"No one's ever made it" out of Alcatraz, a voice tells us near the beginning of Rasco's newest album Escape from Alcatraz. Why is this West Coast MC who's well regarded in independent-label hip-hop circles evoking the West Coast's impenetrable prison? Presumably because he feels like he's carrying a similar burden to someone imprisoned there, and he's just as ready to try and defeat the odds. In other words, he feels like he's got something to prove. . Escape from Alcatraz is first and foremost a reaction album, one made in response" [3] Quoted from popmatters.com/music/reviews/r/rasco-...

:: urban smarts . com | rasco : escape from alcatraz | review :: " The second, however, is much more personal, and also much more controversial, as Rasco calls out Copasetik Recordings and Jon Sexton (its label-head), relishing in his newfound freedom from that particular 'prison'. U Got The Time follows Get Free and builds upon the notion of getting things together and escaping from personal confinements over a laid back, soulful guitar loop. While Rasco can, at times, sound brash, his flow tends to be both relaxed and unforced, so that on a track such as U Got The Time , his verses glide effortlessly over the beat and roll seamlessly into the sampled vocal hook.

Alcatraz is well known throughout the world as the notorious San Francisco Bay prison built in the 1930s. In addition to housing such infamous figures like Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly, the house of detention is best known for being completely inescapable.

Rasco's an MC that's been doing his thing on the West Coast for a minute. He's had 2 solo joints, the Cali Agents How the West was One with Planet Asia, and now this, his first record on Coup D'Etat, home of MC's Akrobatik and Defari, as well as the group Soul Purpose. The Bay Area MC is sounding good on this. If there was a storm coming, and rhymes would keep people alive, Rasco would be a good MC to call because he's got rhymes for days. I like how he runs with the Alcatraz theme. Alcatraz is symbolic of his last label, Copasetik Records" [8] Quoted from www.hiphopgame.com/index2.php3?page=r...

Rasco is not new on the block considering his debut album came out in 1998 (Time Waits For No Man). He has made the move to the fresh label Coup D'Etat and is ready to get a fresh start. Escape From Alcatraz is a nod to one of the Bay Area's most prominent attractions. It seems like a worthy title for this slab of hip-hop. Rasco breezes through 13 tracks with some help from artists like Shake da Mayor, Charli2na, Reks, Casual, Planet Asia, and Kisha Griffin.

Rasco :: Escape From Alcatraz :: Coup d'Etat Entertainment " Rasco :: Escape From Alcatraz :: Coup d'Etat Entertainment as reviewed by Dan Mennella . Since its discontinuation as a Federal Prison in 1963, Alcatraz Island has steadily gained a legacy that it was the toughest prison for the tougest prisoners. Being an island in the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz was obviously one of the most difficult prisons to escape from in history. A Cali-based rapper named Rasco has now come along, and with help from his new label, Coup D'Etat (the home of underground favorite J-Live), feels like he has escaped from the always-limiting metaphor of career confinement in Alcatraz.

The new album, Escape From Alcatraz , features 16 tracks of what Rasco does best, ripping other MCs apart. The thing is, Rasco does it so well that it doesn't seem to get redundant. The production is definitely on point with Brisk One from 1200 Hobos (a collective of MCs and producers including Buck 65) behind the boards. Charlie 2na from Jurassic 5 also makes an appearance as well as fellow Cali Agent, Planet Asia. All this is just icing on the cake since Rasco definitely holds his own and provides us with reassurance that there are still artists out there who actually care about releasing quality music. The fact that he's from the Bay doesn't hurt" [12] Quoted from www.rasputinmusic.com/reviews.cfm?gen...

Splendid Magazine reviews Rasco: Escape From Alcatraz " I'm reminded of that comment when reviewing Escape from Alcatraz, San Francisco-based Rasco's first album since escaping a contract with his previous label. While it's certainly a solid album and a step in the right direction when it comes to establishing Rasco as a notable MC, it could have been much more.. Like so much of today's "me-first", respect-obsessed hip-hop, Rasco's driving force on Escape from Alcatraz is to establish himself as an artist worth reckoning with. His legal fight with his previous label is used as an allegory for the titular prison. "Fuck all these cats that don't treat a nigger the way he's supposed to be treated," he declares on "Get Free". While you could write a colleg" [13] Quoted from www.splendidmagazine.com/review.html?... [Published: Sat Oct 18 03:10:35 2008 UTC] [708 characters, 120 words] [score: 573]

Synthesis : Music : Rasco : Escape From Alcatraz : Review : Rasco : Escape From Alcatraz " Editor's Review: Rasco is a Bay Area icon, and has been since his first album. His collaboration with Planet Asia for the Cali Agents album only helped out his career. But his latest album, Escape From Alcatraz , stands out as an obvious disappointment for one reason; the production. The repetitive beats grow old after only a few listens because of the similarity between tracks. Lyrically, Rasco flows are as good as I remember, yet this time around he seems to focus a lot on a former label owner, Jon Sexton, who made the mistake of pissing off Rasco. Bad Idea. All in all, the album is mediocre, not one track stands out" [14] Quoted from www.synthesis.net/music/review/item-3...
