My Brother's Keeper
Queensbridge, NY rappers Cormega and Lake have teamed up to release a full-length album. While Cormega has bubbled in the underground scene since the mid-1990s, Lake (also known as Lakey The Kid) is perhaps best known for his cameo on Nas' 2002 album, God's Son. Separately their street-based music careers have been bittersweet, dropping critically acclaimed albums yet never receiving mainstream recognition, but together they hope to reignite the gritty QB sound - the Long Island City project houses once home to Nas, Mobb Deep, Tragedy, Nature, Marley Marl, and MC Shan. Their collaborative CD features guest appearances by rappers Fat Joe, Mr. Cheeks, and Greg Nice, as well as production by DITC's Buckwild and Ski.
