![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's not so much Turk's fault as it is his lack of support. If you want Cash Money-style rap, stick with Cash Money (there's a bounty of those albums), because Raw and Uncut pales in comparison overall. Surely former Cash Money fans will enjoy hearing Turk again, and perhaps find his showcased sense of maturity interesting, but that's about the extent of this album's appeal. What it does result in is a run-of-the-mill Dirty South album with little to differentiate it from the myriad others flooding the market during the early 2000s. The partnership seems tight, but it certainly doesn't result in the sort of catchy street anthems that Cash Money had churned out year after year. Turk works mainly with Kenoe, a rapper/producer who is billed as executive producer and who produces roughly half the album, rapping on a few tracks. Raw and Uncut lacks that support, sorely. After the split of the Hot Boys in 2001 & his departure of Cash Money in 2003 he signed a deal with producer KeNoe at Laboratory Recordz and released two albums Raw & Uncut and Penitentiary Chances. His previous album, Young and Thuggin' (2001), had been billed as a solo effort, but of course, no Cash Money album is truly a solo album - Cash Money is very much an enterprise, led by do-everything producer Mannie Fresh and a gang of rappers to fill in the gaps. Free of Cash Money Records, Turk didn't wait long before hooking up with Koch Records for Raw and Uncut, his first venture into the (truly) solo arena. ![]()
