sag-i-raw or Sag-in-raw?
Tha Brotha Chilly T (Todd Jones) went hard from 1990 to 1993. No one could fuck with him on Boom Records (Boom! Records)! The Brotha Chilly T was so underrated in his time! We need more brothers like him in the watered down cookie cutter rap game right now.
The first press of Tha Brotha Chilly T’s self-titled album has 4 tracks that were not released on any of his other releases and only be found on the first press edition. Tha Brotha Chilly T’s self-titled album had 3 pressings and was released 3 times. All 3 pressings were released with homemade covers having no barcodes.
Bending Cornas is about how Tha Brotha Chilly T is Bending Cornas in his jeep. He heads up to the spot. What does he see? Audi’s, Benz, Jeeps, and Cadillacs. The bass is pounding heavily from the sub-woofers. Tha Brotha Chilly T gets out to spit a little game to everyone.
All of a sudden, police show up. It’s time to leave the spot. Tha Brotha Chilly T sends out flyers to promote for his upcoming show. Tha Brotha Chilly T is just “Bendin Cornas” in his jeep. Bending Cornas is funky track with heavy percussion over a hodgepodge of various samples and breakbeats.
The percussion is super tight on Liven Low! So are the vinyl scratches. Liven Low is about Chilly’s time and experience in the drug game.
Back in the days, Tha Brotha Chilly T was a young broke man clocking dope and selling narcotics. Friends, money, and enemies were made in the process of him being a narcotics distributor. There were casualties as things were not always easy.
Tha Brotha Chilly T had his jeep parked around the corner in case the spot got hot with law enforcement. Ain’t no time to catch a case or charges. The 5-0 are on his case but Tha Brotha Chilly T is not having that. Now we are back on the streets. But however Tha Brotha Chilly T is eventually apprehended by police and booked in jail. After a debt to society, Tha Brotha Chilly T is eventually released into society.
Chillies Blunt is a Tha Brotha Chilly T solo track. He does not have The Bomb Squad posse backing him up or performing solo raps.
Tha Brotha Chilly T is in the back snappin’ necks and smoking cigars. His brother is in the back. Tha Brotha Chilly T is droppin’ game on wax (or in this case cassette tape). Also Tha Brotha Chilly T is producing. He’s in it to win it. The Brotha Chilly T teaches us there’s need to front or diss. Also, The Brotha Chilly T reveals that his legal name is Todd Jones. He runs his own record label called Boom Records (Boom! Records) which is located in the US state of New Jersey.
On My Game Is Deep, Tha Brotha Chilly T explains how deep his game is. His game runs deep. His game runs deeper and deeper as he goes detail explaining as to how deep his game goes. My Game Is Deep is a grimey gritty East Coast sounding rap track with heavy pultruding basslines. This track is the dopest on the entire album! My Game Is Deep samples the 70s soul track Soul Searchin’. It is more old school influenced in term of sound.
Real Thang is about how real Tha Brotha Chilly T explains. Tha Brotha Chilly T comes hard as a jail cell on this one. Tha Brotha Chilly T explains R.E.A.L. is Real Easy Ass Living as if it were a lifestyle. Chilly T called out weak ass MCs on their bluff. MC’s be clown with nothing real to say about. To make the track even mad doper and harder, Real Thang samples BWP - Wanted. Tha Brotha Chilly T went hard in 1991.
Blunts, Bank, and Bizness is about the world of accounting, business, and cigarette blunts. Bank is all about getting that money. All about making that GTA. In the world of accounting and finances are loan sharks along with shady bad business practices. Of course an accounting job is no easy task.
Break Threw and Real Low were 2 of the 4 tracks that could only be found on the first press edition of this album and nowhere else.
I rate this album, 5/5*****!!
